This Click boardв„ў is a perfect solution for building various applications that require a precise and reliable stepper motor control, such as the movement control of beds, heads, and assemblies of various CNC plotting, milling, and 3D printer designs.ДЄ4988, a micro-stepping driver IC with a translator, from Allegro Microsystems, LLC. Microstep resolution configuration Step size:

The logic section and the reference voltage pin of the IC are powered via the 3.3V mikroBUSв„ў rail. The stepper motor can be connected via the CN2 and CN3 screw terminals, with their input terminals labeled as 1A, 1B, and 2A, 2B. The terminal labeled as CN1 on the schematic is used to connect the external power supply, which should stay in the range from 8V to 35V. The Click boardв„ў is equipped with the input and output screw terminals. The #ENABLE pin is routed to the AN (labeled as EN), while the #RESET pin is routed to the RST pin of the mikroBUSв„ў, allowing the host MCU to control the IC via these pins. The #RESET pin is used to set DACs and the phase current polarity to the initial Home state. Asserting this pin to a LOW logic level enables the output stage.

The #ENABLE pin allows the host MCU to enable or disable the output stage MOSFETs of the A4988 IC. After the wake-up event (logic HIGH on the SLEEP pin), at least 1ms of delay is required until the charge pump capacitors are recharged, allowing normal operation of the output stage drivers. This will power down the unused sections of the A4988 IC, reducing power consumption to a minimum. This device supports the Sleep mode, which is activated by a LOW logic level on the SLEEP pin. MS1, MS2, and MS3 pins are routed to the SMD jumpers labeled as STEP MODE (J1, J2, and J3), allowing step size to be selected by moving each of them according to the truth table below.

It is possible to work with five-movement step sizes, ranging from full step size up to sixteenth step size. The step size is determined by three pins: MS1, M2, and MS3. The direction of the rotation is controlled by the logic state on the DIR pin (routed to the mikroBUSв„ў INT pin, labeled as DIR). Absolute current limit on this IC is 2.1A, after which the overcurrent protection is activated.ДЄ LOW to HIGH transition on the STEP pin of the A4988 IC will perform one rotational step. The current is limited by the sensing resistor to about 1.6A (for a reference voltage of 3.3V). The current regulator uses an internal comparator, DA converter (DAC), and external sensing resistor. By controlling the current intensity and its decay throughout the rotation cycle, a constant torque is achieved for every position.

This section controls the output drivers, providing smooth action of the stepper motor. This is a highly integrated IC, which offers a very simple bipolar stepper motor control interface, thanks to the integrated translator section. Stepper click uses the A4988, a micro-stepping driver IC with a translator and overcurrent protection, from Allegro Microsystems. Due to simplicity of the step motor control, as well as the selection of various stepping modes offered by this Click boardв„ў, it is a perfect solution for building various applications that require precise and reliable stepper motor control, such as the movement control of beds, heads, and assemblies of various CNC plotting, milling and 3D printer designs. With its input voltage range up to 35V, it can drive a wide range of stepper motors with up to 2A max. In addition, the output current is regulated allowing for noiseless operation of the stepper motor, with no resonance and ringing typically observed at unregulated stepper driver designs.ДЄdditional features of the Stepper click include under-voltage, shoot-through, short circuit, overcurrent and thermal protection, so the Click boardв„ў can operate reliably. This IC has the integrated translator section, used to simplify the control: using simple step control inputs from the host MCU, the stepper motor can be driven in both directions, with the predetermined step sizes.
