The EDE1200 is capable of self-clocking in the free-standing 'RUN' mode, as well as external clocking in the 'STEP' mode. In addition, half-stepping and directional control are also available. The TTL-level outputs sequence the stepper drive circuits that consist of standard power transistors or a transistor array IC. The EDE1200 features the ability to change the stepping rate while the motor is stepping and to take an unlimited number of steps in continuous 'RUN' mode. Inputs are TTL/ CMOS compatible. RUN mode In the 'RUN' mode, activated by a low on pin 10, the EDE1200 will cause the motor to rotate according to the following parameters: Direction (pin 7): 1 = clockwise, 0 = counter-clockwise (If a clockwise command causes counterclockwise rotation of motor, reverse the sequence of the motor’s four phase wires.) Half-Stepping (pin 8): 1 = normal stepping, 0 = half stepping (doubles step resolution) Speed Control [C,B,A] (pins 13,12,11): these three active-low bits select one of eight rotational speeds.

The following chart depicts revolutions per second for a 1.8 º stepper motor in relation to the three speed selection bits for both full and half stepping. Please note that the speed increase is nonlinear; i.e. finer speed control is available at slower step speeds. Again, indicated speeds are approximate and may vary with oscillator frequency.

The RUN (pin 10) line must be left high. Each low-going pulse on the STEP (pin 9) line causes a movement of the motor according to the Direction and Half-step pins as specified below: Direction (pin 7): 1 = clockwise, 0 = counter-clockwise (If a clockwise command causes counterclockwise rotation of motor, reverse the sequence of the motor’s four phase wires.) Half-Stepping (pin 8): 1 = normal stepping, 0 = half stepping (doubles step resolution) With the EDE1200 running at an external clock speed of 4 MHz, the 'STEP' pin may be driven at speeds up to 5 KHz, resulting in a motor speed over 1,500 RPM with a 1.8 º per step motor . All stepper motors require ramped acceleration to such high RPM rates; do not instantly apply high speed step requests immediately to a stopped motor. Motor type and load will determine maximum acceleration rate. However, ordinary speed ranges (such as the EDE1200’s ‘RUN’ mode speeds) do not require a ramped acceleration. Free-Spin Holding the free-spin input (pin 6) low causes the EDE1200 to de-activate all motor coils. During ordinary operation (step and run modes) the motor is held in position by the ‘braking’ effect inherent in all stepper motors. Activating this active-low input allows the motor spindle to spin freely without the braking effect. Braking effect is resumed when free-spin input (pin 6) is raised.
