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.
Figure 2: spreadCycle principle
1.2.3
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.

1.2.4
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.

NOTICE
Always keep the power supply voltage below the upper limit of 28V! Otherwise the driver electronics will be seriously damaged. Especially, when the
selected operating voltage is near the upper limit a regulated power supply is
highly recommended.
NOTICE
Add external power supply capacitors! It is recommended to connect an electrolytic capacitor of significant size (e.g. 470µF/35V) to the power supply lines next
to the TMCM-1270!
× ISU P P LY
Rule of thumb for size of electrolytic capacitor: C = 1000µF
A
In addition to power stabilization (buffer) and filtering this added capacitor will
also reduce any voltage spikes which might otherwise occur from a combination
of high inductance power supply wires and the ceramic capacitors. In addition
it will limit slew-rate of power supply voltage at the module. The low ESR of
ceramic-only filter capacitors may cause stability problems with some switching
power supplies.
NOTICE
Tie ENN to GND in order to enable driver stage! Please note that pin 10 of the
Power supply and I/O connector is a hardware driver stage enable input (active
low) with an internal pull-up resistor. In order to enable motor driver stage and
be able to move the motor using appropriate software commands it is necessary
to tie this input to GND.
CAN Connection
For remote control and communication with a host system the TMCM-1270 provides a CAN bus interface.
For proper operation the following items should be taken into account when setting up a CAN network:

Bus Structure The network topology should follow a bus structure as closely as possible. That is, the
connection between each node and the bus itself should be as short as possible. Basically, it should be
short compared to the length of the bus.
Figure 9: CAN bus strcuture
Bus Termination Especially for longer busses and/or multiple nodes connected to the bus and/or high
communication speeds, the bus should be properly terminated at both ends. The TMCM-1270 does not
integrate any termination resistor. Therefore, 120 Ohm termination resistors at both ends of the bus have
to be added externally.
Number of Nodes The bus transceiver used on the TMCM-1270 (TJA1051) supports at least 100 nodes
under optimum conditions. Practically achievable number of nodes per CAN bus highly depend on bus
length (longer bus → less nodes) and communication speed (higher speed → less nodes).
CAN Bus Adapters To quickly connect to the TMCM-1270 a PC based intergated development environment TMCL-IDE is available. Latest release can be downloaded for free from our web site: www.trinamic.com
A number of common CAN interface adapters from different manufactures is supported from within this
software. Please make sure to check our web site from time to time for the latest version of the software!

Do not connect or disconnect motor during operation! Motor cable and motor inductivity might lead to voltage spikes when the motor is connected / disconnected while energized. These voltage spikes might exceed voltage limits of the
driver MOSFETs and might permanently damage them. Therefore, always switch
off or disconnect power supply before connecting or disconnecting the motor.
LEDs
The TMCM-1270 includes two LEDs: one green status LED and one red error LED. See figure 10 for LED
location.
