Two-levels of overtemperature protection
The L6470 device, realized in analog mixed
signal technology, is an advanced fully integrated
solution suitable for driving two-phase bipolar
stepper motors with microstepping. It integrates
a dual low RDS(on) DMOS full bridge with all of the
power switches equipped with an accurate onchip current sensing circuitry suitable for nondissipative current control and overcurrent
protection. Thanks to a unique control system,
a true 1/128 steps resolution is achieved. The
digital control core can generate user defined
motion profiles with acceleration, deceleration,
speed or target position, easily programmed
through a dedicated registers set. All commands
and data registers, including those used to set
analogue values (i.e. current control value,
current protection trip point, deadtime, PWM
frequency, etc.) are sent through a standard
5-Mbit/s SPI. A very rich set of protections
(thermal, low bus voltage, overcurrent, motor
stall) allows the design of a fully protected
application, as required by the most demanding
motor control applications.

Device power-up
At power-up end, the device state is the following:
Registers are set to default
Internal logic is driven by internal oscillator and a 2 MHz clock is provided by the
OSCOUT pin
Bridges are disabled (High Z)
UVLO bit in the STATUS register is forced low (fail condition)
FLAG output is forced low.
During power-up, the device is under reset (all logic IOs disabled and power bridges in high
impedance state) until the following conditions are satisfied:
VS is greater than VSthOn
VREG is greater than VREGth = 2.8 V typical
Internal oscillator is operative.
Any motion command makes the device exit from High Z state (HardStop and SoftStop
included).
6.2
Logic I/O
Pins CS, CK, SDI, STCK, SW and STBY\RST are TTL/CMOS 3.3 V - 5 V compatible logic
inputs.
Pin SDO is a TTL/CMOS compatible logic output. VDD pin voltage sets the logic output pin
voltage range; when it is connected to VREG or 3.3 V external supply voltage, the output is
3.3 V compatible. When VDD is connected to a 5 V supply voltage, SDO is 5 V compatible.
VDD is not internally connected to VREG, an external connection is always needed.
A 10 µF capacitor should be connected to the VDD pin in order to obtain a proper operation.
Pins FLAG and BUSY\SYNC are open drain outputs.
6.3
Charge pump
To ensure the correct driving of the high-side integrated MOSFETs, a voltage higher than
the motor power supply voltage needs to be applied to the VBOOT pin. The high-side gate
driver supply voltage, Vboot, is obtained through an oscillator and a few external components
realizing a charge pump (see Figure 5).

Microstepping
The driver is able to divide the single step into up to 128 microsteps. Stepping mode can be
programmed by the STEP_SEL parameter in the STEP_MODE register (see Table 18 on
page 48).
Step mode can only be changed when bridges are disabled. Every time the step mode is
changed the electrical position (i.e. the point of microstepping sinewave that is generated) is
reset to zero and the absolute position counter value (see Section 6.5) becomes
meaningless.

Automatic full-step mode
When motor speed is greater than a programmable full-step speed threshold, the L6470
device switches automatically to Full-step mode (see Figure 7); the driving mode returns to
microstepping when motor speed decreases below the full-step speed threshold. The fullstep speed threshold is set through the FS_SPD register (see Section 9.1.9 on page 44).

Absolute position counter
An internal 22-bit register (ABS_POS) records the motor motion according to the selected
step mode; the stored value unit is equal to the selected step mode (full, half, quarter, etc.).
The position range is from -221to +221-1 (µ)steps (see Section 9.1.1 on page 41).
6.6
Programmable speed profiles
The user can easily program a customized speed profile defining independently
acceleration, deceleration, maximum and minimum speed values by the ACC, DEC,
MAX_SPEED and MIN_SPEED registers respectively (see Section 9.1.5 on page 42,
Section 9.1.6 on page 43, Section 9.1.7 on page 43 and Section 9.1.8 on page 43).
When a command is sent to the device, the integrated logic generates the microstep
frequency profile that performs a motor motion compliant to speed profile boundaries.
All acceleration parameters are expressed in step/tick2 and all speed parameters are
expressed in step/tick; the unit of measurement does not depend on the selected step
mode. Acceleration and deceleration parameters range from 2-40 to (212 - 2) 2-40 step/tick2
(equivalent to 14.55 to 59590 step/s2).
The minimum speed parameter ranges from 0 to (212-1) 2-24 step/tick (equivalent to 0 to
976.3 step/s).
The maximum speed parameter ranges from 2-18 to (210 - 1) 2-18 step/tick (equivalent to
15.25 to 15610 step/s).

