When you think about highly-precise actuators, stepper motors probably aren’t the first device that comes to mind. However, as [Diffraction Limited]’s sub-micron capable micro-manipulator shows, they ...
Based on the Motorola (now Freescale) heavily used but obsolete SAA1042 stepper-motor-driver IC, this Design Idea describes a CPLD (complex-programmable-logic-device)-based implementation of a stepper ...
The DRV8846 is a 1.4 A bipolar stepper motor driver with on-chip microstepping indexer (Step/Dir Ctrl). This device is intended for cameras, printers, projectors, and other automated equipment ...
