A new motor driver featuring pulse-width modulation (PWM) and serial interfaces ensures quiet and robust motor operation in industrial and consumer applications. The motor driver IC, supporting both ...

A new series of microstepping motor driver integrated circuits with an integrated step and direction translator interface has been developed specifically by to drive bipolar stepper motors. These new ...

ST Micro's Markus Ekler explains the technology and derives thermal loss equations that can be used to support design decisions for stepper motor driver circuits. One constant trend in the automotive ...

The primary feature of stepper motors is listed right within their name: their ability to ‘step’ forwards and backwards, something which they (ideally) can do perfectly in sync with the input provided ...

Even veteran engineers often suffer from a lot of misconceptions about stepper motors and how to drive them. This article will focus on clearing up just a few of these misunderstandings so that ...

Engineers rely on motion-control devices to improve efficiencies and production rates on automated factory floors, or at least maintain them. One family of such devices, stepper motors, is widely used ...