Motor control commands
The L6470 device can accept different types of commands:
constant speed commands (Run, GoUntil, ReleaseSW)
absolute positioning commands (GoTo, GoTo_DIR, GoHome, GoMark)
motion commands (Move)
stop commands (SoftStop, HardStop, SoftHiz, HardHiz).
For detailed command descriptions refer to Section 9.2 on page 56.
6.7.1
Constant speed commands
A constant speed command produces a motion in order to reach and maintain a userdefined target speed starting from the programmed minimum speed (set in the MIN_SPEED
register) and with the programmed acceleration/deceleration value (set in the ACC and DEC
registers). A new constant speed command can be requested anytime.

Positioning commands
An absolute positioning command produces a motion in order to reach a user-defined
position that is sent to the device together with the command. The position can be reached
performing the minimum path (minimum physical distance) or forcing a direction (see
Figure 9).
The performed motor motion is compliant to programmed speed profile boundaries
(acceleration, deceleration, minimum and maximum speed).
Note that with some speed profiles or positioning commands, the deceleration phase can
start before the maximum speed is reached.

Stop commands
A stop command forces the motor to stop. Stop commands can be sent anytime.
The SoftStop command causes the motor to decelerate with programmed deceleration
value until the MIN_SPEED value is reached and then stops the motor keeping the rotor
position (a holding torque is applied).
The HardStop command stops the motor instantly, ignoring deceleration constraints and
keeping the rotor position (a holding torque is applied).
DocID16737 Rev 7

Functional description
L6470
The SoftHiZ command causes the motor to decelerate with programmed deceleration value
until the MIN_SPEED value is reached and then forces the bridges in high impedance state
(no holding torque is present).
The HardHiZ command instantly forces the bridges into high impedance state (no holding
torque is present).
6.7.5
Step-clock mode
In Step-clock mode the motor motion is defined by the step-clock signal applied to the STCK
pin. At each step-clock rising edge, the motor is moved one microstep in the programmed
direction and the absolute position is consequently updated.
When the system is in Step-clock mode, the SCK_MOD flag in the STATUS register is
raised, the SPEED register is set to zero and motor status is considered stopped whatever
the STCK signal frequency (MOT_STATUS parameter in STATUS register equal to “00”).

DocID16737 Rev 7
L6470
6.7.6
Functional description
GoUntil and ReleaseSW commands
In most applications the power-up position of the stepper motor is undefined, so an
initialization algorithm driving the motor to a known position is necessary.
The GoUntil and ReleaseSW commands can be used in combination with external switch
input (see Section 6.13 on page 31) to easily initialize the motor position.
The GoUntil command makes the motor run at the constant target speed until the SW input
is forced low (falling edge). When this event occurs, one of the following actions can be
performed:
The ABS_POS register is set to zero (home position) and the motor decelerates to zero
speed (as a SoftStop command)
The ABS_POS register value is stored in the MARK register and the motor decelerates
to zero speed (as a SoftStop command).
If the SW_MODE bit of the CONFIG register is set to ‘0’, the motor does not decelerate but
it immediately stops (as a HardStop command).
The ReleaseSW command makes the motor run at the programmed minimum speed until
the SW input is forced high (rising edge). When this event occurs, one of the following
actions can be performed:
The ABS_POS register is set to zero (home position) and the motor immediately stops
(as a HardStop command)
The ABS_POS register value is stored in the MARK register and the motor immediately
stops (as a HardStop command).
If the programmed minimum speed is less than 5 step/s, the motor is driven at 5 step/s.
6.8
Internal oscillator and oscillator driver
The control logic clock can be supplied by the internal 16-MHz oscillator, an external
oscillator (crystal or ceramic resonator) or a direct clock signal.
These working modes can be selected by EXT_CLK and OSC_SEL parameters in the
CONFIG register (see Table 23 on page 50).
At power-up the device starts using the internal oscillator and provides a 2-MHz clock signal
on the OSCOUT pin.
Attention: In any case, before changing clock source configuration,
a hardware reset is mandatory. Switching to different clock
configurations during operation may cause unexpected
behavior.
DocID16737 Rev 7

Functional description
6.8.1
L6470
Internal oscillator
In this mode the internal oscillator is activated and OSCIN is unused. If the OSCOUT clock
source is enabled, the OSCOUT pin provides a 2, 4, 8 or 16-MHz clock signal (according to
OSC_SEL value); it is otherwise unused (see Figure 11).
6.8.2
External clock source
Two types of external clock source can be selected: crystal/ceramic resonator or direct clock
source. Four programmable clock frequencies are available for each external clock source:
8, 16, 24 and 32 MHz.
When an external crystal/resonator is selected, the OSCIN and OSCOUT pins are used to
drive the crystal/resonator (see Figure 11). The crystal/resonator and load capacitors (CL)
must be placed as close as possible to the pins. Refer to Table 8 for the choice of load
capacitor values according to the external oscillator frequency.

