SGM42630
Stepper Motor Driver IC
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The SGM42630 is a bipolar stepper motor driver suitable
for automated positioning and movement control in
equipment such as printers, scanners and robotic
mechanisms. To control the stepper motor, two H-bridges
are integrated in the device for the two motor windings
along with a microstepping indexer logic. Bridge currents
are regulated by chopping the motor supply voltage
across the windings.
● Motor Power Supply Voltage Range: 8V to 35V
● PWM with up to 2.6A Current for each Winding
● Low On-Resistance: 0.29Ω for HS + LS, @ +25℃
● Microstepping Indexer: 1, 1/2, 1/4 and 1/8
● Step and Direction Interface
● Programmable Decay, Blanking and Off-Time
● Auto-Decay Mode
● UVLO for VM, VCC, VCP, VGD Voltages
● Over-Current Protection (OCP)
The step (STEP) and direction (DIR) inputs are provided
for simple interfacing to the controller. The device also
provides two microstepping input pins (USM0 and USM1)
to choose the step size (full, half, quarter and eighth step).
● Thermal Shutdown (TSD)
● Available in a Green TSSOP-28 (Exposed Pad)
Package
Fast, slow and mixed (fast then slow) decay modes are
selectable by applying proper voltage to DECAY input.
Programmable blanking and off-time of the H-bridge
PWM and selectable decay modes make the device
very flexible and capable of driving a wide range of
stepper motors with up to 2.6A per winding.
APPLICATIONS
Robotic Mechanisms
Textile Equipment
Scanners
Positioning and Tracking
Printers
A number of protection features are provided in the device
including under-voltage lockout, short-circuit, over-current
and over-temperature shutdown.
The device is available in a Green TSSOP-28 (Exposed
Pad) package.
