Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated TMC5241-EVKIT Controller/Driver IC Evaluation Kit
Analog Devices TMC5241-EVKIT Controller/Driver IC Evaluation Kit is part of the ADI-Trinamic evaluation board system. The boards included in this kit, in combination with the TMCL-IDE, enable an uncomplicated initial evaluation of the TMC5241 while providing full control of all its features.
The Analog Devices TMC5241 is a smart, high-performance stepper motor controller and driver IC with serial communication interfaces (SPI and UART) and extensive diagnostic capabilities. It combines a flexible, jerk-optimized ramp generator for automatic target positioning. It also features the industry's most advanced stepper motor driver, with a 256-microstep built-in indexer, fully integrated 65V, 3.0A maximum H-bridges, and non-dissipative integrated current sensing (ICS).
Features
- 4.5VDC to 65VDC single-supply voltage range