6.9
Overcurrent detection
When the current in any of the Power MOSFETs exceeds a programmed overcurrent
threshold, the STATUS register OCD flag is forced low until the overcurrent event has
expired and a GetStatus command is sent to the IC (see Section 9.1.22 on page 55 and
Section 9.1.17 on page 47). The overcurrent event expires when all the Power MOSFET
currents fall below the programmed overcurrent threshold.
The overcurrent threshold can be programmed through the OCD_TH register in one of 16
available values ranging from 375 mA to 6 A with steps of 375 mA (see Table 9 on page 40,
Section 9.1.17).
It is possible to set whether an overcurrent event causes or not the MOSFET turn-off
(bridges in high impedance status) acting on the OC_SD bit in the CONFIG register (see
Section 9.1.21). The OCD flag in the STATUS register is raised anyway (see Table 34 on
page 55, Section 9.1.22).
When the IC outputs are turned off by an OCD event, they cannot be turned on until the
OCD flag is released by a GetStatus command.
DocID16737 Rev 7
29/73
73
Functional description
L6470
Attention: The overcurrent shutdown is a critical protection feature. It is
not recommended to disable it.
6.10
Undervoltage lockout (UVLO)
The L6470 device provides a motor supply UVLO protection. When the motor supply
voltage falls below the VSthOff threshold voltage, the STATUS register UVLO flag is forced
low. When a GetStatus command is sent to the IC, and the undervoltage condition has
expired, the UVLO flag is released (see Section 9.1.22 on page 55 and 9.2.20 on page 66).
The undervoltage condition expires when the motor supply voltage goes over the VSthOn
threshold voltage. When the device is in undervoltage condition, no motion command can
be performed. The UVLO flag is forced low by logic reset (power-up included) even if no
UVLO condition is present.
6.11
Thermal warning and thermal shutdown
An internal sensor allows the L6470 to detect when the device internal temperature exceeds
a thermal warning or an overtemperature threshold.
When the thermal warning threshold (Tj(WRN)) is reached, the TH_WRN bit in the STATUS
register is forced low (see Section 9.1.22) until the temperature decreases below Tj(WRN)
and a GetStatus command is sent to the IC (see Section 9.1.22 and 9.2.20).
When the thermal shutdown threshold (Tj(OFF)) is reached, the device goes into thermal
shutdown condition: the TH_SD bit in the STATUS register is forced low, the power bridges
are disabled bridges in high impedance state and the HiZ bit in the STATUS register is
raised (see Section 9.1.22).
The thermal shutdown condition only expires when the temperature goes below the thermal
warning threshold (Tj(WRN)).
On exiting thermal shutdown condition, the bridges are still disabled (HiZ flag high); any
motion command makes the device exit from High Z state (HardStop and SoftStop
included).
6.12
Reset and standby
The device can be reset and put into Standby mode through a dedicated pin. When the
STBY\RST pin is driven low, the bridges are left open (High Z state), the internal charge
pump is stopped, the SPI interface and control logic are disabled and the internal 3 V
voltage regulator maximum output current is reduced to IREG,STBY; as a result, the L6470
heavily reduces the power consumption. At the same time the register values are reset to
default and all protection functions are disabled. STBY\RST input must be forced low at
least for tSTBY,min in order to ensure the complete switch to Standby mode.
On exiting Standby mode, as well as for IC power-up, a delay of up to tlogicwu must be given
before applying a new command to allow proper oscillator and logic startup and a delay of
up to tcpwu must be given to allow the charge pump startup.
30/73
DocID16737 Rev 7
L6470
Functional description
On exiting Standby mode, the bridges are disabled (HiZ flag high) and any motion command
makes the device exit High Z state (HardStop and SoftStop included).
Attention: It is not recommended to reset the device when outputs are
active. The device should be switched to high impedance
state before being reset.
6.13
External switch (SW pin)
The SW input is internally pulled up to VDD and detects if the pin is open or connected to
ground (see Figure 12).
The SW_F bit of the STATUS register indicates if the switch is open (‘0’) or closed (‘1’) (see
Section 9.1.22 on page 55); the bit value is refreshed at every system clock cycle (125 ns).
The SW_EVN flag of the STATUS register is raised when a switch turn-on event (SW input
falling edge) is detected (see Section 9.1.22). A GetStatus command releases the SW_EVN
flag (see Section 9.2.20 on page 66).
By default, a switch turn-on event causes a HardStop interrupt (SW_MODE bit of CONFIG
register set to ‘0’). Otherwise (SW_MODE bit of CONFIG register set to ‘1’), switch input
events do not cause interrupts and the switch status information is at the user’s disposal
(see Table 34 on page 55, Section 9.1.22).
The switch input may be used by the GoUntil and ReleaseSW commands as described in
Section 9.2.10 on page 62 and 9.2.11 on page 63.
If the SW input is not used, it should be connected to VDD.

