Ericsson make nice driver (PBL 3776) capable driving up to 5 Amp, 45 V with external MOSFETs. Currently I am designing the XYZ stepper driver for my small mill CNC retrofit. Those chips works like a charm, but don't try to exceed the maximum voltage, I fried two of them when I experimented with power supply for motors. Better to be a bit conservative and use something around 40 V. Also, Ericsson have a lot of PDF files about the stepper problematic on their web site (www.ericsson.se) Best regards PavelK ************************************************************************** * Pavel Korensky * * DATOR3 LAN Services spol. s r.o. * * Modranska 1895/17, 143 00, Prague 4, Czech Republic * * * * PGP Key fingerprint: F3 E1 AE BC 34 18 CB A6 CC D0 DA 9E 79 03 41 D4 * * * * SUMMA SCIENTIA - NIHIL SCIRE * **************************************************************************
