Kevin Teresa based in Switzerland has created a new open source stepper motor driver board with 6A / phase and 48V capabilities enabling it to drive a wide variety of stepper motors from NEMA 17 to ...

Mikroe has added a smart 85V 10A stepper motor driver to its range of interchangeable ‘Click’ boards. Called Power Step 2 Click, the board “is based on the powerSTEP01, a 1/128 microstepping ...

Sponsored by Texas Instruments: Small packages that integrate current-sensing functions and field-effect transistors help to minimize board real estate in cost-optimized automotive systems that ...

An H-bridge (full-bridge) driver is quite popular in driving loads such as brushed DC motors and it is widely used in robotics and industry. The main advantages of using an H-bridge driver are high ...

Adjust the phase current, crank up the microstepping, and forget about it — that’s what most people want out of a stepper motor driver IC. Although they power most of our CNC machines and 3D printers, ...

Microchip Technology Inc. has announced a new family of dsPIC digital signal controller (DSC)-based integrated motor drivers. These devices combine a dsPIC33 DSC, a three-phase MOSFET gate driver and ...

Printed-circuit-board (PCB) substrate material, like FR-4 glass epoxy, is a poor conductor of heat. Conversely, copper is an excellent conductor of heat. So, more copper area on a PCB is ideal from a ...

Toshiba has got together with development board maker Mikroe to create a platform for its TB9M003FG automotive three-phase motor control and driver IC. Toshiba has got together with development board ...

[Mark Rehorst] tells us about a tragic incident involving an untimely demise of $200 worth of motor driving hardware, and shares a simple circuit so that we can prevent such tragedies in the future.
