AMIS-30421
Micro-Stepping Stepper
Motor Bridge Controller
Introduction The AMIS−30421 is a micro-stepping stepper motor bridge
controller for large current range bipolar applications. The chip interfaces via a SPI interface with an external controller in order to control 2 external power NMOS H−bridges. It has an on-chip voltage regulator, current sensing, self adapting PWM controller and pre-driver with smart slope control switching allowing the part to be EMC compliant with industrial and automotive applications. It uses a proprietary PWM algorithm for reliable current control.
The AMIS−30421 contains a current translation table and takes the next micro-step depending on the clock signal on the “NXT” input pin and the status of the “DIR” (direction) register or input pin.
