TMC5160 Motor Driver Module

This stepper motor driver module can be used separately or in combination with a CNC shield or 3D printer.
This stepper motor driver is intended for motors with a higher power and amperage, suitable for, among other things, NEMA17 and NEMA23.

Specifications:

• Voltage range (VM): 10-35V
• Voltage range (VIO): 3.3-5V
• Maximum current: 3.0A per phase (continuous, with cooling)
• Works with 3.3V and 5V signals
• Current limit that can be set with the potentiometer
• Supports up to 1/256-step
• Supported configuration via CFG pins or SPI
• VRef to adjust via software
• Has StealthChop2™ technology for quieter stepper motors
• Has SpreadCycle TREADADE technology for smoother movements
• Has CoolStep™ technology for energy saving up to 75% compared to previous generations
• Has StallGuard™ technology for load detection and sensorless homing
• Has DCStep™ technology for load-dependent speed control
• Protection built in for high temperatures, high currents, low voltage (UVLO) and short-circuit
• Comes with cooling block for better cooling (cooling block must be placed on the side without components! )
• Pin names are listed on the top of the module

For more information, see the TMC5160 chip datasheet.

Note: The motor direction is reversed relative to the A4988 and DRV8825 based drivers. You can make changes to the software or mirror the motor pins (for hardware purposes).
