TRINAMIC’s Unique Features
stealthChop™
stealthChop is an extremely quiet mode of operation for low and medium velocities. It is based on a voltage mode PWM. During standstill and at low velocities, the motor is absolutely noiseless. Thus, stealthChop operated stepper motor applications are very suitable for indoor or home use. The motor operates
absolutely free of vibration at low velocities. With stealthChop, the motor current is applied by driving
a certain effective voltage into the coil, using a voltage mode PWM. There are no more configurations
required except for the regulation of the PWM voltage to yield the motor target current.
Figure 1: Motor coil sine wave current using stealthChop (measured with current probe)
1.2.2
spreadCycle™
The spreadCycle chopper is a high-precision, hysteresis-based, and simple to use chopper mode, which
automatically determines the optimum length for the fast-decay phase. Several parameters are available
to optimize the chopper to the application. spreadCycle offers optimal zero crossing performance compared to other current controlled chopper algorithms and thereby allows for highest smoothness. The
true target current is powered into the motor coils.

stallGuard2
stallGuard2 is a high-precision sensorless load measurement using the back EMF of the motor coils. It
can be used for stall detection as well as other uses at loads below those which stall the motor. The
stallGuard2 measurement value changes linearly over a wide range of load, velocity, and current settings.
At maximum motor load, the value reaches zero or is near zero. This is the most energy-efficient point of
operation for the motor.

coolStep
coolStep is a load-adaptive automatic current scaling based on the load measurement via stallGuard2.
coolStep adapts the required current to the load. Energy consumption can be reduced by as much as
75%. coolStep allows substantial energy savings, especially for motors which see varying loads or operate
at a high duty cycle. Because a stepper motor application needs to work with a torque reserve of 30% to
50%, even a constant-load application allows significant energy savings because coolStep automatically
enables torque reserve when required. Reducing power consumption keeps the system cooler, increases
motor life, and allows for cost reduction.

Mounting Considerations
TMCM-1070 is designed to be mountable on the back of a NEMA17 motor. Alternatively it can be mounted
standalone.
NOTICE
3.2.1
Thermal Considerations
If not mounted to a motor take care for a proper cooling. The electronics have an
overtemperature shutdown, nevertheless damage to electronics or system can
be caused by excessive temperature.
Top Hat Rail Mounting
To mount the drive on a top hat rail, TRINAMIC offers a fitting top hat rail clip. The order code is provided
in table 2.

NOTICE
Supply Voltage Buffering / Add External Power Supply Capacitors
A sufficiently buffered power supply or an external electrolyte capacitor connected between V+ and GND is recommended for stable operation.
It is recommended to connect an electrolytic capacitor of significant size to the
power supply lines next to the TMCM-1070.
Rule of thumb for size of electrolytic capacitor: C = 1000 µF
A ∗ ISU P P LY
The PD42-1070 comes with approximately 40µF of onboard ceramic capacitors.
NOTICE
There is no reverse polarity protection on the supply input!
The module will short any reversed supply voltage and board electronics will get
damaged.
NOTICE
Power Up Sequence
The TMCM-1070 must be powered up with disabled driver stage only. Depending
on your configuration the EN input should be logically OFF (EN input either open
or at the same voltage level as the COMM input).

TTL UART Connection
To connect via the TTL UART interface to a host PC, we suggest using a USB serial converter from TTL-UART
(5V) to USB interface.
Communication with the host PC, for example when using TRINAMIC’s TMCL-IDE, is done via the Virtual
COM port installed by the converter driver.
More information on the TMCL-IDE and the latest release can be found here: www.trinamic.com
The converter cable must be connected to pins 1, 8, and 9 (GND, RXD, TXD) of the I/O connector.
Default Baud Rates
The default baud rate is 9600 bps.
In bootloader mode, the baud rate is 115200 bps.
Note
USB to UART converter
For example, the TTL-232R-5V from FTDI is working with the module and has
been tested. More information on this converter is available on the FTDI website:
www.ftdichip.com
Info
5V TTL UART Level
The TTL UART interface works with 5V level. Take special care when selecting a
converter cable for USB connection.

The control inputs of the TMCM-1070 are optically isolated (not the TTL UART interface). All optocouplers
share one common anode (COMM) input as shown in the figure above.

Figure 9: Inputs with common anode input with 3.3V to 6V
The typical voltage at COMM input is 5V. Nevertheless, 3.3V or voltages higher than 5V can also be used as
long as the current is through the optocouplers’ emitter is between 5mA to 20mA. For 3.3V operation the
controller must be carefully selected with respect to its I/O ports, its actual output voltage, and the series
resistor of the I/O ports. The user must make sure that the current through the optocouplers’ emitter is
between 5mA to 20mA.
Note
Step pulse width
Width of the step pulses should be between 2µs and 4µs, for maximum step frequency.
With a larger step pulse width, for example 50% duty cycle coming from a frequency generator, the maximum input frequency will be lower at ca. 9kHz..

The series resistors in the TMCM-1070 are 270mOhms. For operation with voltages higher than 5V an
additional external resistor Rexternal is required per input to limit the current. See Table 7 as reference
for additional external resistor values.

Rexternal Selection
Take care when selecting an additional external resistor. The resistor type must
have a fitting power rating. This depends on the voltage used at COMM input.
Optically Isolated Inputs with Common Cathode Input
The optocouplers inside TMCM-1070 are bidirectional types (AC/DC). Thus, COMM can also be used as
common cathode connection with high-side (pnp style) switches instead of low side (npn style) as shown
in previous figures 10, 9 or 8.

Thermal Behavior
The default configuration parameters of the TMCM-1070 are set to the specified maximum current of
1.2A rms / 1.7A peak, which is the maximum motor phase current specified for the stepper motor options
given in Table ??.
Typically, at this nominal current setting the stepper motor and the driver electronics will get hot. Continuous operation at maximum current is not guaranteed without cooling the motor since the stepper driver
will switch off due to its internal over-temperature protection until temperature falls below the threshold.
Note
Operation with Maximum Current Setting For table-top testing and application bring-up the current should be reduced or the coolStep feature should be
configured to keep heating on a reasonable level. Especially, when there is no
other cooling option for the motor.
For proper and continuous operation at maximum current, the motor flange
must be mounted to the applications mechanical interface with good contact.

NOTICE
Never Exceed the absolute maximum ratings! Stresses above those listed
under "‘Absolute Maximum Ratings"’ may cause permanent damage to the
device. This is a stress rating only and functional operation of the device at
those or any other conditions above those indicated in the operation listings
of this specification is not implied. Exposure to maximum rating conditions for
extended periods may affect device reliability.
Keep the power supply voltage below the upper limit of +28V! Otherwise
the board electronics will seriously be damaged! Especially, when the selected
operating voltage is near the upper limit a regulated power supply is highly
recommended.
