ADITMC2100 SilentStepStick
Overview
The TMC2100 SilentStepStick is a high-performance stepper motor driver evaluation board featuring the Trinamic TMC2100 IC. It is designed to provide ultra-quiet motor operation for two-phase bipolar stepper motors with a wide input voltage range of 5.5V to 45V. The board is pin-compatible with many common Pololu-style drivers, making it a drop-in upgrade for existing 3D printer and robotics projects.
Why Choose This Part
This driver utilizes stealthChop technology for silent operation and spreadCycle for high-speed dynamics. It supports up to 1/256 microstepping via internal interpolation, significantly reducing motor vibration and resonance. The board features a 16-pin layout that integrates easily with standard breadboards and microcontroller shields.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
To use the SilentStepStick, connect a 5.5V to 45V motor power supply and interface it with a microcontroller using the STEP and DIR pins. Ensure the onboard potentiometer is adjusted to set the appropriate motor current limit before powering on. Configuration can be customized via the CFG pins or through a one-wire UART interface depending on the specific hardware revision.