L6470
Integrated analog-to-digital converter
The L6470 device integrates an NADC bit ramp-compare analog-to-digital converter with
a reference voltage equal to VREG. The analog-to-digital converter input is available
through the ADCIN pin and the conversion result is available in the ADC_OUT register
(see Section 9.1.16 on page 46).
Sampling frequency is equal to the programmed PWM frequency.
The ADC_OUT value can be used for motor supply voltage compensation or can be at the
user’s disposal.
6.16
Internal voltage regulator
The L6470 integrates a voltage regulator which generates a 3 V voltage starting from the
motor power supply (VSA and VSB). In order to make the voltage regulator stable, at least
22 µF should be connected between the VREG pin and ground (suggested value is 47 µF).
The internal voltage regulator can be used to supply the VDD pin in order to make the
device digital output range 3.3 V compatible (Figure 13). A digital output range, 5 V
compatible, may be obtained connecting the VDD pin to an external 5 V voltage source. In
both cases, a 10 µF capacitance should be connected to the VDD pin in order to obtain
a correct operation.
The internal voltage regulator is able to supply a current up to IREG,MAX, internal logic
consumption included (Ilogic). When the device is in Standby mode, the maximum current
that can be supplied is IREG, STBY, internal consumption included (Ilogic, STBY).
If an external 3.3 V regulated voltage is available, it can be applied to the VREG pin in order
to supply all the internal logic and to avoid power dissipation of the internal 3 V voltage
regulator (Figure 13). The external voltage regulator should never sink current from the
VREG pin.

Functional description
BUSY operation mode
The pin works as busy signal when the SYNC_EN bit is set low (default condition). In this
mode the output is forced low while a constant speed, absolute positioning or motion
command is under execution. The BUSY pin is released when the command has been
executed (target speed or target position reached). The STATUS register includes a BUSY
flag that is the BUSY pin mirror (see Section 9.1.22 on page 55).
In the case of daisy chain configuration, BUSY pins of different ICs can be hard-wired to
save host controller GPIOs.
6.17.2
SYNC operation mode
The pin works as synchronization signal when the SYNC_EN bit is set high. In this mode
a step-clock signal is provided on the output according to a SYNC_SEL and STEP_SEL
parameter combination (see Section 9.1.19 on page 47).
6.18
FLAG pin
By default, an internal open drain transistor pulls the FLAG pin to ground when at least one
of the following conditions occurs:
Power-up or standby/reset exit
Stall detection on A bridge
Stall detection on B bridge
Overcurrent detection
Thermal warning
Thermal shutdown
UVLO
Switch turn-on event
Wrong command
Non-performable command.
It is possible to mask one or more alarm conditions by programming the ALARM_EN
register (see Section 9.1.20 on page 49, Table 21 on page 49). If the corresponding bit of
the ALARM_EN register is low, the alarm condition is masked and it does not cause a FLAG
pin transition; all other actions imposed by alarm conditions are performed anyway. In the
case of daisy chain configuration, FLAG pins of different ICs can be or-wired to save host
controller GPIOs.

