MPS Unveils 35 V Automotive-Grade Stepper Motor Driver

Monolithic Power Systems expands its motor drivers and controllers portfolio with the new MPQ6600L-AEC1. The MPQ6600L-AEC1 is a stepper motor driver with current regulations and a built-in translator. The device provides internal current sensing, which does not require external sense resistors. With high integration and small package size, the MPQ6600L-AEC1 is a space-saving, cost-effective solution for bipolar stepper motor drives.

The MPQ6600L-AEC1 operates from a supply voltage of up to 35 V and can deliver motor currents up to 1.5 A based on the PCB design and thermal conditions. The device can operate a bipolar stepper motor in full-, half-, quarter-, or eighth-step mode.

Internal safety features include over-current protection (OCP), input over-voltage protection (OVP), under-voltage lockout (UVLO), and thermal shutdown.

The MPQ6600L-AEC1 is available in a QFN-24 (4 mm x 4 mm) package with wettable flanks, and it is AEC-Q100 qualified.
