TMC2130 OFFERS THREE BASIC MODES OF OPERATION: In Step/Direction Driver Mode, the TMC2130 is the microstep sequencer and power driver between a motion controller and a two-phase stepper motor. Configuration of the TMC2130 is done via SPI. A dedicated motion controller IC or the CPU sends step and direction signals to the TMC2130. The TMC2130 provides the related motor coil currents to operate the motor. In Standalone Mode, the TMC2130 can be configured using pins. In this mode of operation CPU interaction is not necessary. The third mode of operation is the SPI Driver Mode, which is used in combination with TRINAMICs TMC4361 motion controller chip. This mode of operation offers several possibilities for sophisticated applications. OPERATION MODE 1: Step/Direction Driver Mode An external motion controller is used, or a central CPU generates step and direction signals. The motion controller (e.g., TMC429) controls the motor position by sending pulses on the STEP signal while indicating the direction on the DIR signal. The TMC2130 provides a microstep counter and a sine table to convert these signals into the coil currents which control the position of the motor. The TMC2130 automatically takes care of intelligent current and mode control and delivers feedback on the state of the motor. The MicroPlyer automatically smoothens motion. To optimize power consumption and heat dissipation, software may also adjust CoolStep and StallGuard2 parameters in real-time, for example to implement different tradeoffs between speed and power consumption.

Combining these two ICs offers several possibilities for demanding applications including servo features. Please refer to Figure 1.1 for more information about the pinning, which is identical to step/direction driver mode, except that the STEP & DIR pins are not required for operation. www.trinamic.com TMC2130 DATASHEET (Rev. 1.15 / 2022-MAY-31) 7 1.1 Key Concepts The TMC2130 implements advanced features which are exclusive to TRINAMIC products. These features contribute toward greater precision, greater energy efficiency, higher reliability, smoother motion, and cooler operation in many stepper motor applications. StealthChop™ No-noise, high-precision chopper algorithm for inaudible motion and inaudible standstill of the motor. SpreadCycle™ High-precision chopper algorithm for highly dynamic motion and absolutely clean current wave. DcStep™ Load dependent speed control. The motor moves as fast as possible and never loses a step. StallGuard2™ Sensorless stall detection and mechanical load measurement. CoolStep™ Load-adaptive current control reducing energy consumption by as much as 75%. MicroPlyer™ Microstep interpolator for obtaining increased smoothness of microstepping when using the STEP/DIR interface. In addition to these performance enhancements, TRINAMIC motor drivers offer safeguards to detect and protect against shorted outputs, output open-circuit, overtemperature, and undervoltage conditions for enhancing safety and recovery from equipment malfunctions. 1.2 SPI Control Interface The SPI interface is a bit-serial interface synchronous to a bus clock. For every bit sent from the bus master to the bus slave another bit is sent simultaneously from the slave to the master. Communication between an SPI master and the TMC2130 slave always consists of sending one 40-bit command word and receiving one 40-bit status word. The SPI command rate typically is a single initialization after power-on. 1.3 Software From a software point of view the TMC2130 is a peripheral with a number of control and status registers. Most of them can either be written only or read only. Some of the registers allow both read and write access. In case read-modify-write access is desired for a write only register, a shadow register can be realized in master software. 1.4 Moving the Motor 1.4.1 STEP/DIR Interface The motor can be controlled by a step and direction input. Active edges on the STEP input can be rising edges or both rising and falling edges as controlled by a mode bit (dedge). Using both edges cuts the toggle rate of the STEP signal in half, which is useful for communication over slow interfaces such as optically isolated interfaces. On each active edge, the state sampled from the DIR input determines whether to step forward or back. Each step can be a fullstep or a microstep, in which there are 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, or 256 microsteps per fullstep. A step impulse with a low state on DIR increases the microstep counter and a high state decreases the counter by an amount controlled by the microstep resolution. An internal table translates the counter value into the sine and cosine values which control the motor current for microstepping. 