POWER DRIVER FOR STEPPER MOTORS
INTEGRATED CIRCUITS
TMC249
Microstep Driver
for External MOSFETs
for up to 4A
with stallGuard™
INFO The TMC249 is a smart high current microstepping driver for
bipolar stepper motors. The integrated unique sensorless stall
detection stallGuard™ makes it a good choice for applications
where a reference point is needed, but where a switch cannot
be used. The ability to predict an overload makes the TMC249
an optimum choice for drives where a high reliability is desired.
It provides an SPI™ interface as well as the classical analog/
digital control. A full set of protection and diagnostic features
makes this device very rugged. It directly drives external MOSFETs
for currents of up to 4A. (A list of compatible power MOSFETs
is given within the datasheet.) This way it reaches an extremely
high efficiency and allows driving of a high motor current with-
out cooling measures even at high environment temperatures.
With the new chip-scale QFN package a 4A motor driver can be
realized on the size of a stamp!
The high motor current makes this device ideal for miniaturized
highly dynamic and high torque drive systems.
