Worcester, Mass. – Allegro Microsystems' A3972 and A3973, in 24-pin batwing DIP or SOIC packages, are dual full-bridge pulsewidth modulation (PWM) motor drivers for microstepping applications. The ...

SAN DIEGO, June 28 /PRNewswire/ — The new high-performance, high-reliability stepper motor drivers from ROHM Semiconductor offer selectable excitation modes—full-step to sixteenth-step with 1.0A or ...

Microstepping is a major advancement in step motor technology introduced many years ago that allows motors to make finer steps in movement. By manipulating the current vector, microstepping creates ...

Arcus Technology has developed an all-in one NEMA 11 microstep motor with driver, controller and encoder integrated into the motor’s back cap, minimising external electronics and wiring.

Bob Christie examines the EasyStepper concept for driving bipolar stepper motors using an integrated step and direction translator interface. A built-in translator makes devices incorporating ...

IC has two-line Step and Direction interface and efficient DMOS output. Thomas Rowan, Allegro Microsystems, Worcester, Mass. Most microstepping motor drivers require control lines for DACs to set the ...

Know the four most common microstepping myths. Myth 1: A high microstep count will result in evenly spaced steps at that count. Microstepping is good for smooth motion. However, having a 256 microstep ...

Many step motor users are faced with a question of whether or not to use microstepping in their stepper motor application. “What will it affect and how will I benefit from it?� one may ask.

Brushless servo motors are all the hype these days. But stepper motors still provide a number of advantages while being more cost efficient and robust. Together with precision linear and rotary ...