1.4.2 SPI Direct Mode The direct mode allows control of both motor coil currents and polarity via SPI. It mainly is intended for use with a dedicated external motion controller IC with integrated sequencer. The sequencer applies sine and cosine waves to the motor coils. This mode also allows control of DC motors, etc. www.trinamic.com TMC2130 DATASHEET (Rev. 1.15 / 2022-MAY-31) 8 1.5 StealthChop Driver StealthChop is a voltage chopper-based principle. It guarantees absolutely quiet motor standstill and silent slow motion, except for noise generated by ball bearings. StealthChop can be combined with classic cycle-by-cycle chopper modes for best performance in all velocity ranges. Two additional chopper modes are available: a traditional constant off-time mode and the SpreadCycle mode. The constant off-time mode provides high torque at highest velocity, while SpreadCycle offers smooth operation and good power efficiency over a wide range of speed and load. SpreadCycle automatically integrates a fast decay cycle and guarantees smooth zero crossing performance. The extremely smooth motion of StealthChop is beneficial for many applications. Programmable microstep shapes allow optimizing the motor performance for low-cost motors. Benefits of using StealthChop: - Significantly improved microstepping with low-cost motors - Motor runs smooth and quiet - Absolutely no standby noise - Reduced mechanical resonances yields improved torque 1.6 StallGuard2 – Mechanical Load Sensing StallGuard2 provides an accurate measurement of the load on the motor. It can be used for stall detection as well as other uses at loads below those which stall the motor, such as CoolStep loadadaptive current reduction. This gives more information on the drive allowing functions like sensorless homing and diagnostics of the drive mechanics. 1.7 CoolStep – Load Adaptive Current Control CoolStep drives the motor at the optimum current. It uses the StallGuard2 load measurement information to adjust the motor current to the minimum amount required in the actual load situation. This saves energy and keeps the components cool. Benefits are: - Energy efficiency - Motor generates less heat - Less or no cooling - Use of smaller motor power consumption decreased up to 75% improved mechanical precision improved reliability less torque reserve required → cheaper motor does the job Figure 1.3 shows the efficiency gain of a 42mm stepper motor when using CoolStep compared to standard operation with 50% of torque reserve. CoolStep is enabled above 60RPM in the example. 0,9 Efficiency with coolStep 0,8 Efficiency with 50% torque reserve 0,7 0,6 0,5 Efficiency 0,4 0,3 0,2 0,1 0 0 50 100 150 200 250 300 350 Velocity [RPM] Figure 1.3 Energy efficiency with CoolStep (example) www.trinamic.com TMC2130 DATASHEET (Rev. 1.15 / 2022-MAY-31) 9 1.8 DcStep – Load Dependent Speed Control DcStep allows the motor to run near its load limit and at its velocity limit without losing a step. If the mechanical load on the motor increases to the stalling load, the motor automatically decreases velocity so that it can still drive the load. With this feature, the motor will never stall. In addition to the increased torque at a lower velocity, dynamic inertia will allow the motor to overcome mechanical overloads by decelerating. DcStep feeds back status information to the external motion controller or to the system CPU, so that the target position will be reached, even if the motor velocity needs to be decreased due to increased mechanical load. A dynamic range of up to factor 10 or more can be covered by DcStep without any step loss. By optimizing the motion velocity in high load situations, this feature further enhances overall system efficiency. Benefits are: - Motor does not loose steps in overload conditions - Application works as fast as possible - Highest possible acceleration automatically - Highest energy efficiency at speed limit - Highest possible motor torque using fullstep drive - Cheaper motor does the job www.trinamic.com TMC2130 