ST6610 2.5A 36V 256-Microstep Silent Two-Phase Stepper Motor Driver

ST6610

The ST6610 is an ultra-silent two-phase stepper motor driver IC with a built-in step driving mode of up to 256 microsteps, featuring ultra-low noise and low vibration. Operating over a wide 4.2~36V supply range, it delivers up to 2.5A RMS current per phase and 5A peak current, with H-bridge on-resistance of 0.2Ω for each high-side and low-side MOSFET (VBB=24V). Controlled via a standard STEP/DIR interface with MS1/MS2 microstep selection, the chip also provides a UART one-wire interface for status readback and power-down control; an integrated automatic gain control (AGC) loop automatically compensates torque for variable loads across a wide speed range, with automatic power saving during motor hold (current reduced to 50%). Comprehensive protection includes over-temperature (156℃, 26℃ hysteresis), under-voltage, output short-circuit and over-current protection, with FLAG1 diagnostic output and FLAG2 configurable position pulse output, a built-in 5V LDO and a charge pump. Housed in an eTSSOP28 package, the ST6610 is widely used in white goods, office machines, 3D printers, medical instruments and PTZ control applications.

Product details

Overview

The ST6610 is an ultra-silent two-phase stepper motor driver IC with a built-in step driving mode of up to 256 microsteps, featuring ultra-low noise and low vibration, ideally suited for high-precision control fields such as 3D printing, medical devices, office equipment and security monitoring. The chip operates over a wide 4.2~36V supply range, delivering up to 2.5A RMS current per phase and 5A peak current. It adopts a standard STEP/DIR interface, with MS1/MS2 selecting the step angle per STEP pulse, and provides a UART one-wire interface supporting unidirectional parameter setting or bidirectional full control and diagnostics, automatically adapting to the master baud rate (9600 Baud to 500k Baud and above) with optional CRC checksum; the built-in automatic gain control (AGC) loop compensates torque decay to keep torque constant over a wide speed range, and the device automatically enters power-saving mode about 400ms after the motor stops, reducing current to 50% of normal. The ST6610 provides comprehensive output protection including over-temperature, under-voltage, output short-circuit and over-current protection, plus FLAG1 diagnostic output and FLAG2 configurable position pulse output, with a built-in 5V LDO and charge pump. Housed in an eTSSOP28 package, the ST6610 delivers an integrated stepper motor drive solution for high-current, high-precision motion control applications.
