The PowerStep01, developed by STMicroelectronics and a member of the PowerSTEP family, is engineered to drive both bipolar stepper motors and DC motors without high-voltage gate drivers. The product, categorised as a PMIC Motor Driver, Controller and Regulator, utilises the latest ST-patented technologies to offer the flexibility of both high and clock-less microstep control. At the same time, the PowerStep01 claims to provide the highest industry level of torque linearity, accuracy, and output current per phase.

The device combines a wide range of features and its superior microstepping technology, allowing it to provide seamless control of stepper motors with minimal audible noise. Its wide voltage range allows it to accommodate a variety of motors up to 46V. The PowerStep01 also features a built-in eye protection circuitry, to ensure that no damage is done to the motor in case of overcurrent situation. The product also advertises a superior current control and a very simplified power supply design, allowing for a much simpler system design and integration.

The PowerStep01’s superior microstepping technology is used for both DC and stepper motors. It provides dynamic current control for full/half/microstep control as well as dynamic step interpolation and low resonance. The dynamic current control allows the user to configure the maximum current output and program a current decay profile for better system performance. The product also features dynamic slip compensation and stall detection, designed to ensure smooth, quick and reliable control of the motor even if the load is varied or unpredictable. By regulating current along each of the motor’s winding, the PowerStep01 ensures a smoother and more consistent torque output with less noise and vibration.

The device also advertises a very low quiescent current and power-down mode, both of which allow the system to remain energy efficient even when the motor is not in operation. In addition, it claims to provide advanced current control, which is embedded in the device, allowing the user to program the maximum amount of current that the motor is to output. This helps ensure reliable performance while consuming minimal energy.

The PowerStep01 also features a high-performance electronic decay mode. This mode allows the user to program a decay time and magnify the decay speed, making the device much more responsive to sudden changes in load. In addition, the PowerStep01 advertises a wide operating temperature range, enabling the user to use it in a variety of industrial applications.

In addition to its advanced features, the PowerStep01 also features a low-cost ISP facility, allowing it to be easily programmed and debugged. The device is available in an industry-standard 20-pin package and also is available in an SSOP package. Overall, the PowerStep01 combines a highly efficient stepper motor driver and motor controller and was designed to be simple and cost-effective.