DATASHEET (Rev. 1.15 / 2022-MAY-31) 2 10 Pin Assignments BRA OA2 VS VSA VCP 31 30 29 34 32 OA1 35 33 TST_MODE GNDP 36 2.1 Package Outline CLK 1 28 CSN_CFG3 2 27 CPI CPO SCK_CFG2 3 26 VCC SDI_CFG1 4 5VOUT SDO_CFG0 5 24 GNDA STEP 6 TMC2130-LA QFN-36 25 23 7 5mm x 6mm AIN_IREF DIR 22 DRV_ENN_CFG6 VCC_IO 8 21 DIAG1 - 9 20 DIAG0 SPI_MODE 10 19 DCIN_CFG5 18 DCO DCEN_CFG4 17 16 VS 15 14 OB2 BRB 13 OB1 12 - GNDP 11 PAD = GNDD OA2 - VS VSA VCP CPI 41 40 39 38 37 43 42 - BRA OA1 46 44 47 45 GNDP 48 Figure 2.1 TMC2130-LA package and pinning QFN36 (5x6mm² body) TST_MODE 1 36 CLK 2 35 CPO CSN_CFG3 3 34 VCC SCK_CFG2 4 33 5VOUT SDI_CFG1 5 32 GNDA 31 - 30 AIN_IREF 29 DRV_ENN_CFG6 TMC2130-TA TQFP-48 9mm x 9mm - 6 SDO_CFG0 7 STEP 8 DIR 9 28 - VCC_IO 10 27 DIAG1 - 11 26 DIAG0 SPI_MODE 12 25 DCIN_CFG5 17 18 19 20 21 22 - BRB - OB2 - VS - 24 16 OB1 23 15 DCO 14 - DCEN_CFG4 13 GNDP PAD = GNDD Figure 2.2 TMC2130-TA package and pinning TQFP-EP 48-EP (7x7mm² body, 9x9mm² with leads) www.trinamic.com TMC2130 DATASHEET (Rev. 1.15 / 2022-MAY-31) 11 2.2 Signal Descriptions Pin QFN36 TQFP48 Type CLK 1 2 DI CSN_CFG3 2 3 SCK_CFG2 3 4 SDI_CFG1 4 5 SDO_CFG0 5 7 STEP DIR 6 7 8 9 VCC_IO 8 10 9 11, 18, 28, 45, DNC DI (tpu) DI (tpu) DI (tpu) DIO (tpu) DI DI 14, 16, 20, 22, 41, 43, 47 - DI (pu) SPI_MODE 10 12 N.C. 11 6, 31, 36 GNDP OB1 12, 35 13 13, 48 15 BRB 14 17 OB2 15 19 VS 16, 31 21, 40 DCO 17 23 DIO DCEN_CFG4 18 24 DI (tpu) DCIN_CFG5 19 25 DI (tpu) DIAG0 20 26 DIO DIAG1 21 27 DIO DRV_ENN_ CFG6 22 29 DI (tpu) www.trinamic.com Function CLK input.

See chapter 9 to choose the right sense resistors. Use low ESR capacitors for filtering the power supply. The capacitors need to cope with the current ripple cause by chopper operation. A minimum capacity of 100µF near the driver is recommended for best performance. Current ripple in the supply capacitors also depends on the power supply internal resistance and cable length. VCC_IO can be supplied from 5VOUT, or from an external source, e.g., a low drop 3.3V regulator. In order to minimize linear voltage regulator power dissipation of the internal 5V voltage regulator in applications where VM is high, a different (lower) supply voltage can be used for VSA, if available. For example, many applications provide a 12V supply in addition to a higher driver supply voltage. Using the 12V supply for VSA rather than 24V will reduce the power dissipation of the internal 5V regulator to about 37% of the dissipation caused by supply with the full motor voltage. Basic layout hints Place sense resistors and all filter capacitors as close as possible to the related IC pins. Use a solid common GND for all GND connections, also for sense resistor GND. Connect 5VOUT filtering capacitor directly to 5VOUT and GNDA pin. See layout hints for more details. Low ESR electrolytic capacitors are recommended for VS filtering. www.trinamic.com TMC2130 DATASHEET (Rev. 1.15 / 2022-MAY-31) 14 Attention Ensure sufficient capacity on VS to limit supply ripple, and to keep power slopes below 1V/µs. Failure to do so could result in destructive currents via the charge pump capacitor. Provide overvoltage protection in case the motor could be manually turned at a high velocity, or in case the driver could become cut off from the main supply capacitors. Significant energy can be fed back from motor coils to the power supply in the event of quick deceleration, or when the driver becomes disabled. Attention In case VSA is supplied by a different voltage source, make sure that VSA does not exceed VS by more than one diode drop, especially also upon power up or power down. 3.2 Reduced Number of Components Optional use lower voltage down to 6V +VM VSA 5VOUT 100n 5V Voltage regulator 4.7µ VCC Figure 3.2 Reduced number of filtering components The standard application circuit uses RC filtering to de-couple the output of the internal linear regulator from high frequency ripple caused by digital circuitry supplied by the VCC input. For cost sensitive applications, the RC-Filtering on VCC can be eliminated. This leads to more noise on 5VOUT caused by operation of the charge pump and the internal digital circuitry. There is a slight impact on microstep vibration and chopper noise performance. www.trinamic.com TMC2130 DATASHEET (Rev. 1.15 / 2022-MAY-31) 15 3.3 Internal RDSon Sensing 5VOUT For cost critical or space limited applications, sense resistors can be omitted.

