Connect the test setup as shown above. 2. Set it according to the following specifications. Supply Voltage • • • VCC (2.7 to 5.5V): Logic Supply for LSI VM (9 to 35V): Power Supply for LSI VREF (0 to 3V): Const. Current Control for Reference Voltage Toggle Switch State • • • Upper Side: High (VDD) Middle: Open, enable to external logic input Lower Side: Low (GND) Operations Guide 1. Initial Condition Setting: Set “Open” the toggle switch STP/D22, and “Open or Low” the other switches. 2. Motor Connection: Connect the Motors between OUT1A and OUT1B, between OUT2A and OUT2B. 3. Power Supply: Supply DC voltage to VCC, VM, and VREF. 4. Ready for Operation from Standby State: Turn “High” the ST terminal toggle switch. After some time passes, turn “High” the OE terminal toggle switch. Channel 1 and 2 are into full-step initial position (100%, -100%). 5. Motor Operation: Turn “High” the RST terminal toggle switch. Input the clock signal into the terminal STP/DC22. 6. Other Setting: (See Application Note for detail) i. ATT1, ATT2: Motor current attenuation. ii. EMM: Short circuit protection mode change. iii. RST: Initial Mode. iv. FR/DC21: Motor rotation direction (CW/CCW) setting. v. MD1/DC11, MD2/DC12: Excitation mode. vi. OE: Output Enable. 3. Check VREG5 and VG terminal voltage at multimeter. 4. Check the STEP/DC22 and MONI terminal voltage at scope CH1 and CH2, and the output current waveform at scope CH3 and CH4.

Current Control for Reference Voltage VDD (2 to 5V): Logic “High” voltage for toggle switch Toggle Switch State • • • Upper Side: High (VDD) Middle: Open, enable to external logic input Lower Side: Low (GND) Operations Guide 1. Initial Condition Setting: Set “Open” the toggle switch DM, and “Open or Low” the other switches. 2. Motor Connection: Connect the Motor(s) between OUT1A and OUT1B, between OUT2A and OUT2B. 3. Power Supply: Supply DC voltage to VM, VREF and VDD. 4. Ready for Operation from Standby State: Turn “High” the ST and DM terminal toggle switch. 5. Motor Operation: Set MD1/DC11, MD2/DC12, FR/DC21, and STEP/DC22 terminals according to the purpose. 6. Other Setting: (See Application Note for detail) i. ATT1, ATT2: Motor current attenuation. ii. EMM: Short circuit protection mode change. iii. RST: Not performed. iv. OE: Output enable. 3. Check VREG5 and VG terminal voltage at multimeter. 4. Check the MD2/DC12, OUT1A, and OUT1B terminal voltage at scope CH1, CH2, and CH3, and the output current waveform at scope CH4. 5. Switch to channel 2(STEP/DC22, OUT2A, OUT2B) as well as channel 1(MD2/DC12, OUT1A, OUT1B) and measure it.
