In summary, the TMC2130 features a wide voltage range making it suitable for almost all standard voltages, while providing adequate safety margin for overvoltage events. The full set of features yield good precision, efficiency, and velocity from any stepper motor. The microPlyer enables enhancing of applications, where limited real-time capability is available for generating high resolution step pulses. The TMC2130 can be controlled either by a CPU directly or using a dedicated motion controller, offloading the CPU from real-time critical tasks. Careful thermal management is a must due to the TMC2130’s high power density. In systems with a microcontroller with a precise crystal oscillator the TMC2130 can be operated with an external clock, otherwise the internal clock can be used. PCB layout is critical for good performance, special care must be taken to ensure good electrical and thermal properties. In order to achieve the best possible performance and efficiency, options such as stealthChop or spreadCycle, coolStep, dcStep/dcCoolStep, sense resistor, and stallGuard are available for the designer.
