1.2 TRINAMIC’s Unique Features
1.2.1 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.

1.3 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.

Initial stallGuard2 (SG) value: 100%

Figure 3: stallGuard2 Load Measurement as a Function of Load
1.4 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.

3 Mechanical and Electrical Interfacing
3.1 TMCM-1076 Dimensions and Weight
The dimensions of the TMCM-1076 are approximately 60mm x 60mm x 13mm. There are four mounting
holes for M3 screws for mounting the TMCM-1076. These mounting holes are located in the bottom / base
plate and accessible after removing the top cover (see 5, right figure, mounting holes marked red). Two of
them at opposite positions can be used for mounting the module to the backside of our NEMA23 stepper
motors (screw/thread length depends on motor size). The other two can be used for mounting the module
to the backside of our NEMA24 stepper motors (screw/thread length depends on motor size).

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 (dis)connecting the motor.

NOTICE
Supply Voltage Buffering / Add External Power Supply Capacitors
A sufficiently buffered power supply or an external electrolyte capacitor
connected between V+ and GND is recommended for stable operation.
It is recommended to connect an electrolytic capacitor of significant size to the
power supply lines next to the TMCM-1076.
Rule of thumb for size of electrolytic capacitor: C = 1000

The TMCM-1076 comes with approximately 40µF of onboard ceramic capacitors.
NOTICE
There is no reverse polarity protection on the supply input!
The module will short any reversed supply voltage and board electronics will get
damaged.
NOTICE
Power Up Sequence
The TMCM-1076 must be powered up with disabled driver stage only. Depending
on your configuration the EN input should be logically OFF. For example, if COMM
input is connected to 3.3V to 6V, the EN input must be 0V. If common ground or
0V level is connected to COMM input, the EN input must have high level.

4.3 TTL UART Connection
To connect via the TTL UART interface to a host PC, we suggest using a USB serial converter from TTL-UART
(5V) to USB interface.
Communication with the host PC, for example when using TRINAMIC’s TMCL-IDE, is done via the Virtual
COM port installed by the converter driver.
More information on the TMCL-IDE and the latest release can be found here: www.trinamic.com
The converter cable must be connected to pins 1, 8, and 9 (GND, RXD, TXD) of the I/O connector.
Note
Default Baud Rates
The default baud rate is 9600 bps.
In bootloader mode, the baud rate is 115200 bps.
Info
USB to UART converter
For example, the TTL-232R-5V from FTDI is working with the module and has
been tested. More information on this converter is available on the FTDI website:
www.ftdichip.com
NOTICE
5V TTL UART Level
The TTL UART interface works with 5V level. Take special care when selecting a
converter cable for USB connection.
4.4 Status LEDs

5 Functional Description
5.1 Typical Application Wiring
Wire the TMCM-1076 as shown in the following figures.
• Connect the the power supply to V+ and GND.
• Connect the Step and Direction signals to your motion controller.
• At power up time, the EN input must be low (= driver stage disabled)!
•
Optional: Connect UART to a TTL UART interface with 5V logic levels. To configure your TMCM-1076
connect start the TMCL-IDE and use the parameterization tools. For detailed instructions refer to the
TMCM-1076-firmware-manual.
Note
The TTL UART interface is not optically isolated. It has and requires 5V level
signals.
Nevertheless, it provides basic ESD and rail-to-rail signal line protection for the
TMCM-1076.

5.2 Optically Isolated Inputs with Common Anode Input

The typical voltage at COMM input is 5V. Nevertheless, 3.3V or voltages higher than 5V can also be used as
long as the current is through the optocouplers’ emitter is between 5mA to 20mA. For 3.3V operation the
controller must be carefully selected with respect to its I/O ports, its actual output voltage, and the series
resistor of the I/O ports. The user must make sure that the current through the optocouplers’ emitter is
between 5mA to 20mA.
Note
Step pulse width
Width of the step pulses should be between 2µs and 4µs, for maximum step
frequency.
With a larger step pulse width, for example 50% duty cycle coming from a frequency generator, the maximum input frequency will be lower at ca. 9kHz..

The optocouplers inside TMCM-1076 are bidirectional types (AC/DC). Thus, COMM can also be used as
common cathode connection with high-side (pnp style) switches instead of low side (npn style) as shown
in previous figures 9, 8 or 7.

5.4 Thermal Behavior
The motor current may be set to the specified maximum current of 3A RMS / 4.2A peak for the TMCM1076 which is slightly above the maximum specified current for the stepper motor options (available as
PD57/PD60-x-1076).
Typically, at this nominal current setting the stepper motor and the driver electronics will get hot. Continuous operation at maximum current is not guaranteed without cooling the motor.
Note
Operation with Maximum Current Setting
For table-top testing and application bring-up the current should be reduced or the coolStep feature should be
configured to keep heating on a reasonable level. Especially, when there is no
other cooling option for the motor.
For proper and continuous operation at maximum current, the motor flange
must be mounted to the applications mechanical interface with good contact.
