Precise microstepping Click board from Mikroe suits robotics, medical and more
Power Step 2 Click is a compact add-on board for precise motion control applications. A new member of the mikroBUS-enabled Click board family from Mikroe, the embedded solutions company that dramatically cuts development time by providing innovative hardware and software products based on proven standards, Power Step 2 Click is a compact add-on board for precise motion control applications. It is based on the powerSTEP01, a powerful 1/128 microstepping controller from STMicroelectronics, that integrates eight N-channel MOSFETs with ultra-low RDS(on).
Power Step 2 Click board operates at voltages up to 85V, delivering up to 10A RMS output current while supporting both voltage mode driving and advanced current control. It features a high-speed 5MHz SPI interface, multiple safety protections, and additional control pins for enhanced functionality, including step clock input and motor initialisation. The board also provides LED indicators for quick status monitoring and supports external clock synchronisation.
Power Step 2 Click is fully compatible with the mikroBUS socket and can be used on any host system supporting the mikroBUS standard. It comes with the mikroSDK open-source libraries, offering flexibility for evaluation and customisation. This latest Click board also features the ClickID function which simplifies use by enabling the host system to seamlessly and automatically detect and identify this add-on board.
