The TMC236A-PA is a smart power Micro stepping Driver for bi-polar stepper motors. It provides an SPI? interface as well as the classical analogue/digital control. A full set of protection and diagnostic features makes this device very rugged. The integrated low-RDS-ON TrenchFET? power MOSFETs give an extremely high efficiency and allow driving of a high motor current of up to 1.5A per phase without cooling measures even at high environment temperatures. The small footprint and high efficiency make the device a perfect solution for embedded motion control and even for battery powered designs.
