ADI Trinamic TMC5240 Evaluation Kit

Analog Devices Inc. TMC5240-EVAL-KIT is a set of one MCU board Landungsbruecke, one Eselsbruecke, and one TMC5240-EVAL driver board. It allows for a quick and simple start within only minutes to make the user’s motor turn while providing full access to all registers, functionality, and diagnostics. For diagnosis, all signals between MCU and TMC5240 are accessible with probes on the bridge board. TMC5240-EVAL can be used with or without the Landungsbruecke MCU board.

All the user needs to get started is a power supply and ADI’s free and easy-to-use TMCL-IDE. This graphical user interface (GUI) allows quick setup and supports the use of commands in direct mode, monitors real-time behavior visualized in graphs, and logs and stores data. All settings can be exported for the user’s firmware project.

The Analog Devices Inc. TMC5240 is a smart, high-performance stepper motor controller and driver IC with serial communication interfaces (SPI, UART) and extensive diagnosis capabilities that drive two-phase bipolar stepper motors up to 2.0ARMS (3.0A peak).