Phase current control

L6470
Phase current control
The L6470 controls the phase current applying a sinusoidal voltage to motor windings.
Phase current amplitude is not directly controlled but depends on phase voltage amplitude,
load torque, motor electrical characteristics and rotation speed. Sinewave amplitude is
proportional to the motor supply voltage multiplied by a coefficient (KVAL). KVAL ranges from
0 to 100% and the sinewave amplitude can be obtained through the following formula:
Equation 1
V OUT = V S K VAL
Different KVAL values can be programmed for acceleration, deceleration and constant speed
phases and when the motor is stopped (HOLD phase) through the KVAL_ACC, KVAL_DEC,
KVAL_RUN and KVAL_HOLD registers (see Section 9.1.10 on page 44). KVAL value is
calculated according to the following formula:
Equation 2
K VAL = K VAL_X + BEMF_COMP VSCOMP K_THERM microstep
where KVAL_X is the starting KVAL value programmed for present motion phase (KVAL_ACC,
KVAL_DEC, KVAL_RUN or KVAL_HOLD), BEMF_COMP is the BEMF compensation curve
value, VSCOMP and K_THERM are the motor supply voltage and winding resistance
compensation factors and microstep is the current microstep value (fraction of target peak
current).
The L6470 device offers various methods to guarantee a stable current value, allowing the
compensation of:
7.1
low speed optimization (Section 7.3)
back electromotive force value (Section 7.4)
motor supply voltage variation (Section 7.5)
windings resistance variation (Section 7.6).
PWM sinewave generators
The two voltage sinewaves applied to the stepper motor phases are generated by two PWM
modulators.
The PWM frequency (fPWM) is proportional to the oscillator frequency (fOSC) and can be
obtained through the following formula:
Equation 3
f OSC
f PWM = ------------------ m
512 N
'N' is the integer division factor and 'm' is the multiplication factor. 'N' and 'm' values can be
programmed by the F_PWM_INT and F_PWM_DEC parameters in the CONFIG register
(see Table 28 on page 52 and Table 29 on page 52, Section 9.1.21 on page 49).
Available PWM frequencies are listed in Section 9.1.21 from Table 30 on page 53 to
Table 33 on page 54.

7.2
Phase current control
Sensorless stall detection
Depending on motor speed and load angle characteristics, the L6470 offers a motor stall
condition detection using a programmable current comparator.
When a stall event occurs, the respective flag (STEP_LOSS_A or STEP_LOSS_B) is forced
low until a GetStaus command or a system reset occurs (see Section 9.2.20 on page 66).
7.3
Low speed optimization
When the motor is driven at a very low speed using a small driving voltage, the resulting
phase current can be distorted. As a consequence, the motor position is different from the
ideal one (see Figure 14).
The L6470 device implements a low speed optimization in order to remove this effect.

The optimization can be enabled setting high the LSPD_OPT bit in the MIN_SPEED register
(see Section 9.1.8 on page 43) and is active in a speed range from zero to MIN_SPEED.
When low speed optimization is enabled, speed profile minimum speed is forced to zero.

BEMF compensation
Using the speed information, a compensation curve is added to the amplitude of the voltage
waveform applied to the motor winding in order to compensate the BEMF variations during
acceleration and deceleration (see Figure 15).
The compensation curve is approximated by a stacked line with a starting slope (ST_SLP)
when speed is lower than a programmable threshold speed (INT_SPEED) and a fine slope
(FN_SLP_ACC and FN_SLP_DEC) when speed is greater than the threshold speed (see
Section 9.1.11 on page 45, 9.1.12 on page 45, 9.1.13 on page 45 and Section 9.1.14 on
page 45).

$0Y
To obtain different current values during acceleration and deceleration phases, two different
final slope values, and consequently two different compensation curves, can be
programmed.
The acceleration compensation curve is applied when the motor runs. No BEMF
compensation is applied when the motor is stopped.
7.5
Motor supply voltage compensation
The sinewave amplitude generated by the PWM modulators is directly proportional to the
motor supply voltage (VS). When the motor supply voltage is different from its nominal
value, the motor phases are driven with an incorrect voltage. The L6470 device can
compensate motor supply voltage variations in order to avoid this effect.
The motor supply voltage should be connected to the integrated ADC input through
a resistor divider in order to obtain VREG/2 voltage at the ADCIN pin when VS is at its
nominal value (see Figure 16).
The ADC input is sampled at fS frequency, which is equal to PWM frequency.

