From the trinamic web site: + + The TMC262 is the first energy efficient high current high precision microstepping driver + IC for bipolar stepper motors. The unique high resolution sensorless load detection stallGuard2™ + is used to for the world’s first integrated load dependent current control feature called coolStep™. + The ability to read out the load and detect an overload makes the TMC262 an optimum choice for + drives where a high reliability is desired at a low cost. The new patented spreadCycle PWM mixed + decay chopper scheme ensures best zero crossing performance as well as high speed operation. + The TMC262 can be driven with Step & Direction signals as well as by serial SPI™ interface. + Using the microPlyer allows to operate the motor with highest 256 μStep smoothness reducing the + input frequency to 16 μSteps. A full set of protection and diagnostic features makes this device + very rugged. It directly drives external MOSFETs for currents of up to 6A. This way it reaches + highest energy efficiency and allows driving of a high motor current without cooling measures + even at high environment temperatures. + + +The unique features of the TMC26X are that everything can (and must) be controlled in software: + +* the motor current +* microstepping +* stall protection +* current reduction according to load +* stallGuard2™ sensorless load detection +* coolStep™ load dependent current control +* spreadCycle hysteresis PWM chopper +* microPlyer 16-to-256 μStep multiplier +* full protection and diagnostics + +This makes the TMC26X a bit harder to use than other stepper motors but much more versatile. +This library resolves all the complicated stuff so that you can use TMC26X straight away. +Furthermore, all the settings are implemented in high level interfaces so that configuring your +motor is a breeze. + +How to use +---------- + +Check out the Setup Guide here: +And the How To here:
