The SLA7075M, SLA7076M, SLA7077M, and SLA7078M motor driver ICs feature 2-phase stepper unipolar drivers. The clock-in type input interface allows simplified control logic, and options for built-in sense current detection and load circuit short or open protection (patent pending) provide lower loss, and lower thermal resistance. All products in the SLA7070M series are pincompatibile, supporting rapid design of application variants. The built-in excitation distribution circuit (sequencer) allows motor control using only the CLOCK signal for simple operations (rotate/stop), with motor speed control by frequency input into CLOCK pin. This eliminates logic signal lines required for conventional phase-input methods, and reduces demand on heavily-used CPUs.
