Embedded solutions specialist MIKROE has expanded its range of motor control boards with the launch of Stepper 28 Click, a compact add-on development board offering precise control for 2-phase bipolar stepper motors.
The new board incorporates Toshiba Semiconductor’s TB67S559FTG, a BiCD constant-current 2-phase bipolar stepping motor driver capable of delivering up to 2.7A output current at supply voltages from 8.2V to 44V. It joins MIKROE’s family of more than 50 stepper motor Click boards and is the latest addition to the firm’s 1,900-strong mikroBUS-enabled portfolio.
Designed for applications such as printers, scanners, vending machines, and point-of-sale equipment, the Stepper 28 Click board integrates DMOSFET output transistors with low ON resistance, as well as technologies including Advanced Current Detect System (ACDS) for resistor-less current sensing and Advanced Dynamic Mixed Decay (ADMD) for improved current regulation. The board supports resolutions from full-step to 1/32-step, enabling smoother motion and reduced noise, and includes multiple anomaly detection features.
“Click boards allow engineers to begin development immediately, without the need for proprietary tools or costly development kits,” said Nebojsa Matic, Chief Executive of MIKROE. “Stepper 28 Click is ideal for driving motors in office equipment, PoS systems, vending machines, and even surveillance cameras requiring precise pan-tilt control.”
Like all Click boards, Stepper 28 Click is fully compatible with the mikroBUS standard, allowing it to interface seamlessly with any host system that supports the modular connector. It is supplied with open-source mikroSDK libraries, offering extensive flexibility for testing and customisation.
