Motion Control IC Implements Trapezoidal Acceleration Profile

Aug. 21, 2013
A new single-axis motion control IC aims to simplify high-level motion commands.

The TMC4210 implements a trapezoidal acceleration profile, reducing the device’s complexity and cost while delivering a high performance. The single-axis motion control IC performs real-time position and velocity stepper motor calculations, relieving a host microcontroller from the software design complexity required to implement a motor control system. Announced by TRINAMIC Motion Control, the TMC4210 is compatible with a wide selection of motor drivers that use an S/D (step/direction) interface. A host can control the chip using the SPI interface to send high-level motion commands that are translated into a series of specific micro-step and direction instructions.
