TMC5160A-TA

TMC5160A-TA is a TMC5160A high-power stepper motor controller and driver IC with serial communication interfaces. It combines a flexible ramp generator for automatic target positioning with the industry’s most advanced stepper motor driver. Using external transistors, highly dynamic, high-torque drives can be realized. Based on TRINAMIC's sophisticated SpreadCycle and StealthChop choppers, the driver ensures absolutely noiseless operation combined with maximum efficiency and the best motor torque. High integration, high energy efficiency, and a small form factor enable miniaturized and scalable systems for cost-effective solutions. The complete solution reduces the learning curve to a minimum while giving the best performance in class. Typical applications are robotics and industrial drives, textile, sewing machines, packing machines, factory and lab automation, high-speed 3D printers, liquid handling, medical, office automation, CCTV, ATM, cash recycler, pumps and valves.
