MC1241A

Advanced Microstepping Motion Control Chipset Features Internal generation of microstepping signals 2-phase as well as 3-phase stepper motors 64 microsteps per full step S-curve, trapezoidal, and velocity profile trajectory modes Incremental encoder feedback On-the-fly motor stall detection Software & feature compatible with other versions of PMD's chipset family Available in 1 or 2 axis configurations 32-bit position, velocity, acceleration and jerk trajectory profile registers Electronic Gearing Two travel-limit switches per axis Choice of PWM or DAC motor output signals Chipset Developer's Kit Available MC1241A MC1141A General Description The MC1241A is a dedicated motion processor which functions as a complete chip-based stepper motor controller. Packaged in a 2-IC chipset, this device performs trajectory profile generation and microstepping signal generation. The chipset outputs PWM or DAC-compatible motor command signals which directly drive the windings of the stepping motor, eliminating the need for external microstepping circuitry. The MC1241A also provides the ability to input incremental encoder signals. It is available in a one, or a two-axis configuration. The MC1241A is functionally similar to other members of PMD's 1st Generation Motion Processor Family however it adds the ability to perform micrstepping signal generation. All of these devices provide sophisticated trajectory generation allowing the creation of complex motion sequences. Both two and three-pha...
