Figure 1.1 TMC248 block diagram
The TMC248 is a dual full bridge driver IC for bipolar stepper motor control applications. The chip is
realized in a HVCMOS technology and directly drives eight external Low-RDS-ON high efficiency
MOSFETs. A 4A driver can be realized in the size of a stamp.
The TMC248 motor driver implements advanced features which are characteristic to TRINAMIC
products. These features contribute toward precision, energy efficiency, reliability, smooth motion, and
cooler operation in stepper motor applications.
In addition to these performance enhancements, TRINAMIC motor drivers also offer safeguards to
detect and protect against short circuit, overtemperature, overvoltage, and undervoltage conditions for
enhancing safety and recovery from equipment malfunctions.
