Trinamic – Single Axis Stepper Motor Modules

Highly integrated and energy-efficient, these single-axis stepper motor modules feature ADI Trinamic’s cDriver™ ICs for demanding tasks. Just like the multi-axis boards, the single-axis cDriver modules for stepper motors keep the system’s communication traffic low by processing real-time critical functions themselves.

Ready for Connectivity
A motor drive system consists of several functional building blocks. The motion controller receives commands over a selected interface, in a defined protocol. The commands are translated into signals for the motor control and driver part. For this transformation of digital information into perfect physical motion, ADI Trinamic™ products cover a wide range of interfaces and protocols.

We Transform Digital Information into Physical Motion
Transforming digital information into physical motion is not as simple as just translating data into movement. Motion control technology must be flexible to support evolving device capabilities, efficient to satisfy space constraints of shrinking footprints, and of course, easy to implement, whether it’s driving advanced robotics and automation, battery-powered medical devices, IoT, or any other application. ADI Trinamic™ motion control technology elevates essential motor characteristics into competitive advantages by transforming digital information into perfect physical motion.

Optimizing for Silent, Perfect Stepper Motor Control
Stepper motors are actuated by sending an electrical current through the system. This electrical current, however, has to be chopped in such a way that the motor behaves as desired. A constant off-time PWM chopper is the classic way to drive a stepper motor but introduces noise and vibration to the mechanical system. Over the years, ADI Trinamic™ technology has perfected chopper modes resulting in silent, perfect motor control.
