Stepper Motor Driver Schematic
Operating a stepper
motor using a fixed (constant) voltage supply results in poor torque at
high speeds. In fact, stepper motors tend to stall at fairly low speeds
under such conditions. Several approaches can be used to overcome this
problem, one of which is to use a constant current supply in place of
the more conventional constant voltage supply. A disadvantage of many
constant current supplies is that simple circuits are inefficient but
that doesn’t apply to switchmode supplies such as the circuit shown
here.
This breakout board for Allegro’s A4988 microstepping bipolar stepper motor driver features adjustable current limiting, over-current and over-temperature protection, and five different microstep resolutions (down to 1/16-step). It operates from 8 V to 35 V and can deliver up to approximately 1 A per phase without a heat sink or forced air flow (it is rated for 2 A per coil with sufficient. TB6600 arduino Stepper Motor Driver is an easy-to-use professional stepper motor driver, which could control a two-phase stepping motor. It is compatible with Arduino and other microcontrollers that can output a 5V digital pulse signal. TB6600 arduino stepper motor driver has a wide range power input, 942VDC power supply. And it is able to. It is important to ensure that power drawn by the stepper motor is within the power handling capability of the driver transistors T1 to T4. Diodes D1 to D4 are necessary to conduct away the back-EMF produced each time a drive impulse to each of the motor coils is switched off.

Stepper Motor Drive Circuit The UC3717A is an improved version of the UC3717, used to switch drive the current in one winding of a bipolar stepper motor. The UC3717A has been modified to supply higher winding current, more reliable thermal protection, and improved efficiency by providing inte.
Basically, this circuit is a conventional switchmode regulator
adapted for constant current output and is specially designed for
stepper motor drivers – although it could be used for other applications
as well. The circuit works as follows: IC1 (LM2575T) and its associated
components (D1, L1, C1, etc) operate as a switchmode power supply.
Normally, for constant voltage operation, the output is connected –
either directly or via a resistive divider – back to the feedback input
(pin 4) of IC1.

In this circuit, however, Q1 senses the current flowing through R1 and
produces a corresponding voltage across R3. This voltage is then fed to
pin 4 of IC1. As a result, the the circuit regulates the current into a
load rather than the voltage across the load. Only one adjustment is
needed: you have to adjust VR1 for optimum stepper motor performance
over the desired speed range. The simplest way to do this is to measure
the motor current at its rated voltage at zero stepping speed and then
adjust VR1 for this current. The prototype worked well with a stepper
motor rated at 80O per winding and a 12V nominal input voltage. Some
components might have to be modified for motors having different
characteristics.
