HIGH CURRENT UNIPOLAR STEPPER MOTOR CONTROLLER

High Current Unipolar Stepper Motor Controller project is based on chopper drive. Chopper drive allows for use of
higher voltage power supply for better performance and higher speed. It uses SGS Thomson's L297 IC and TIP142
transistor.

Logic supply : 5 VDC @ 300 mA

Motor Supply : 8 to 30 VDC

Connection via 10-pin Box Header for easy interface with any microcontroller development boards

External or internal voltage reference option via jumper

Onboard preset for current adjustment

High speed switching diodes for transistor protection

Power-On LED indicator for both the supplies

Screw terminal connector for easy supplies and motor connection

Heat sink included

Four mounting holes 3.2 mm each

PCB dimensions 110 mm x 53 mm
