company blog about Stepper Motor Driver IC TMC5072/TMC5072-LA Integrated Motor Driver and Motion Controller Solution

Mingjiada Supplies Stepper Motor Driver Chips TMC5072/TMC5072-LA Dual Silent Stepper Motor cDriver 5 to 20V, up to 1.1A with SPI Interface, 256 µSteps, SixPoint Ramp Controller, SpreadCycle and Stealthchop

Chip Profile:

The TMC5072 cDriver™ is an integrated motor driver and motion controller solution for CCTV cameras, pumps and other automation equipment applications. The device integrates two SixPoint™ ramp controllers, microstepping indexers, StallGuard2™ sensorless stall detection technology, and StealthChop™, a completely noiseless current control mode, to drive two bipolar stepper motors. The output driver block consists of low RDSon N-channel power MOSFETs configured as full H-bridges to drive the motor windings.Each output of the TMC5072 is capable of driving currents up to 1.5 A (with appropriate heat sinks).The TMC5072 is designed to be supplied from a supply voltage of 5 to 28 V. To satisfy the requirement for high reliability, the encoder interface provides feedback on the system status. The device provides SPI interfaces for configuration and diagnostics as well as step and direction interfaces.
