TMC262 DATASHEET (V2.07 / 2013-FEB-14)
2
APPLICATION EXAMPLES: HIGH POWER – SMALL SIZE
The TMC262 scores with its high power density and a versatility that covers a wide spectrum of
applications and motor sizes, all while keeping costs down. Extensive support at the chip, board, and
software levels enables rapid design cycles and fast time-to-market with competitive products. High energy
efficiency from TRINAMIC’s coolStep technology delivers further cost savings in related systems such as
power supplies and cooling.
STEPROCKER™
The driver stage shown uses 6A-capable dual MOSFETs. All cooling
requirements are satisfied by passive convection cooling. The
stepRocker is supported by the motioncontrol-community, with
forum, applications, schematics, open source projects, demos etc.:
Layout with 6A MOSFETs
TMCM-MODULE FOR NEMA 11 STEPPER MOTORS
This miniaturized power stage drives up to 1.2A RMS and mounts
directly on a 28mm-size motor. Tiny TSOP6 dual MOSFETs enable an
ultra-compact and flexible PCB layout.
Miniaturized Layout
TMC262-EVAL DEVELOPMENT PLATFORM
This evaluation board is a development platform for applications
based on the TMC262.
The board features USB and RS232 interfaces for communication
with control software running on a PC. External power MOSFETs
support drive currents up to 6A at 40 V.
The control software provides a user-friendly GUI for setting
control parameters and visualizing the dynamic response of the
motor.
Motor movement can be controlled through the Step and Dir
Layout for Evaluation
interface using inputs from an external source or signals
generated by the onboard microcontroller acting as a step
generator.
