Part details & applications

The TMC2160 is a high-power stepper motor gate driver IC with SPI interface. It features industries’ most advanced stepper motor driver with simple Step/Dir interface.

Using external transistors, highly dynamic, high torque drives can be realized. Based on ADI Trinamic's sophisticated SpreadCycle™ and StealthChop™ choppers, the driver ensures absolutely noiseless operation combined with maximum efficiency and best motor torque. High integration, high energy efficiency and a small form factor enable miniaturized and scalable systems for cost effective solutions.

The fully compatible TMC5160 offers an additional motion controller to make stepper motor control even easier.
