The TMC5031 scores with power density, complete motion control features, and integrated power stages. It offers a versatility that covers a wide spectrum of applications, from battery systems to embedded applications with 1.1 A of current per motor. The small form factor keeps costs down and allows for miniaturized layouts. Extensive support at the chip, board, and software levels enables rapid design cycles and fast time-to-market. High energy efficiency and reliability from Trinamic’s coolStep technology deliver cost savings in related systems such as power supplies and cooling. The TMC5062 provides two encoder interfaces for use with external incremental encoders. The encoders can be used for homing of the motion controller as an alternative to reference switches and for on-the-fly checking of consistency between encoder position and ramp generator position. A programmable prescaler allows adaptation of the encoder resolution to the motor resolution. One of the encoders has dedicated input pins, while the second encoder shares its pins with the reference switch inputs. Two 32-bit encoder counters are provided.
