ADI Trinamic TMC5160 Motor Controller & Driver ICs

Analog Devices TMC5160 Motor Controller and Driver ICs are universal high voltage controllers/drivers for two-phase bipolar stepper motors with serial communication interfaces. These driver ICs combine a flexible ramp generator for automatic target positioning with the most advanced stepper motor drivers. The TMC5160 motor drivers feature 20A coil current (external MOSFETs) and can realize highly dynamic high-torque drives using external transistors. These motor controller drivers exhibit 256 micro-steps per full step resolution, 8V_DC to 60V_DC voltage range, and are available in a small form factor TQFP48 or QFN-56 packages.

The TMC5160 motor controller and driver ICs incorporate proprietary MicroPlyer™, CoolStep™, SpreadCycle™, StallGuard2™, and StealthChop2™ technologies to provide high-integration, high energy efficiency, and cost-effective solutions. Typical applications include robotics and industrial drives, high-speed 3D printers, office-automation, factory and lab automation, textiles sewing machines, CCTVs, security, ATMs, liquid handling, and packing machines.

  - High-precision, low noise, low resonance, and low vibration chopper algorithm for highly dynamic motion and the absolutely clean current wave
- StallGuard4™
  - Sensorless stall detection and mechanical load measurement
- CoolStep™
  - Load-adaptive current control reducing energy consumption by as much as 75%
- DcStep™
  - Load dependent speed control (motor moves as fast as possible and never loses a step)
