In summary, lower cost, higher reliability, better performance, and shorter design cycles are the result of ST’s innovations in motor control ICs. The dSPIN that is a monolithic solution can drive only stepper motors not DC or brushless DC motors. STMicroelectronics cSPIN has SPI advanced controller for stepper applications, providing fully digital control of the motion through speed profile generation and positioning calculations. It integrates a dual full bridge gate driver for external MOSFET with embedded non-dissipative overcurrent protection. ST’s cSPIN family requires no motor-control software and simplifies system design by performing all calculation, control, and interfacing functions in a single chip. cSPIN controllers are designed into applications such as industrial, robotics, printers, point-of-sale (ATM, vending machines, ticketing), medical, and security.
