Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated
Stepper, Bipolar 10 ~ 30VDC Supply 3A Load
Active

Overview

The TMCM-1076 is a compact, single-axis bipolar stepper motor controller and driver module designed for 10V to 30V DC operation. It delivers up to 3A RMS continuous current (4.2A peak) and integrates advanced Trinamic technologies like StealthChop for silent operation and StallGuard2 for sensorless load detection.

Why Choose This Part

This module combines the driver and controller into a 60mm x 60mm form factor, reducing wiring complexity and PCB space. It features MicroPlyer technology for 256-microstep interpolation from a lower resolution input, and CoolStep for energy-efficient current scaling based on actual load.

Applications

Laboratory Automation
High-precision liquid handling and sample positioning where silent operation is critical.
Robotic Actuators
Integrated motor control for robotic joints requiring real-time stall detection and current scaling.
Factory Automation
Compact distributed motion control using Step/Direction or UART interfaces.
Medical Devices
Low-noise, vibration-free motion for patient-facing diagnostic equipment.

Getting Started

Configuration is performed via the TTL UART interface using the TMCL-IDE software to tune motion parameters and store them in permanent onboard memory. For hardware integration, the module provides optically isolated inputs for Step/Direction and an Enable input for H-bridge control.
