ELM313 Stepper Motor Controller
Description
The ELM313 is an interface circuit for use between high speed logic and four phase stepper motor driver circuits. All of the logic required to provide stepping in two directions is contained in this one 8 pin package. This circuit supports only the full-step two phase mode of operation. This mode provides sequential phase control output signals for driving a variety of motors. In this mode, two phases are always energized, providing several advantages over single phase full (wave) stepping, at the cost of higher power consumption by the motor. The ELM313 can be controlled by a wide variety of circuits, due to its fully static operation. In addition to using high speed microprocessor control, suitably debounced mechanical switches or continuously running oscillator circuits could also be used.

ELM313
Pin Descriptions
VDD (pin 1) This pin is the positive supply pin, and should always be the most positive point in the circuit. Internal circuitry connected to this pin is used to provide power on reset of the microprocessor, so an external reset signal is not required. Refer to the Electrical Characteristics section for further information. A (pin 2) This is the active high output drive signal for the (first) phase A winding. Normally, this output (and the D output) would be the first to be energized when starting a stepping sequence, and is always the first state entered into internally on powerup. After powerup, however, the ELM313 treats this initial state specially, maintaining both A and D outputs at a low level until the first step command is received. This in effect keeps the motor off until selected by control circuitry. Dir (pin 3) This pin determines the sequence that the outputs will be energized in. A high input on the Dir pin while the step input is pulsed will cause a single clockwise step, while a low level will cause a counter-clockwise step. (Refer to Figures 1 & 2). Dir must be at a stable level prior to the low to high transition of Step in order to be recognized (refer to the Tsu specification). Step (pin 4) This input is used to control the motion of the motor. Outputs will change to their next state on the high to low transition of this input. Step is normally maintained at a low level, and is only brought high then low to cause a step to occur. The Step input is ignored for about 20ms after power-up to allow sufficient time for external circuits to stabilize. D (pin 5) This is the active high output drive signal for the (fourth) phase D winding. This pin is treated specially at powerup - refer to the discussion for the A output. C (pin 6) This is the active high output drive signal for the (third) phase C winding. B (pin 7) This is the active high output drive signal for the (second) phase B winding. VSS (pin 8) Circuit common is connected to this pin. This is the most negative point in the circuit.

Notes:
1. This integrated circuit is produced with a Microchip Technology Inc.'s PIC12C5XX as the core embedded microcontroller. For further device specifications, and possibly clarification of those given, please refer to the appropriate Microchip documentation. 2. This spec must be met in order to ensure that a correct power on reset occurs. It is quite easily achieved using most common types of supplies, but may be violated if one uses a slowly varying supply voltage, as may be obtained through direct connection to solar cells, or some charge pump circuits. 3. This IC is uses CMOS technology so input currents to the logic are negligible. Each input does have internal diode protection circuits, however, which may cause up to 1A of leakage currents to flow. 4. Operation of the ELM313 is completely static, so there is no maximum time for any of these parameters. Each of the values is graphically displayed in Figure 1 on page 4. 5. The Step input will initially be blocked for this time, to allow external circuits time to stabilize.

Example Application
Figure 3 shows the ELM313 used in a circuit to control a four phase stepper motor. The motor shown here is typical of the type often found in computer disk drives, and are readily available on the surplus market. This particular motor requires +12V at 160mA per phase to operate, and has a resolution of 3.6 per step. Momentary action pushbuttons are used as control inputs in this case. This allows the user to experiment with the operation of the motor. An ELM410 is used to debounce the switches, so that the mechanical bouncing of the switches does not cause multiple steps of the motor armature. Both integrated circuits are powered from a 5 volt supply, not shown on this diagram. This supply could be derived from the 12V for the motor, but is not necessarily, as the user may want to separate the two due to noise from the motor. The motor is directly driven by IRF511 power MOSFETS in this design, because they were readily available, but many other devices would be suitable. The main criteria, as well as voltage and current capabilities, is that the MOSFET be fully switched by the logic signal available (in this case 5V). Some of the `logic level' HEXFETs would be well suited in this case (IRLZ14 or IRL510 for example). The main advantages of power MOSFETs over bipolar types are their ability to be driven directly from CMOS logic, and their inherent reverse biased diode * G W connected from Drain to Source internally. This diode helps to control inductive kick-back when a winding is deenergized. Optional resistors (50-100) are shown in the circuit to dampen resonances due to wiring inductance and gate capacitance. They should be used if the transistors are mounted any more than a few inches from the ELM313. Operation of the circuit is straight-forward. The motor advances one step each time the step button is released. If the clockwise input is also pressed, the windings will be energized in the order DA-AB-BC-CD. Recall that when power is first applied, no winding is energized, to provide a means to sequence the start-up of several motors in larger systems. For this reason, no output will appear until the first step command is issued. This circuit demonstrates the operation of a stepper motor, and can easily be modified for further experimentation. One change that could be made is the addition of an oscillator in the place of the ELM410, to provide continuous motion. Another might be the direct connection of the ELM313 to a computer port for robotics, and the incorporation of sensors for feedback to the computer.
