AMIS-30522 Micro-stepping Motor Driver
Data Sheet
1.0 Introduction
The AMIS-30522 is a micro-stepping stepper motor driver for bipolar stepper motors. The chip is connected through I/O pins and a SPI
interface with an external microcontroller. It has an on-chip voltage regulator, reset-output and watchdog reset, able to supply peripheral
devices. AMIS-30522 contains a current-translation table and takes the next micro-step depending on the clock signal on the “NXT”
input pin and the status of the “DIR” (=direction) register or input pin. The chip provides a so-called “speed and load angle” output. This
allows the creation of stall detection algorithms and control loops based on load-angle to adjust torque and speed. It is using a
proprietary PWM algorithm for reliable current control.
The AMIS-30522 is implemented in I2T100 technology, enabling both high-voltage analog circuitry and digital functionality on the same
chip. The chip is fully compatible with the automotive voltage requirements.
The AMIS-30522 is ideally suited for general-purpose stepper motor applications in the automotive, industrial, medical, and marine
environment. With the on-chip voltage regulator it further reduces the BOM for mechatronic stepper applications.
