Leveraging Interactive Reference Designs
Jumping into a new PCB design can be intimidating – especially if you are starting a brand new design and using new devices. Having a working sample to demonstrate how the components function and are connected within the design can give you a valuable head start. This is where reference designs come in! What […]
System Design Using the TMC5160-BOB Evaluation Board
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band, Rush, has a popular song with the lines, “living in their pools they soon forget about the sea.” The song, “Natural Science”, points out how the big picture is obsolete to those blindly focused only on what is immediately in front of them.
The TMC4671-EVAL: A Motor Controller & Driver Power Management Evaluation Board
Most circuit board designs can be considered custom, as most board development begins with the objective of solving a new problem or an old problem with a different set of performance criteria. In either case, the resulting board must go through the design⇒build⇒test (DBT) iterative process to produce a high-quality prototype or production level PCBA.
The TMC2130 vs. the TMC2208: A Comparison of Two-Phase Bipolar Stepper Motor Drivers
Sometimes, there is a perception that a motor can just be connected to any old power supply and it can be regulated by adjusting the voltage. This might be fine for a simple brushed motor, but more advanced units like stepper motors and servo motors need a driver IC to provide the necessary power and […]
Selecting a Highly Efficient, Dual Full-Bridge MOSFET Driver
Motor control solutions can be intimidating for new designers, but they have surprisingly simple topology and driving mechanisms.
