Stepper Motor Chopping Driver

Stepper Motor Chopping Driver Thursday, October 1st, 2009  »  Posted By  »  Total 1 Comment

Chopper drive circuits Chopper drive circuits are also referred to as constant current drives because they generate a somewhat constant current in each winding rather than applying a constant voltage. On each new step, a very high voltage is applied to the winding initially. This causes the current in the winding to rise quickly since [...]
