ADITMC5160-EVAL
Overview
The TMC5160-EVAL is a comprehensive evaluation board designed to demonstrate the capabilities of the TMC5160 high-power stepper motor controller and driver IC. It supports a wide supply voltage range from 10V to 55V and features an SPI interface for precise motion control and configuration. The board serves as a physical reference design for implementing advanced features like StealthChop2 for silent operation and StallGuard2 for sensorless load detection.
Why Choose This Part
This evaluation board provides a direct path to testing Trinamic's sophisticated MotionControl and StallGuard features without custom PCB fabrication. It handles high voltage up to 55V, making it suitable for driving NEMA 17, 23, and larger stepper motors in demanding power applications.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
To begin development, connect the TMC5160-EVAL to the Landungsbruecke baseboard and use the Eselsbruecke connector board for signal routing. Configuration and real-time tuning are performed using the TMCL-IDE software, which allows engineers to visualize motor performance and export optimized register settings to their own firmware.
