Descrizione
The TMC2208 is a high-performance stepper motor driver IC that provides silent, smooth and precise motion control for 3D printers, CNC machines, and other applications that require precise positioning. It is designed to work with a variety of microcontrollers and supports multiple communication interfaces, including UART, SPI, and Step/Dir.
One of the key features of the TMC2208 is its stealthChop2 technology, which allows for almost completely silent operation at low speeds. This is achieved by adjusting the current supplied to the motor in real-time based on the motor's velocity, reducing vibration and noise.
The TMC2208 also supports spreadCycle, a technology that provides precise and smooth motor control by automatically adjusting the current supplied to the motor based on the load. This helps to prevent step loss and ensures that the motor operates with high accuracy and reliability.
Other features of the TMC2208 include over-temperature and over-current protection, as well as support for up to 256 microsteps per step. It can operate with a wide range of input voltages, from 4.75V to 36V, making it compatible with a wide range of stepper motors.
Overall, the TMC2208 is a powerful and versatile stepper motor driver that offers advanced features and reliable performance, making it an excellent choice for a variety of motion control applications.
