Stepper motors produce accurate, computer-controlled motion for applications such as robotic arms and paper-feed mechanisms for printers. They require current pulses delivered through a special ...

In Part II, we covered motor driving techniques, as well as various considerations to achieve smooth noise-free responsiveness.In this final part of the article, we’ll cover implementing motor control ...

Stepper motors are now being used more frequently in industrial environments. Increased performance and reduced size make them increasingly attractive, and their application is no longer limited to ...

This Design Idea further develops a previous one integrating a stepper-motor driver in a CPLD (Reference 1). However, this idea integrates not only the driver, but also a simple one-axis stepper-motor ...

AMI Semiconductor (www.amis.com) has introduced two single-chip stepper motor driver and controller ICs, each offering sensorless stall detection. AMI Semiconductor has introduced two single-chip ...
