  • Page 4: Features

    4/23 1 Features The TMCM-302 is a triple axis stepper motor controller module for external power drivers with step / direction interface. With its very small size it is dedicated to embedded applications, where centralized or de-centralized high power drivers are desired. The board can be connected to a baseboard or customized electronics with a pin connector.

  • Page 12: Step-/Direction Output

    12/23 5.4 Step-/Direction output The TMCM-302 generates step- and direction output signals, which are pre-conditioned in order to directly be connected to microstep driver units with 5V inputs. See Figure 5.5 for the output timing. Some driver units might require inverters / level shifters in order to adapt step polarity and voltage.