This especially is beneficial in high voltage applications, and when thermal conditions are critical. Make sure, that the 5V supply does not exceed VS level by more than a diode drop. The circuit will benefit from a well-regulated supply, e.g., when using a +/-1% regulator. A precise supply guarantees increased motor current precision because the voltage at 5VOUT directly is the reference voltage for all internal units of the driver, especially for motor current control. For best performance, the power supply should have low ripple to give a precise and stable level at 5VOUT pin with remaining ripple well below 5mV. Some switching regulators have a higher remaining ripple, or different loads on the supply may cause lower frequency ripple. In this case, increase capacity attached to 5VOUT. In case the external supply voltage has poor stability or low frequency ripple, this would affect the precision of the motor current regulation as well as add chopper noise. Well-regulated, stable supply, better than +-5% +5V VSA 5VOUT 4.7µ 5V Voltage regulator 10R VCC 470n Figure 3.4 Using an external 5V supply to bypass internal regulator 3.5 Pre-Regulator for Reduced Power Dissipation When operating at supply voltages up to 46V for VS and VSA, the internal linear regulator will contribute with up to 1W to the power dissipation of the driver. This will reduce the capability of the chip to continuously drive high motor current, especially at high environment temperatures. When no external power supply in the range 5V to 24V is available, an external pre-regulator can be built with a few inexpensive components to dissipate most of the voltage drop in external components. Figure 3.5 shows different examples.

In this application, linear regulator drop must be minimized. Therefore, the major 5 V load is removed by supplying VCC directly from the external supply. In order to keep supply ripple away from the analog voltage reference, 5VOUT should have an own filtering capacity and the 5VOUT pin does not become bridged to the 5V supply. www.trinamic.com TMC2130 DATASHEET (Rev. 1.15 / 2022-MAY-31) 18 3.7 High Motor Current When operating at a high motor current, the driver power dissipation due to MOSFET switch onresistance significantly heats up the driver. This power dissipation will heat up the PCB cooling infrastructure also, if operated at an increased duty cycle. This in turn leads to a further increase of driver temperature. An increase of temperature by about 100°C increases MOSFET resistance by roughly 50%. This is a typical behavior of MOSFET switches. Therefore, under high duty cycle, high load conditions, thermal characteristics have to be carefully taken into account, especially when increased environment temperatures are to be supported. Refer the thermal characteristics and the layout hints for more information. As a thumb rule, thermal properties of the PCB design become critical for the QFN-36 at or above about 1000mA RMS motor current for increased periods of time. Keep in mind that resistive power dissipation raises with the square of the motor current. On the other hand, this means that a small reduction of motor current significantly saves heat dissipation and energy. An effect which might be perceived at medium motor velocities and motor sine wave peak currents above roughly 1.2A peak is a slight sine distortion of the current wave when using SpreadCycle. It results from an increasing negative impact of parasitic internal diode conduction, which in turn negatively influences the duration of the fast decay cycle of the SpreadCycle chopper. This is, because the current measurement does not see the full coil current during this phase of the sine wave, because an increasing part of the current flows directly from the power MOSFETs’ drain to GND and does not flow through the sense resistor. This effect with most motors does not negatively influence the smoothness of operation, as it does not impact the critical current zero transition. The effect does not occur with StealthChop. 3.7.1 Reduce Linear Regulator Power Dissipation When operating at high supply voltages, as a first step the power dissipation of the integrated 5V linear regulator can be reduced, e.g., by using an external 5V source for supply. This will reduce overall heating. It is advised to reduce motor stand still current to decrease overall power dissipation. If applicable, also use CoolStep. A decreased clock frequency will reduce power dissipation of the internal logic. Further a decreased chopper frequency also can reduce power dissipation. 3.7.2 Operation near to / above 2A Peak Current The driver can deliver up to 2.5A motor peak current. Considering thermal characteristics, this only is possible in duty cycle limited operation. When a peak current up to 2.5A is to be driven, the driver chip temperature is to be kept at a maximum of 105°C. Linearly derate the design peak temperature from 125°C to 105°C in the range 2A to 2.5A output current (see Figure 3.7). Exceeding this may lead to triggering the short circuit detection.

