A4984SLPTR-T supports microstepping up to 16 microsteps per full step for smoothest stepper motor operation via proprietary technology. Such another aspect of accurateness decrease the torque ripple and vibration of that machine and it reduces mechanical noise generated during in between step transitions because there is very high with very low where we have appropriate lowering value. Such capability is necessary when it comes to CNC machines and 3D printers, in which the smooth movement and precision also directly determine their performance and resulting quality.
The A4984SLPTR-T is capable of outputting a drive current of 2A per phase, allowing efficient driving of most stepper motors. This current control capability also delivers stable performance under heavy load in the real world. With its PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) current control, it can dynamically adjust the amount of power delivered to achieve efficiency levels usually above 85%. It consumes less power and generate less heat, which reduces the cost of operation and increases the life of both motor and controller.
With an input voltage from 8V to 35V, the A4984SLPTR-T has enough versatility to fit into low power systems such as automatic lighting controls and high-power industrial equipment. With its 5mm x 5mm QFN package it is ideal for applications with space constraints including robotics, medical devices and portable equipment. This adaptability has rendered the A4984SLPTR-T one of the most preferred components in various industries.
Even more, the reliability is advanced by the embedded protections of A4984SLPTR-T. The thermal shutdown, undervoltage lockout and crossover current protection protect the THS9002 from overheating, voltage irregularities, or electrical missteps while ensuring proper operation under even extreme conditions. Its ESD and Surge protection features makes the controller strong and reliable for long-term usage thus minimizing maintenance cost and downtime in industrial premises.
As a specific example of the technology in practice, one of the world leaders in 3D printing technologies included A4984SLPTR-T in its new-generation systems. This reduced down to 30% of the mechanical noise we had, and the quality was very well visible. This not only contributed to a better user experience but also increased the brand awareness in 3D printers market.
Steve Jobs had a famous quote: “Innovation is the distinguishing character between a leader and a follower.” The A4984SLPTR-T is the perfect example of this idea, as its state-of-the-art design promises efficient and reliable operation for vortex-free stepping of stepper motors.
