With a best-in-class portfolio supported by a rich development ecosystem, ST makes prototyping your motor control solution fast and simple   Watch Now

Watch the on-demand webinar to discover a portfolio of high-performance motor control devices for stepper motors, and how to use our complete ecosystem of tools and resources to get your motor spinning quickly and efficiently.

We start the session with the theory of operation and use-cases for stepper motors, progressing to a discussion on stepper motor solutions in the STSPIN family of motor control ICs.

The STSPIN portfolio consists of motor drivers available in a large selection of space-saving, thermally-enhanced packages, providing a ready-to-use, optimized solution for motor and motion control systems over a wide range of voltage and current ratings. Included in the portfolio is the powerful powerSTEP01 system-in-package, integrating both the control circuitry and a complete power stage (8 N-channel 16 mΩ MOSFETs) in a QFN package for compact, high-power stepper motor applications (85 V and 10 A).

The STSPIN family comes with extensive, low-cost evaluation hardware and software as well as a technical documentation toolbox to help minimize time-to-market. We will help you navigate this ecosystem and show you how to use it to fast-prototype your stepper motor design.

You will learn:

• What a stepper motor is and where it is used
• About ST’s portfolio of stepper motor controllers
• The ecosystem of development boards, application notes and GUIs available to get your stepper motor spinning quickly
• Challenges of stepper motor control
