ESCRIPTION
The TMC5130-EVAL is designed for evaluating all features
of the TMC5130A-TA. The evaluation board is part of
TRINAMICs new user-friendly plug-in system for chip
evaluation.
Just
connect
STARTRAMPE, the associated base board. Therefore, use
the dedicated connector board, called ESELSBRÜCKE.
ESELSBRÜCKE offers test points for every connector pin.

  • Page 2 TMC5130-EVAL Manual / Firmware V1.00 (Rev. 0.92 / 2014-DEC-04) preliminary TRINAMIC NIQUE EATURES stallGuard2™ stallGuard2 is a high-precision sensorless load measurement using the back EMF on the coils. It can be used for stall detection as well as other uses at loads below those which stall the motor.
  • Page 3 Order Codes The TMC5130-EVAL is a controller/driver board. It is part of the TRINAMICs evaluation board system. To have a complete operational system, the evaluation board needs to be connected to a baseboard with included microcontroller called STARTRAMPE. Therefore, use ESELSBRÜCKE, a special connector board with test points.