The Schottky diodes have a conduction voltage of about 0.5V and will take over more than half of the motor current during the negative half wave of each output in slow decay and fast decay phases, thus leading to a cooler motor driver. This effect starts from a few percent at 1.2A and increases with higher motor current rating up to roughly 20%. As a 30V Schottky diode has a lower forward voltage than a 50V or 60V diode, it makes sense to use a 30V diode when the supply voltage is below 30V. The diodes will have less effect when working with StealthChop due to lower times of diode conduction in the chopper cycle. At current levels below 1.2A coil current, the effect of the diodes is negligible.

Despite ESD circuitry within the driver chips, ESD events occurring during operation can cause a reset or even a destruction of the motor driver, depending on their energy. Especially plastic housings and belt drive systems tend to cause ESD events of several kV. It is best practice to avoid ESD events by attaching all conductive parts, especially the motors themselves to PCB ground, or to apply electrically conductive plastic parts. In addition, the driver can be protected up to a certain degree against ESD events or live plugging / pulling the motor, which also causes high voltages and high currents into the motor connector terminals. A simple scheme uses capacitors at the driver outputs to reduce the dV/dt caused by ESD events. Larger capacitors will bring more benefit concerning ESD suppression, but cause additional current flow in each chopper cycle, and thus increase driver power dissipation, especially at high supply voltages. The values shown are example values – they might be varied between 100pF and 1nF. The capacitors also dampen high frequency noise injected from digital parts of the application PCB circuitry and thus reduce electromagnetic emission. A more elaborate scheme uses LC filters to de-couple the driver outputs from the motor connector. Varistors in between of the coil terminals eliminate coil overvoltage caused by live plugging. Optionally protect all outputs by a varistor against ESD voltage. 470pF 100V OA1 Full Bridge A OA1 OA2 S N stepper motor Full Bridge A 50Ohm @ 100MHz V1A V1 OA2 50Ohm @ 100MHz 470pF 100V BRA Driver RSA 470pF 100V S N stepper motor V1B 470pF 100V Driver 100nF 16V 470pF 100V OB1 Full Bridge B OB1 Full Bridge B OB2 50Ohm @ 100MHz V2A V2 OB2 50Ohm @ 100MHz 470pF 100V BRB RSB 100nF 16V 470pF 100V Fit varistors to supply voltage rating.

Microcontrollers which are equipped with hardware SPI are typically able to communicate using integer multiples of 8 bit. The NCS line of the device must be handled in a way, that it stays active (low) for the complete duration of the datagram transmission. Each datagram sent to the device is composed of an address byte followed by four data bytes. This allows direct 32-bit data word communication with the register set. Each register is accessed via 32 data bits even if it uses less than 32 data bits. For simplification, each register is specified by a one byte address: - For a read access the most significant bit of the address byte is 0. - For a write access the most significant bit of the address byte is 1. Most registers are write-only registers, some can be read additionally, and there are also some read only registers. SPI DATAGRAM STRUCTURE MSB (transmitted first) 40 bit 39 ... → 8 bit address  8 bit SPI status ... 0  → 32 bit data 39 ... 32 → to TMC2130 RW + 7 bit address  from TMC2130 8 bit SPI status W 39 / 38 ... 32 38...32 LSB (transmitted last) 31 ... 0 8 bit data 8 bit data 31 ... 24 31...28 27...24 23 ... 16 23...20 19...16 8 bit data 8 bit data 15 ... 8 15...12 7 ... 