Adjust the phase current, crank up the microstepping, and forget about it — that’s what most people want out of a stepper motor driver IC. Although they power most of our CNC machines and 3D printers, ...

The primary feature of stepper motors is listed right within their name: their ability to ‘step’ forwards and backwards, something which they (ideally) can do perfectly in sync with the input provided ...

The DRV8711 device is a stepper motor controller that uses external N-channel MOSFETs to drive a bipolar stepper motor or two brushed DC motors. A microstepping indexer is integrated which is capable ...

The DRV8711 is a stepper motor gate driver with on-chip 1/256 micro-stepping indexer and stall detect. This device employs external N-channel MOSFETs to drive a bipolar stepper motor or two brushed DC ...

Extending the company’s bipolar stepper motor control family are two SPI versions of a motor driver capable of peak currents up to 800 mA and suitable for use with an external microcontroller. The ...

It is an engineering truism that there is no such thing as a perfect solution—just the best solution for the problem at hand. That holds particularly true for servo motors and stepper motors. Both are ...

Engineers rely on motion-control devices to improve efficiencies and production rates on automated factory floors, or at least maintain them. One family of such devices, stepper motors, is widely used ...
