Overview

The STK672-110-E is a unipolar fixed-current chopper type 2-phase stepping motor driver hybrid IC. It features power MOSFETs in the output stage and a built-in phase signal distribution IC. The incorporation of a phase distribution IC allows the STK672-110-E to control the speed of the motor based on the frequency of an external input clock signal. It supports two types of excitation for motor control: 2-phase excitation and 1-2 phase excitation. It also provides a function for switching the motor direction.

Features

• The motor speed can be controlled by the frequency of an external clock signal

(the CLOCK pin signal).

• The excitation type is switched according to the state (low or high) of the MODE pin.

The mode is set to 2-phase or 1-2

phase excitation on the rising edge of the clock signal.

• A motor direction switching pin (the CWB pin) is provided.

• All inputs are schmitt inputs and 40kΩ (typical: –50 to +100) pull-up resistors are built in.

• The motor current can be set by changing the Vref pin voltage.

Since a 0.22Ω current detection resistor is built in, a

current of 1A is set for each 0.22V of applied voltage.

• The input frequency range for the clock signal used for motor speed control is 0 to 25kHz.

• Supply voltage ranges: VCC = 10 to 42V, VDD = 5.0V ±5

• This IC supports motor operating currents of up to 1.8A

at Tc = 105°C, and of up to 2.65A at Tc = 25°C.

Applications

• Two-phase stepping motor drive in send/receive facsimile units

• Paper feed in copiers, industrial robots, and other applications

that require 2-phase stepping motor drive
