TRINAMIC TMC428 DATASHEET Intelligent Triple Stepper Motor Controller with Serial Peripheral Interfaces
TMC428 is a three-phase stepper motor controller that controls three 2-phase stepper motors. It can select a 6-bit micro-step resolution based on target positions and velocities and can operate independently without a microcontroller
TRINAMIC - TMC222 DATASHEET (V. 1.06 March 15 2007) Manual
The TMC222 is a combined micro-stepping stepper motor motion controller and driver with RAM and OTP memory. The RAM or OTP memory is used to store motor parameters and configuration settings. The TMC222 allows up to four bit of micro stepping and a coil current of up to 800 mA. After initialization it performs all time critical tasks autonomously based on target positions and velocity parameters. Communications to a host takes place via a two wire serial interface. Together with an inexpensive micro controller the TMC222 forms a complete motion control system.

Questions answered in Trinamic manuals
What is the maximum supply voltage for the TMC262‑EVAL board?
With the original MOSFETs the board supports up to 40 V, and it can be raised to 60 V when the MOSFETs are replaced with 60 V types.
How can I adjust the motor current on the evaluation board?
Motor current is set via the on‑board sense resistors and a jumper, allowing selections of up to 1 A, 2 A, or 4 A, and can be fine‑tuned by changing the sense resistor value.
What is the maximum coil current supported by the TMC5160?
The TMC5160 can drive up to 20 A of coil current.
Which communication interfaces does the TMC5160 provide?
It supports an SPI interface and a single‑wire UART interface, and also a simple STEP/DIR mode.
What supply voltage does the TMCM-1043 accept?
It accepts nominal supply voltages of 12 V to 24 V DC, with a maximum of 28 V DC.
What safety precaution should be taken when connecting or disconnecting the motor?
Never connect or disconnect the motor while the board is powered; always disconnect the power supply first.
