Mouser Electronics is newly supplying Analog Devices Inc. (ADI)’s TMC2241 smart integrated stepper driver. This product is a high-voltage stepper driver IC that supports step and direction control and a serial communication interface, and can be applied in a wide range of fields from industrial automation to security equipment.

Mouser announced on the 30th that it has started supplying ADI's TMC2241.

The TMC2241 supports a variety of applications, including sewing and knitting machines, laboratory and factory automation, office automation and paper handling, CCTV and security equipment, and pump and valve control.

The TMC2241 supports up to 256 divided microsteps and incorporates two fully integrated H-bridges capable of handling up to 65V·3A and a lossless integrated current sensing IC.

ADI explained that it achieves silent operation and optimal motor torque by equipping it with ADI's StealthChop2 chopper.

StealthChop 2 automatically sets the optimal settings upon first startup.It is reported that the system integration process is simplified by learning and continuously optimizing in subsequent operations.

TMC2241 stated that it can achieve up to 75% energy savings through the CoolStep current control function.

In addition, it provides passive braking, freewheeling mode, motor phase temperature prediction, and chip temperature measurement functions.

The package is a 5mm × 7mm TQFN38 standard, making it suitable for small applications.

The included TMC2241-EVKIT evaluation kit integrates with ADI's TMCL-IDE (Trinamic Motion Control Language Integrated Development Environment) to support parameter setting, real-time data visualization, and standalone application development and debugging functions.