0 11...8 7...4 3...0 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 4.1.1 Selection of Write / Read (WRITE_notREAD) The read and write selection is controlled by the MSB of the address byte (bit 39 of the SPI datagram). This bit is 0 for read access and 1 for write access. So, the bit named W is a WRITE_notREAD control bit. The active high write bit is the MSB of the address byte. So, 0x80 has to be added to the address for a write access. The SPI interface always delivers data back to the master, independent of the W bit. The data transferred back is the data read from the address which was transmitted with the previous datagram, if the previous access was a read access. If the previous access was a write access, then the data read back mirrors the previously received write data. So, the difference between a read and a write access is that the read access does not transfer data to the addressed register but it transfers the address only and its 32 data bits are dummies, and, further the following read or write access delivers back the data read from the address transmitted in the preceding read cycle. A read access request datagram uses dummy write data. Read data is transferred back to the master with the subsequent read or write access. Hence, reading multiple registers can be done in a pipelined fashion. Whenever data is read from or written to the TMC2130, the MSBs delivered back contain the SPI status, SPI_STATUS, a number of eight selected status bits. www.trinamic.com TMC2130 DATASHEET (Rev. 1.15 / 2022-MAY-31) 22 Example: For a read access to the register (DRV_STATUS) with the address 0x6F, the address byte has to be set to 0x6F in the access preceding the read access. For a write access to the register (CHOPCONF), the address byte has to be set to 0x80 + 0x6C = 0xEC. For read access, the data bit might have any value (-). So, one can set them to 0. action read DRV_STATUS read DRV_STATUS write CHOPCONF:= 0x00ABCDEF write CHOPCONF:= 0x00123456 data sent to TMC2130 → 0x6F00000000 → 0x6F00000000 → 0xEC00ABCDEF → 0xEC00123456 data received from TMC2130  0xSS & unused data  0xSS & DRV_STATUS  0xSS & DRV_STATUS  0xSS00ABCDEF *)S: is a placeholder for the status bits SPI_STATUS 4.1.2 SPI Status Bits Transferred with Each Datagram Read Back New status information becomes latched at the end of each access and is available with the next SPI transfer.

Some registers represent unsigned (positive) values, some represent integer values (signed) as two’s complement numbers, single bits or groups of bits are represented as single bits respectively as integer groups. 4.2 SPI Signals The SPI bus on the TMC2130 has four signals: - SCK – bus clock input - SDI – serial data input - SDO – serial data output - CSN – chip select input (active low) The slave is enabled for an SPI transaction by a low on the chip select input CSN. Bit transfer is synchronous to the bus clock SCK, with the slave latching the data from SDI on the rising edge of SCK and driving data to SDO following the falling edge. The most significant bit is sent first. A minimum of 40 SCK clock cycles is required for a bus transaction with the TMC2130. If more than 40 clocks are driven, the additional bits shifted into SDI are shifted out on SDO after a 40-clock delay through an internal shift register. This can be used for daisy chaining multiple chips. CSN must be low during the whole bus transaction. When CSN goes high, the contents of the internal shift register are latched into the internal control register and recognized as a command from the master to the slave. If more than 40 bits are sent, only the last 40 bits received before the rising edge of CSN are recognized as the command. www.trinamic.com TMC2130 DATASHEET (Rev. 1.15 / 2022-MAY-31) 23 4.3 Timing The SPI interface is synchronized to the internal system clock, which limits the SPI bus clock SCK to half of the system clock frequency. If the system clock is based on the on-chip oscillator, an additional 10% safety margin must be used to ensure reliable data transmission. All SPI inputs as well as the ENN input are internally filtered to avoid triggering on pulses shorter than 20ns.

