Authorized Distributor of Leadshine Technology
1. Introduction, Features and Applications
Introduction
The ME542 is an economical microstepping driver based on patented technology of Leadshine. It
is suitable for driving 2-phase and 4-phase hybrid stepping motors. By using the advanced bipolar
constant-current chopping technique, it can output more speed and torque from the same motor,
compared with traditional drivers, such as L/R drivers. Its 3-state current control technology
allows coil currents to be well controlled and with relatively small current ripple, therefore less
motor heating is achieved.
Features
l Low cost and good high-speed torque
l Supply voltage up to +50VDC
l Output current up to 4.2A
l Optically isolated input signals
l Pulse frequency up to 300 KHz
l Automatic idle-current reduction
l 3-state current control technology
Applications
Suitable for a wide range of stepping motors from Nema size 17 to 34. It can be used in various kinds
of machines, such as X-Y tables, labeling machines, laser cutters, engraving machines, pick-place
devices, and so on. Particularly adapt to the applications desired with low vibration, high speed and
high precision.
