Analog Devices Inc. TMC5262-EVKIT Evaluation Kit
Analog Devices TMC5262-EVKIT Evaluation Kit is part of the TRINAMIC evaluation board system. The boards included in this kit, in combination with the TMCL-IDE, enable an uncomplicated initial evaluation of the TMC5262 smart stepper motor controller/driver integrated circuits (ICs) while providing full control of all features. The ADI TMC5262-EVAL features one power and one motor connector, three pin headers, and some unpopulated THM test points.
The TMC5262 ICs are miniaturized, high-power, single-axis devices with SPI and extensive diagnostic capabilities. High integration, high energy efficiency, and a small form factor enable miniaturized, scalable, and cost-effective motor drive solutions perfectly suited for Nema 17, Nema 23, and Nema 24 steppers. Packaged in a compact, near-chip-scale, thermally optimized 30-pin 6mm x 6mm FCQFN, the TMC5262 ICs feature abundant diagnostics and a full set of protection features.
