DESCRIPTION
The TMC260*) and TMC261 drivers for two-
phase stepper motors offer an industry-
leading feature set, including high-
resolution microstepping, sensorless
mechanical load measurement, load-
adaptive power optimization, and low-
resonance chopper operation. Standard
SPI™ and STEP/DIR interfaces simplify
communication. Integrated power MOSFETs
handle motor currents up to 2A per coil.
Integrated protection and diagnostic
features support robust and reliable
operation. High integration, high energy
efficiency and small form factor enable
miniaturized designs with low external
component count for cost-effective and
highly competitive solutions.
*) TMC260 refers to TMC260 and TMC260A unless
otherwise noted. The TMC260A is 100% compatible.
