A previous article (Standard Step-Motor Driver Interface Limits Performance) on step-motors berated open-loop stepping and the desperate methods used to avoid missed steps and acceleration limitations ...

The L6470 dSPINT monolithic stepper motor controller IC provides a unique control system for true 1/128-step resolution. It includes a dual 0.28-Ω RDS(on) DMOS full bridge with all power switches ...

Not missing a beat: Here we take a look at why open-loop steppers lose steps, as well as some solutions to the problem. As in the below) half-stepping produces eight steps per electrical rotation — ...

Frequently, when it comes to step motor selection, users will select a motor with the highest holding torque rating, assuming that it will give them optimal performance. However, it is an improper ...