Motor supply voltage compensation can be enabled setting high the EN_VSCOMP bit of the
CONFIG register (see Table 22 on page 49, Section 9.1.21 on page 49). If the
EN_VSCOMP bit is low, the compensation is disabled and the internal analog-to-digital
converter is at the user’s disposal; sampling rate is always equal to PWM frequency.
7.6
Winding resistance thermal drift compensation
The higher the winding resistance, the greater the voltage to be applied in order to obtain
the same phase current.
The L6470 integrates a register (K_THERM) which can be used to compensate phase
resistance increment due to temperature rising.
The value in the K_THERM register (see Section 9.1.15 on page 46) multiplies the duty
cycle value allowing a higher phase resistance value to be faced.
The compensation algorithm and the eventual motor temperature measurement should be
implemented by microcontroller firmware.

Serial interface

L6470
Serial interface
The integrated 8-bit serial peripheral interface (SPI) is used for a synchronous serial
communication between the host microprocessor (always master) and the L6470 (always
slave).
The SPI uses chip select (CS), serial clock (CK), serial data input (SDI) and serial data
output (SDO) pins. When CS is high, the device is unselected and the SDO line is inactive
(high-impedance).
The communication starts when CS is forced low. The CK line is used for synchronization of
data communication.
All commands and data bytes are shifted into the device through the SDI input, most
significant bit first. The SDI is sampled on the rising edges of the CK.
All output data bytes are shifted out of the device through the SDO output, most significant
bit first. The SDO is latched on the falling edges of the CK. When a return value from the
device is not available, an all zero byte is sent.
After each byte transmission the CS input must be raised and be kept high for at least tdisCS
in order to allow the device to decode the received command and put the return value into
the SHIFT register.
All timing requirements are shown in Figure 17 (see Section 3: Electrical characteristics on
page 11 for values).
Multiple devices can be connected in daisy chain configuration, as shown in Figure 18.

9.1.1
ABS_POS
The ABS_POS register contains the current motor absolute position in agreement with the
selected step mode; the stored value unit is equal to the selected step mode (full, half,
quarter, etc.). The value is in 2's complement format and it ranges from -221 to +221-1.
At power-on the register is initialized to “0” (HOME position).
Any attempt to write the register when the motor is running causes the command to be
ignored and the NOTPERF_CMD flag to rise (see Section 9.1.22 on page 55).
9.1.2
EL_POS
The EL_POS register contains the current electrical position of the motor. The two MSbits
indicate the current step and the other bits indicate the current microstep (expressed in
step/128) within the step.

MICROSTEP
When the EL_POS register is written by the user, the new electrical position is instantly
imposed. When the EL_POS register is written, its value must be masked in order to match
with the step mode selected in the STEP_MODE register in order to avoid a wrong
microstep value generation (see Section 9.1.19 on page 47); otherwise the resulting
microstep sequence is incorrect.
Any attempt to write the register when the motor is running causes the command to be
ignored and the NOTPERF_CMD flag to rise (see Section 9.1.22).

9.1.4
SPEED
The SPEED register contains the current motor speed, expressed in step/tick (format
unsigned fixed point 0.28).
In order to convert the SPEED value in step/s, the following formula can be used:
Equation 4

SPEED 2
step/s = ------------------------------------tick
where SPEED is the integer number stored in the register and tick is 250 ns.
The available range is from 0 to 15625 step/s with a resolution of 0.015 step/s.
Note:
The range effectively available to the user is limited by the MAX_SPEED parameter.
Any attempt to write the register causes the command to be ignored and the
NOTPERF_CMD flag to rise (see Section 9.1.22 on page 55).
9.1.5
ACC
The ACC register contains the speed profile acceleration expressed in step/tick2 (format

The available range is from 14.55 to 59590 step/s2 with a resolution of 14.55 step/s2.
The 0xFFF value of the register is reserved and it should never be used.
Any attempt to write to the register when the motor is running causes the command to be

When the LSPD_OPT bit is set high, the low speed optimization feature is enabled and the
MIN_SPEED value indicates the speed threshold below which the compensation works. In
this case the minimum speed of the speed profile is set to zero.
An attempt to write the register when the motor is running causes the NOTPERF_CMD flag
to rise.
9.1.9
FS_SPD
The FS_SPD register contains the threshold speed. When the actual speed exceeds this
value, the step mode is automatically switched to full-step two-phase on. Its value is
expressed in step/tick (format unsigned fixed point 0.18) and to convert it in step/s, the
following formula can be used.
Equation 9
– 18
FS_SPD + 0.5 2
step/s = ----------------------------------------------------------tick
If the FS_SPD value is set to h3FF (max.) the system always works in microstepping mode
(SPEED must go beyond the threshold to switch to Full-step mode). Setting FS_SPD to
zero does not have the same effect as setting Step mode to full-step two-phase on: the zero
FS_SPD value is equivalent to a speed threshold of about 7.63 step/s.
The available range is from 7.63 to 15625 step/s with a resolution of 15.25 step/s.

when the motor is running at constant speed (compensation excluded).
The KVAL_ACC register contains the starting KVAL value that can be assigned to the PWM
modulators during acceleration (compensation excluded).
The KVAL_DEC register contains the starting KVAL value that can be assigned to the PWM
modulators during deceleration (compensation excluded).

