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 ...

The primary feature of stepper motors is listed right within their name: their ability to ‘step’ forwards and backwards, something which they (ideally) can do perfectly in sync with the input provided ...

Alllegro MicroSystems, LLC rolled out a new 40 V motor driver IC capable of driving one stepper motor and one DC motor. The stepper driver outputs are rated up to 1.6 A and the DC driver at 3.2 A.

Even veteran engineers often suffer from a lot of misconceptions about stepper motors and how to drive them. This article will focus on clearing up just a few of these misunderstandings so that ...

When it’s time to specify a high-performance motor that offers both precise positioning and cost efficiency, stepper motors offer many advantages over DC motors thanks to their brushless technology.

Allegro MicroSystems has unveiled a 40 V motor driver IC capable of driving one stepper motor and one DC motor. The bipolar stepper driver outputs are rated up to 1.6 A and the high current DC driver ...
