●The TMC236B is a dual full bridge driver IC for bipolar stepper motor control applications. It is realized in a HVCMOS technology combined with Low-RDS-ON high efficiency MOSFETs (pat. pend.). It allows driving a coil current of up to 1500mA even at high environment temperatures. Its low current consumption and high efficiency together with the miniature package make it a perfect solution for embedded motion control and for battery powered devices. The low power dissipation makes the TMC236 an optimum choice for drives, where a high reliability is desired. Internal DACs allow microstepping as well as smart current control. The device can be controlled by a serial interface (SPI™i) or by analog / digital input signals. Short circuit, temperature, undervoltage and overvoltage protection are integrated.
