Features
The TMC239 is a dual full bridge driver IC for stepper motor control applications. It is realized in a
HVCMOS technology and directly drives eight external Low-RDS-ON high efficiency MOSFETs. The
driver transistors can be chosen depending on output current or environment temperature. Its low
current consumption and high efficiency together with the miniature package make the TMC239 a
perfect solution for embedded motion control and for battery powered devices. It supports more than
3000mA coil current. With additional drivers, motor current and voltage can be increased. Internal
DACs allow microstepping as well as smart current control. The device can be controlled by a serial
interface (SPI™i) or by analog / digital input signals. Short circuit, temperature and undervoltage
protection is integrated.
