Pololu High-Power Stepper Motor Driver 36v4

Description:

This discrete MOSFET stepper motor driver enables control of one bipolar stepper motor. It supports a wide 8 V to 50 V operating voltage range and can deliver up to 4 A continuous per phase without a heat sink or forced air flow (6 A max with sufficient additional cooling). The SPI interface allows configuration of the current limiting, step mode (9 step modes from full-step through 1/256-step), decay mode, and stall detection. The driver also provides back-EMF feedback that can be used for more advanced control and stall detection algorithms. Additional features include reverse-voltage, under-voltage, and over-current protection.

Features:

  • Wide 8 V to 50 V operating voltage range
  • High-power: can deliver up to 4 A continuous per phase without extra cooling (6 A max with sufficient additional cooling)
  • Highly configurable through SPI interface
  • Optional STEP/DIR control pins (stepping can also be controlled through SPI interface alone)
  • Nine different step resolutions down to 256 microsteps: full-step, half-step, 1/4-step, 1/8-step, 1/16-step, 1/32-step, 1/64-step, 1/128-step, and 1/256-step
  • Adjustable current control lets you set the maximum current output, enabling the use of voltages above your stepper motor’s rated voltage to achieve higher step rates
  • Adaptive blanking time, adjustable decay times, and various current decay modes enable the creation of ultra-smooth motion profiles through the SPI interface
  • Optional STALL output enables stall detection when microstepping
  • Optional BEMF output enables more advanced control and stall detection algorithms based on the back EMF of the stepper motor
  • Driver supports alternate operating mode for controlling two brushed DC motors with PWM inputs instead of one bipolar stepper motor with STEP/DIR inputs
  • Inputs compatible with 1.8 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic
  • Digital outputs are all open drain with pull-ups to externally supplied IOREF voltage for use with non-5V systems (IOREF can be connected to neighboring 5V OUT pin for use with 5V systems)
  • Under-voltage lockout, over-current protection, short circuit protection, and reverse-voltage protection (up to 40 V)
  • Arduino library and example sketches are available that provide basic functions for configuring and operating the driver
