TMC423 Main Features
The TMC423 is a triple incremental encoder input chip, which interfaces to any SPITM compatible
controller. The TMC423 can especially be used in conjunction with the TMC428 triple stepper motor
controller to provide position verification or stabilization using some additional software. It integrates
24 bit counters for each encoder to provide a high position resolution without CPU interaction.
Further it allows dynamic resolution adaptation to allow direct comparison of encoder counters with
motors using different micro step resolution. All encoder counters can be latched synchronously, or
whenever a null channel event occurs, providing a position on strobe holding function. The TMC423
also provides a step / direction output with programmable signal shaping for the TMC428 as an
optional function. A multiplexer function is also integrated for the TMC428 reference switches.
Furthermore control and drive of a LED and switch matrix is implemented. All functions can also be
used in conjunction.
