The Silent Step 3 Click Board™ is the complete integrated bipolar step motor driver solution, rich with many features that allow extremely smooth and silent operation of the connected motor while being able to provide up to 4A peak motor current and withstand up to 30V supply voltage. The specialized TMC2660 IC driver from Trinamic company far exceeds the capabilities of similar step motor drivers that are commonly used. Thereby, the Silent Step 3 Click Board™ is basically the “intelligence and power” between the main MCU, as a motion controller, and the two-phase stepper motor.
The device achieves outstanding performance with a wide range of various step motors, thanks to several technologies featured, such as stallGuard2™ - high precision sensorless motor load detection; spreadCycle™ - highly dynamic motor current control; microPlayer™ - microstep interpolation for increased smoothness with coarse step inputs, and many more.
