Overview

The TMC2130-TA is a high-performance bipolar stepper motor driver featuring integrated power MOSFETs capable of delivering up to 1.4A output current. It operates across a wide supply voltage range of 5.5V to 46V and offers ultra-quiet operation through Trinamic's StealthChop technology.

Why Choose This Part

This driver offers StallGuard2 for sensorless load detection and CoolStep for load-dependent current control, which reduces heat and power consumption. The integrated power stage simplifies PCB layout while the dual SPI and Step/Direction interface provides flexible control for both legacy and advanced systems.

Applications

3D Printing
Utilizes StealthChop for near-silent operation and high microstep resolution for improved surface finish.
Laboratory Automation
High-precision liquid handling and positioning using 1/256 microstepping.
CCTV and Security
Enables smooth, vibration-free pan and tilt movements in surveillance cameras.
Medical Devices
Suitable for precision pumps and valves requiring reliable, stall-protected motion control via StallGuard.
