Texas Instruments

Unipolar Stepper Motor Driver using a Bipolar Stepper Motor Controller Reference Design

Description

TIDA-00872 demonstrates how to reconfigure the DRV8711 bipolar stepper motor gate driver as a unipolar stepper motor gate driver. The PCB connects to the MSP430G2 LaunchPad to allow quick evaluation and tuning. The PCB operates from 15V up to 40V: with full scale current of 5A.

Features
  • 15 to 40-V operating supply voltage range with up to 4-A full-scale continuous motor currentUp to 1/256 microstep modes depending on motor speedBOOST-DRV8711 GUI for driver input control and motor tuningOnboard USB communication for easy connectivity with external controllerPlugs into MSP430G2 LaunchPad
Applications
  • Closed loop stepper
  • 3D printer
  • Pachinko machine
  • PachiSlot machine
  • Open loop stepper
