Features

• Microstepping Control: Capable of full-step, half-step, quarter-step, eighth-step, and sixteenth-step modes, allowing for smooth and precise control of stepper motors.
• Adjustable Current Limiting: Features adjustable current control through a potentiometer, allowing fine-tuning of the maximum current output to protect the motor and driver.
• Automatic Current Decay Mode Detection: The driver dynamically detects and adjusts the appropriate current decay mode (slow or mixed) to optimize motor performance.
• Built-in Translator: Simplifies the step control; only two signals (STEP and DIR) are required to control the motor’s motion.
• Over-Temperature Protection: Includes thermal shutdown protection to prevent damage due to overheating.
• Over-Current and Short-Circuit Protection: Protects the IC from damage due to over-current or short circuits.
• Compact Package: Available in a surface-mount device (SMD) package, making it suitable for applications with limited PCB space.
