1.2 Control Interfaces
The TMC2226 supports both, discrete control lines for basic mode selection and a UART based single wire interface with CRC checking. The UART interface automatically becomes enabled when correct UART data is sent. When using UART, the pin selection may be disabled by control bits.
1.2.1 UART Interface UART
The single wire interface allows unidirectional operation (for parameter setting only), or bi-directional operation for full control and diagnostics. It can be driven by any standard microcontroller UART or even by bit banging in software. Baud rates from 9600 Baud to 500k Baud or even higher (when using an external clock) may be used. No baud rate configuration is required, as the TMC2226 automatically adapts to the masters’ baud rate. The frame format is identical to the intelligent TRINAMIC controller & driver ICs TMC5130, TMC516x and TMC5072. A CRC checksum allows data transmission over longer distance. For fixed initialization sequences, store the data including CRC into the µC, thus consuming only a few 100 bytes of code for a full initialization. CRC may be ignored during read access, if not desired. This makes CRC use an optional feature! The IC supports four address settings to access up to four ICs on a single bus. Even more drivers can be programmed in parallel by tying together all interface pins, in case no read access is required. An optional addressing can be provided by analog multiplexers, like 74HC4066. From a software point of view the TMC2226 is a peripheral with a number of control and status registers. Most of them can either be written only or are read only. Some of the registers allow both, read and write access. In case read-modify-write access is desired for a write only register, realize a shadow register in master software.
1.3 Moving and Controlling the Motor 1.3.1 STEP/DIR Interface
The motor is controlled by a step and direction input. Active edges on the STEP input can be rising edges or both rising and falling edges as controlled by a special mode bit (DEDGE). Using both edges cuts the toggle rate of the STEP signal in half, which is useful for communication over slow interfaces such as optically isolated interfaces. The state sampled from the DIR input upon an active STEP edge determines whether to step forward or back. Each step can be a fullstep or a microstep, in which there are 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, or 256 microsteps per fullstep. A step impulse with a low state on DIR increases the microstep counter. With a high state, it decreases the counter by an amount controlled by the microstep resolution. An internal table translates the counter value into the sine and cosine values which control the motor current for microstepping.
1.3.2 Internal Step Pulse Generator UART
Some applications do not require a precisely co-ordinate motion – the motor just is required to move for a certain time and at a certain velocity. The TMC2226 comes with an internal pulse generator for these applications: Just provide the velocity via UART interface to move the motor. The velocity sign automatically controls the direction of the motion. However, the pulse generator does not integrate a ramping function. Motion at higher velocities will require ramping up and ramping down the velocity value via software. STEP/DIR mode and internal pulse generator mode can be mixed in an application!
1.4 StealthChop2 & SpreadCycle Driver
StealthChop is a voltage-chopper based principle. It especially guarantees that the motor is absolutely quiet in standstill and in slow motion, except for noise generated by ball bearings. Unlike other voltage mode choppers, StealthChop2 does not require any configuration. It automatically learns the best settings during the first motion after power up and further optimizes the settings in subsequent motions. An initial homing sequence is sufficient for learning. Optionally, initial learning parameters can be stored to OTP. StealthChop2 allows high motor dynamics, by reacting at once to a change of motor velocity. www.trinamic.com