The smooth transition avoids a motor jerk upon power down. 0: 1..15: W R W 0x11 0x12 0x13 8 20 20 www.trinamic.com TPOWER DOWN TSTEP TPWMTHRS instant power down Delay per current reduction step in multiple of 2^18 clocks TPOWERDOWN sets the delay time after stand still (stst) of the motor to motor current power down. Time range is about 0 to 4 seconds. 0: no delay, 1: minimum delay, 2..255: (TPOWERDOWN-1) * 2^18 tCLK Actual measured time between two 1/256 microsteps derived from the step input frequency in units of 1/fCLK. Measured value is (2^20)-1 in case of overflow or stand still. All TSTEP related thresholds use a hysteresis of 1/16 of the compare value to compensate for jitter in the clock or the step frequency. The flag small_hysteresis modifies the hysteresis to a smaller value of 1/32. (Txxx*15/16)-1 or (Txxx*31/32)-1 is used as a second compare value for each comparison value. This means, that the lower switching velocity equals the calculated setting, but the upper switching velocity is higher as defined by the hysteresis setting. In DcStep mode TSTEP will not show the mean velocity of the motor, but the velocities for each microstep, which may not be stable and thus does not represent the real motor velocity in case it runs slower than the target velocity. This is the upper velocity for StealthChop voltage PWM mode. TSTEP ≥ TPWMTHRS - StealthChop PWM mode is enabled, if configured - DcStep is disabled TMC2130 DATASHEET (Rev. 1.15 / 2022-MAY-31) 28 VELOCITY DEPENDENT DRIVER FEATURE CONTROL REGISTER SET (0X10…0X1F) R/W W Addr 0x14 n 20 Register TCOOLTHRS Description / bit names This is the lower threshold velocity for switching on smart energy CoolStep and StallGuard feature. (unsigned) Set this parameter to disable CoolStep at low speeds, where it cannot work reliably. The stall detection and StallGuard output signal becomes enabled when exceeding this velocity. In nonDcStep mode, it becomes disabled again once the velocity falls below this threshold. TCOOLTHRS ≥ TSTEP ≥ THIGH: - CoolStep is enabled, if configured - StealthChop voltage PWM mode is disabled TCOOLTHRS ≥ TSTEP - StallGuard status output signal is enabled, if configured This velocity setting allows velocity dependent switching into a different chopper mode and fullstepping to maximize torque. (unsigned) The stall detection feature becomes switched off for 2-3 electrical periods whenever passing THIGH threshold to compensate for the effect of switching modes. W 0x15 20 THIGH TSTEP ≤ THIGH: - CoolStep is disabled (motor runs with normal current scale) - StealthChop voltage PWM mode is disabled - If vhighchm is set, the chopper switches to chm=1 with TFD=0 (constant off time with slow decay, only). - chopSync2 is switched off (SYNC=0) - If vhighfs is set, the motor operates in fullstep mode and the stall detection becomes switched over to DcStep stall detection. Microstep velocity time reference t for velocities: TSTEP = fCLK / fSTEP256. TSTEP is related to 1/256 microstep resolution independent of actual resolution set by MRES. www.trinamic.com TMC2130 DATASHEET (Rev. 1.15 / 2022-MAY-31) 29 5.3 SPI Mode Register This register cannot be used in STEP/DIR mode. SPI MODE REGISTER (0X2D) R/W Addr n Register Description / bit names direct_mode 0: Normal operation 1: Directly SPI driven motor current Range [Unit] ±255 for both coils Direct mode operation: XDIRECT specifies Motor coil currents and polarity directly programmed via the serial interface. Use signed, two’s complement numbers. RW 0x2D 32 XDIRECT Coil A current (bits 8..0) (signed) Coil B current (bits 24..16) (signed) Range: +-248 for normal operation, up to +-255 with StealthChop In this mode, the current is scaled by IHOLD setting. Velocity based current regulation of voltage PWM is not available in this mode. The automatic voltage PWM current regulation will work only for low stepper motor velocities. DcStep is not available in this mode. CoolStep and StallGuard only can be used, when additionally supplying a STEP signal. This will also enable automatic current scaling. 5.4 DcStep Minimum Velocity Register DCSTEP MINIMUM VELOCITY REGISTER (0X33) R/W Addr n Register W 0x33 23 VDCMIN Description / bit names The automatic commutation DcStep becomes enabled by the external signal DCEN. VDCMIN is used as the minimum step velocity when the motor is heavily loaded. Hint: Also set DCCTRL parameters to operate DcStep. time reference t for VDCMIN: t = 2^24 / fCLK www.trinamic.com TMC2130 DATASHEET (Rev. 1.15 / 2022-MAY-31) 30 5.5 Motor Driver Registers MICROSTEPPING CONTROL REGISTER SET (0X60…0X6B) R/W Addr n Register MSLUT[0] W 0x60 32 microstep table entries 0…31 MSLUT[1...7] W W W R R 0x61 … 0x67 0x68 0x69 0x6A 0x6B 7 x 32 32 8 + 8 10 9 + 9 www.trinamic.com microstep table entries 32…255 MSLUTSEL MSLUTSTART MSCNT MSCURACT Description / bit names Each bit gives the difference between entry x and entry x+1 when combined with the corresponding MSLUTSEL W bits: 0: W= %00: -1 %01: +0 %10: +1 %11: +2 1: W= %00: +0 %01: +1 %10: +2 %11: +3 This is the differential coding for the first quarter of a wave.
