In summary, Trinamic’s TMC5160 is a high-power stepper motor controller and driver IC with serial communication interfaces. It combines a flexible ramp generator for automatic target positioning with an advanced stepper motor driver. Using external transistors, highly dynamic, high torque drives can be realized. Based on Trinamic’s sophisticated SpreadCycle and StealthChop choppers, the driver ensures absolutely noiseless operation combined with maximum efficiency and best motor torque. High integration, high energy efficiency and a small form factor enable miniaturized and scalable systems for cost effective solutions. The complete solution reduces learning curve to a minimum while providing high performance.
