dSPIN: breakthrough in motor control
 ST is universally acknowledged as
one of the leading semiconductor
suppliers for motor control applications
 ST is a pioneer and leader in smart
power monolithic and integrated
solutions for motor driver applications
dSPIN represents the breakthrough solution
for stepper motors in terms of performance
with fast & easy design
The 3 key benefits of dSPIN
Voltage mode
driving
Outstanding position accuracy & smooth motion:
- Resolution up to 128 microsteps/step
- Very accurate sine-wave profile
Digital core
Fully digital motion management:
- User-defined motion profiles easily programmable
through SPI interface
- No need of complex MCU routines
Full set of
protection
features
High level of robustness against system faults:
- Thermal, low bus voltage, overcurrent,
stall detection
- Easy design, reduced external components


Innovative voltage mode driving
Resolution up to 128 steps/step
Very accurate and smooth sine-wave profile
Reduced resonances, mechanical noise
and vibrations at low speed
Reduced torque and speed ripple at low
speeds
Outstanding position resolution and smooth motion
Standard current mode – more details
1. Abrupt current changes cause high mechanical vibrations
2. Peak current is
Current mode tries to follow even non –ideal steps (reference
voltage quantization and sampling)
Noisy and jerky motion
controlled; average
current value is different
from target
Inaccurate positioning
3. Non-constant switching frequency
Torque ripple and EMI are difficult to control
dSPIN innovative control – more details
Smooth current transient reduces
mechanical vibrations
Motor movement is soft and silent
Constant switching frequency
Torque ripple and EMI are controlled
Average current is controlled
Accurate positioning

128 µsteps/ step is the best motion resolution ever
reached in monolithic stepper motor drivers
Smoothness of motion is like never before
All with a single chip, avoiding more expensive and
space consuming discrete solutions
Fully digital motion control allows the user to set a variety
of features: target speed, acceleration/ deceleration,
absolute and relative position, just to name a few
SPI interface allows user to easily insert desired
parameters with no need for external microcontroller
A full set of protection functions confers robustness to
the system and helps to further reduce the number of
external components, the cost and complexity
