Features
The TMC246 / TMC246A (1) is a dual full bridge driver IC for bipolar stepper motor control
applications. The integrated unique sensorless stall detection (pat. pend.) StallGuard™ makes it a
good choice for applications, where a reference point is needed, but where a switch is not desired. Its
ability to predict an overload makes the TMC246 an optimum choice for drives, where a high reliability
is desired. The TMC246 is realized in a HVCMOS technology combined with Low-RDS-ON high
efficiency MOSFETs (pat. pend.). It allows to drive a coil current of up to 1500mA even at high
environment temperatures. Its low current consumption and high efficiency together with the miniature
package make it a perfect solution for embedded motion control and for battery powered devices.
Internal DACs allow microstepping as well as smart current control. The device can be controlled by a
serial interface (SPI™
i
) or by analog / digital input signals. Short circuit, temperature, undervoltage
and overvoltage protection are integrated.

Sensorless stall detection StallGuard™ and load measurement integrated
Control via SPI with easy-to-use 12 bit protocol or external analog / digital signals
Short circuit, overvoltage and overtemperature protection integrated
Status flags for overcurrent, open load, over temperature, temperature pre-warning, undervoltage
Integrated 4 bit DACs allow up to 16 times microstepping via SPI, any resolution via analog
control
Mixed decay feature for smooth motor operation
Slope control user programmable to reduce electromagnetic emissions
Chopper frequency programmable via a single capacitor or external clock
Current control allows cool motor and driver operation
7V to 34V motor supply voltage (A-type)
Up to 1500mA output current and more than 800mA at 105°C
3.3V or 5V operation for digital part
Low power dissipation via low RDS-ON power stage
Standby and shutdown mode available
(1) The term TMC246 in this datasheet always refers to the TMC246A and the TMC246. The major
differences in the older TMC246 are explicitly marked with “non-A-type”. The TMC246A brings a
number of enhancements and is fully backward compatible to the TMC246.
