Stepping Examples

The MTS62C19A control modes are full-step, half-

step, modified half-step and microstepping control of

the motor, as shown in Figure 4-2.

PCB Design Guidelines

Unused inputs should be connected to fixed voltage

levels in order to get the highest noise immunity. Typi-

cal PCB layout guidelines for power applications

should be followed. These include separate power

ground planes, supply decoupling capacitors close to

the IC, short connections and use of maximized copper

areas to improve thermal dissipation.
