Overview
The L6470PDTR, produced by STMicroelectronics, is an advanced fully integrated microstepping motor driver designed for driving two-phase bipolar stepper motors. Realized in analog mixed signal technology, this device integrates a dual low RDS(on) DMOS full bridge, equipped with accurate on-chip current sensing circuitry for non-dissipative current control and overcurrent protection. It features a unique control system that achieves a true 1/128 steps resolution and allows for user-defined motion profiles with acceleration, deceleration, speed, or target position, all programmable through a dedicated set of registers via a standard 5-Mbit/s SPI interface.
