Adjust the phase current, crank up the microstepping, and forget about it — that’s what most people want out of a stepper motor driver IC. Although they power most of our CNC machines and 3D printers, ...

Bipolar stepper motors are used in many applications, from driving paper through a printer to moving an XY stage in industrial equipment. Typically, the motors are driven and controlled by inexpensive ...

The A3981 and A4980 microstepping motor drivers offer a single-chip solution for operation of bipolar stepper motors in full-, half-, quarter-, and sixteenth-step modes at up to 28 V and ±750 mA. 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 ...
