Future Electronics, a global leading distributor of electronic components, announces immediate availability of digital microstepping motor drivers from STMicroelectronics, offering solutions for industrial automation dSPIN.

The high level of integration and simple configuration of the dSPIN digital control core allows autonomous motion management through advanced positioning and speed commands, reducing required MCU system resources.

A rich set of protection features (thermal, low bus voltage, overcurrent, motor stall) allows the design of fully protected applications, as required by the most demanding motor control applications. The fast SPI interface, with daisy chain capability, allows a single MCU to control multiple devices.

Integrated non-dissipative current sensing eliminates the need for external shunt resistors. The digital control core, together with the innovative Voltage-Mode driving operation, result in a position resolution of up to 128 microsteps and smoother motion.
