Overview

The TMC5130A-BOB is a compact breakout board for the TMC5130A high-performance stepper motor controller and driver IC. It integrates a SixPoint ramp controller and a power stage capable of driving up to 1.1A RMS (1.5A peak) from a 5V to 20V supply using an SPI interface for configuration and motion commands.

Why Choose This Part

This board features StealthChop for exceptionally quiet motor operation and SpreadCycle for high-dynamic motor control. The integrated SixPoint ramp generator offloads motion profile calculations from the host microcontroller, reducing software complexity and SPI bus traffic.

Applications

High-Precision Lab Automation
Utilizes 256-microstep resolution and StealthChop for silent, vibration-free movement in sensitive medical and laboratory equipment.
3D Printing and Desktop CNC
Provides advanced ramp generation and stallGuard2 sensorless homing to simplify mechanical design and improve reliability.
Security and Pan-Tilt Cameras
Ensures silent operation and smooth motion curves for surveillance systems requiring discrete positioning.
