TMC5160 is a single chip that combines a powerful stepper motor driver and a motion controller. It converts digital commands directly into smooth, precise, and reliable physical motion. Expanded Nchannel MOSFETs allow each coil current up to 20A with a maximum 60V DC supply. It is designed for ease of use, requiring only the target position. Key features and benefits Allinone controller and driver: All stepper motor logic runs inside the TMC5160, so no software is required when driving NEMA17 to NEMA34 and larger motors. Connect to a host microcontroller over an industry standard SPI or a step/direction interface, and the device performs all realtime position and velocity calculations. current capability and flexible motor support: 2phase stepper motor drive MOSFETs deliver up to 20A per coil, with a supply range of 860V DC. Suitable for large motors while maintaining precise, reliable motion. Broad interface and feedback options: Interfaces include SPI and UART. It supports incremental encoder input and left and right limit inputs, and also ABN encoder input for additional feedback options. Precise microstepping and motion control: Step/Dir control input supports up to 256 subdivisions with microPlay microstep technology. SixPoint ramp generator provides controlled acceleration and deceleration for smooth starts and stops. Integrated performance drive technology: Secondgeneration StealthChop silent drive technology and SpreadCycle performance dynamic chopper controls provide motion smoothing with low noise, low vibration, and low jitter. The dcStep technology dynamically adjusts speed based on load, allowing the motor to rotate as fast as possible without losing steps. What makes it stand out Simplified design: An allinone solution that reduces external components and software requirements while delivering robust motion control. current capability in a compact package: Supports large NEMA motors (NEMA17 to NEMA34 and larger) with strong torque and reliable performance. Flexible sensing and limits: Builtin encoder input options and limit switch compatibility support precise positioning, repeatability, and safe operation. Advanced motion algorithms: SixPoint ramp, StealthChop and SpreadCycle work together to deliver quiet, smooth, and accurate motion across a range of loads and speeds.
