TMC428 - TRINAMIC

TMC428 Intelligent Triple Stepper Motor Controller

The TMC428 is a miniaturized high performance stepper motor controller with a unique price / performance ratio for both, high volume automotive and for demanding industrial motion control applications. Once initialized, the TMC428 controls up to three 2-phase stepper motors. Its low price makes it attractive also for applications, where only one or two stepp.

Features

The TMC428 is a miniaturized high performance stepper motor controller. It controls up to three 2phase stepper motors. All motors can operate independently. The TMC428 allows up to 6 bit micro step resolution
  – corresponding to 64 micro steps per full step
  – individually selectable for each motor. Once initialized, it performs all real time critical tasks autonomously based on target positions and velocities, which can be altered on-the-fly. So, an inexpensive microcontroller together with the TMC428 forms a complete motion control system. The microcontroller is free to do application specific.
