TMC2160/TMC2160A-TA-T is a high-power stepper motor driver IC with SPI interface. It adopts the most advanced stepper motor driver in the industry and has a simple stepper/directional interface. By using external transistors, high dynamic and high torque driving can be achieved. Based on TRINAMIC's precision SpreadCycle and StealthChop choppers, the driver ensures absolute noise free operation with maximum efficiency and optimal motor torque. High integration, high energy efficiency, and small size make the system miniaturized and scalable, thus achieving cost-effective solutions. The fully compatible TMC5160 provides an additional motion controller, making stepper motor control easier.
The TMC2160 adopts advanced motor commutation algorithm, combined with powerful external MOSFET driver stage and high-quality current regulation. It has versatility and covers a wide range of applications, from efficient systems powered by batteries to embedded applications with a motor current of 20A per coil. Based on TRINAMIC's unique features of StallGuard2, CoolStep, DcStep, SpreadCycle, and StealthChop, the TMC2160 optimizes driver performance. It balances speed and motor torque, optimizing energy efficiency, driving smoothness, and noise free performance. The small size of TMC2160 reduces costs and allows for miniaturized layout. Providing extensive support at the chip, circuit board, and software levels enables fast design cycles and rapid market launch, making competitive products competitive. High energy efficiency and reliability can save costs on related systems such as power and cooling. For smaller designs, the compatible integrated TMC2130 driver can provide a motor current of 1.4A.
