Overview

The STK672-120-E is a unipolar fixed-current chopper type 2-phase stepping motor driver hybrid IC. It features power MOSFETs in the output stage and a built-in phase signal distribution IC. The incorporation of a phase distribution IC allows the STK672-120-E to control the speed of the motor based on the frequency of an external input clock signal. It supports two types of excitation for motor control: 2-phase excitation and 1-2 phase excitation. It also provides a function for switching the motor direction.

特性 Features

? The motor speed can be controlled by the frequency of an external clock signal (the CLOCK pin signal).

? The excitation type is switched according to the state (low or high) of the MODE pin. The mode is set to 2-phase or 1-2 phase excitation on the rising edge of the clock signal.

? A motor direction switching pin (the CWB pin) is provided.

? All inputs are schmitt inputs and 40kΩ (typical: –50 to +100) pull-up resistors are built in.

? The motor current can be set by changing the Vref pin voltage. Since a 0.165Ω current detection resistor is built in, a current of 1A is set for each 0.165V of applied voltage.

? The input frequency range for the clock signal used for motor speed control is 0 to 25kHz.

? Supply voltage ranges: VCC = 10 to 42V, VDD = 5.0V ±5

? This IC supports motor operating currents of up to 2.4A at Tc = 105°C, and of up to 4.0A at Tc = 25°C.
