Pocatello, Idaho&#8212AMI Semiconductor says itsAMIS-30621 and -30622 stepper motor controller ICs for automotive applications are the industry's smallest. In a micro leadframe package, these chips ...

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 ...

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, ...

Precision movement and positioning systems used in industries such as automated manufacturing using the advanced single-chip digital motion controllers announced by STMicroelectronics. Precision ...

3D scanners aren’t cheap, and the last thing you want to see after purchasing one is bad data. But that’s what [Dave Does] and others were getting from their Revopoint POP scanners until some communal ...

An improved stepper motor driver IC, which offers 50% lower on-resistance, lets engineers increase the power rating of their designs while reducing waste heat. The TB67S559FTG 50-V/3.0-A stepper motor ...

TRINAMIC Motion Control's new TMC2660 stepper motor driver IC supports motor drive currents up to 4A. The new IC integrates both a pre-driver for real-time calculation of motor coil current values, ...