Every time the step mode is changed, the electrical position (i.e. the point of microstepping
sinewave that is generated) is reset to the first microstep.
Warning:
Every time STEP_SEL is changed, the value in the ABS_POS
register loses meaning and should be reset.
Any attempt to write the register when the motor is running causes the command to be
ignored and the NOTPERF_CMD flag to rise (see Section 9.1.22 on page 55).
When the SYNC_EN bit is set low, BUSY/SYNC output is forced low during command
execution, otherwise, when the SYNC_EN bit is set high, BUSY/SYNC output provides
a clock signal according to the SYNC_SEL parameter.

When the HiZ flag is high, it indicates that the bridges are in high impedance state. Any
motion command makes the device exit from High Z state (HardStop and SoftStop
included), unless error flags forcing a High Z state are active.
The UVLO flag is active low and is set by an undervoltage lockout or reset events (power-up
included).
The TH_WRN, TH_SD, OCD flags are active low and indicate, respectively, thermal
warning, thermal shutdown and overcurrent detection events.
STEP_LOSS_A and STEP_LOSS_B flags are forced low when a stall is detected on bridge
A or bridge B respectively.
The NOTPERF_CMD and WRONG_CMD flags are active high and indicate, respectively,
that the command received by SPI cannot be performed or does not exist at all.
The SW_F flag reports the SW input status (low for open and high for closed).
The SW_EVN flag is active high and indicates a switch turn-on event (SW input falling
edge).
The UVLO, TH_WRN, TH_SD, OCD, STEP_LOSS_A, STEP_LOSS_B, NOTPERF_CMD,
WRONG_CMD and SW_EVN flags are latched: when the respective conditions make them
active (low or high), they remain in that state until a GetStatus command is sent to the IC.
The BUSY bit reflects the BUSY pin status. The BUSY flag is low when a constant speed,
positioning or motion command is under execution and is released (high) after the
command has been completed.
The SCK_MOD bit is an active high flag indicating that the device is working in Step-clock
mode. In this case the step-clock signal should be provided through the STCK input pin. The
DIR bit indicates the current motor direction:

Command management
The host microcontroller can control motor motion and configure the L6470 device through
a complete set of commands.
All commands are composed by a single byte. After the command byte, some bytes of
arguments should be needed (see Figure 19). Argument length can vary from 1 to 3 bytes.

By default, the device returns an all zero response for any received byte, the only
exceptions are the GetParam and GetStatus commands. When one of these commands is
received, the following response bytes represent the related register value (see Figure 20).
Response length can vary from 1 to 3 bytes.

During response transmission, new commands can be sent. If a command requiring
a response is sent before the previous response is completed, the response transmission is
aborted and the new response is loaded into the output communication buffer (see

The SetParam command sets the PARAM register value equal to VALUE; PARAM is the
respective register address listed in Table 12 on page 44.
The command should be followed by the new register VALUE (most significant byte first).
The number of bytes making up the VALUE argument depends on the length of the target
register (see Table 12).
Some registers cannot be written (see Table 12); any attempt to write one of those registers
causes the command to be ignored and the WRONG_CMD flag to rise at the end of the
command byte as if an unknown command code were sent (see Section 9.1.22 on page
55).
Some registers can only be written in particular conditions (see Table 12); any attempt to
write one of those registers when the conditions are not satisfied causes the command to be
ignored and the NOTPERF_CMD flag to rise at the end of the last argument byte (see
Section 9.1.22).
Any attempt to set an inexistent register (wrong address value) causes the command to be
ignored and the WRONG_CMD flag to rise at the end of the command byte as if an
unknown command code were sent.

This command reads the current PARAM register value; PARAM is the respective register
address listed in Table 12.
The command response is the current value of the register (most significant byte first). The
number of bytes making up the command response depends on the length of the target
register (see Table 12).
The returned value is the register one at the moment of GetParam command decoding. If
register values change after this moment, the response is not accordingly updated.
All registers can be read anytime.

The Run command produces a motion at SPD speed; the direction is selected by the DIR
bit: '1' forward or '0' reverse. The SPD value is expressed in step/tick (format unsigned fixed
point 0.28) that is the same format as the SPEED register (see Section 9.1.4 on page 42).
Note:
The SPD value should be lower than MAX_SPEED and greater than MIN_SPEED
otherwise the Run command is executed at MAX_SPEED or MIN_SPEED respectively.
This command keeps the BUSY flag low until the target speed is reached.
This command can be given anytime and is immediately executed.

The StepClock command switches the device in Step-clock mode (see Section 6.7.5 on
page 26) and imposes the forward (DIR = '1') or reverse (DIR = '0') direction.
When the device is in Step-clock mode, the SCK_MOD flag in the STATUS register is raised
and the motor is always considered stopped (see Section 6.7.5 and Section 9.1.22 on page
55).
The device exits from Step-clock mode when a constant speed, absolute positioning or
motion command is sent through SPI. Motion direction is imposed by the respective
StepClock command argument and can by changed by a new StepClock command without
exiting Step-clock mode.
Events that cause bridges to be forced into high impedance state (overtemperature,
overcurrent, etc.) do not cause the device to leave Step-clock mode.
The StepClock command does not force the BUSY flag low. This command can only be
given when the motor is stopped. If a motion is in progress, the motor should be stopped
and it is then possible to send a StepClock command.
Any attempt to perform a StepClock command when the motor is running causes the
command to be ignored and the NOTPERF_CMD flag to rise (see Section 9.1.22).

The Move command produces a motion of N_STEP microsteps; the direction is selected by
the DIR bit ('1' forward or '0' reverse).
The N_STEP value is always in agreement with the selected step mode; the parameter
value unit is equal to the selected step mode (full, half, quarter, etc.).
This command keeps the BUSY flag low until the target number of steps is performed. This
command can only be performed when the motor is stopped. If a motion is in progress, the
motor must be stopped and it is then possible to perform a Move command.
Any attempt to perform a Move command when the motor is running causes the command
to be ignored and the NOTPERF_CMD flag to rise (see Section 9.1.22 on page 55).

The GoTo command keeps the BUSY flag low until the target position is reached.
This command can be given only when the previous motion command has been completed
(BUSY flag released).
Any attempt to perform a GoTo command when a previous command is under execution
(BUSY low) causes the command to be ignored and the NOTPERF_CMD flag to rise (see

The GoUntil command produces a motion at SPD speed imposing a forward (DIR = '1') or
a reverse (DIR = '0') direction. When an external switch turn-on event occurs (see
Section 6.13 on page 31), the ABS_POS register is reset (if ACT = '0') or the ABS_POS
register value is copied into the MARK register (if ACT = '1'); then the system performs a
SoftStop command.
The SPD value is expressed in step/tick (format unsigned fixed point 0.28) that is the same
format as the SPEED register (see Section 9.1.4 on page 42).
The SPD value should be lower than MAX_SPEED and greater than MIN_SPEED,
otherwise the target speed is imposed at MAX_SPEED or MIN_SPEED respectively.
If the SW_MODE bit of the CONFIG register is set low, the external switch turn-on event
causes a HardStop interrupt instead of the SoftStop one (see Section 6.13 and
Section 9.1.21 on page 49).
This command keeps the BUSY flag low until the switch turn-on event occurs and the motor
is stopped. This command can be given anytime and is immediately executed.

The ReleaseSW command produces a motion at minimum speed imposing a forward

register is reset (ACT = '0') or the ABS_POS register value is copied into the MARK register
(ACT = '1'); the system then performs a HardStop command.
Note that resetting the ABS_POS register is equivalent to setting the HOME position.
If the minimum speed value is less than 5 step/s or low speed optimization is enabled, the
motion is performed at 5 step/s.
The ReleaseSW command keeps the BUSY flag low until the switch input is released and
the motor is stopped.

The GoHome command produces a motion to the HOME position (zero position) via the
shortest path.
Note that this command is equivalent to the “GoTo(0…0)” command. If a motor direction is
mandatory, the GoTo_DIR command must be used (see Section 9.2.9).
The GoHome command keeps the BUSY flag low until the home position is reached. This
command can be given only when the previous motion command has been completed. Any
attempt to perform a GoHome command when a previous command is under execution
(BUSY low) causes the command to be ignored and the NOTPERF_CMD to rise (see
