Description
non-dissipative overcurrent protection. Thanks to
a new current control, a 1/16 microstepping is
achieved through an adaptive decay mode which
outperforms traditional implementations. The
digital control core can generate user defined
motion profiles with acceleration, deceleration,
speed or target position easily programmed
through a dedicated register set. All application
commands and data registers, including those
used to set analog values (i.e. current protection
trip point, deadtime, PWM frequency, etc.) are
sent through a standard 5-Mbit/s SPI. A very rich
set of protections (thermal, low bus voltage,
overcurrent and motor stall) make the L6482
“bullet proof”, as required by the most demanding
motor control applications.
The L6482, realized in analog mixed signal
technology, is an advanced fully integrated
solution suitable for driving two-phase bipolar
stepper motors with microstepping.
It integrates a dual full-bridge gate driver for Nchannel MOSFET power stages with embedded

6.1
Device power-up
During power-up, the device is under reset (all logic IOs disabled and power bridges in high
impedance state) until the following conditions are satisfied:
●
VCC is greater than VCCthOn
●
VBOOT - VS is greater than ΔVBOOTthOn
●
VREG is greater than VREGthOn
●
Internal oscillator is operative
●
STBY/RESET input is forced high.
After power-up, the device state is the following:
●
Parameters are set to default
●
Internal logic is driven by internal oscillator and a 2-MHz clock is provided by the
OSCOUT pin
●
Bridges are disabled (high impedance).
After power-up, a period of tlogicwu must pass before applying a command to allow proper
oscillator and logic startup.
Any movement command makes the device exit from High Z state (HardStop and SoftStop
included).
6.2
Logic I/O
Pins CS, CK, SDI, STCK, SW and STBY/RESET are TTL/CMOS 3.3 V-5 V compatible logic
inputs.
Pin SDO is a TTL/CMOS compatible logic output. VDD pin voltage imposes a logical output
voltage range.
Pins FLAG and BUSY/SYNC are open drain outputs.
SW and CS inputs are internally pulled up to VDD and STBY/RESET input is internally
pulled down to ground.
6.3
Charge pump
To ensure the correct driving of the high-side integrated MOSFETs, a voltage higher than
the motor power supply voltage needs to be applied to the VBOOT pin. The high-side gate
driver supply voltage VBOOT is obtained through an oscillator and a few external
components realizing a charge pump (see Figure 4).

Microstepping
The driver is able to divide the single step into up to 16 microsteps. Stepping mode can be
programmed by the STEP_SEL parameter in the STEP_MODE register (Table 22).
Step mode can only be changed when bridges are disabled. Every time the step mode is
changed, the electrical position (i.e. the point of microstepping sinewave that is generated)
is reset to the first microstep and the absolute position counter value (Section 6.5) becomes
meaningless.

6.4.1
Functional description
Automatic Full-step and Boost modes
When motor speed is greater than a programmable full-step speed threshold, the L6482
switches automatically to Full-step mode; the driving mode returns to microstepping when
motor speed decreases below the full-step speed threshold.
The switching between the microstepping and Full-step mode and vice versa is always
performed at an electrical position multiple of π/4 (Figure 6 and Figure 7).
Full-step speed threshold is set through the related parameter in the FS_SPD register
(Section 9.1.9).
When the BOOST_MODE bit of the FS_SPD register is low (default), the amplitude of the
voltage squarewave in Full-step mode is equal to the peak of the voltage sinewave multiplied
by sine(π/4) (Figure 6). This avoids the current drop between the two driving modes.
When the BOOST_MODE bit of the FS_SPD register is high, the amplitude of the voltage
squarewave in Full-step mode is equal to the peak of the voltage sinewave (Figure 7). That
improves the output current increasing the maximum motor torque.

Absolute position counter
An internal 22-bit register (ABS_POS) records all the motor motions according to the
selected step mode; the stored value unit is equal to the selected step mode (full, half,
quarter, etc.). The position range is from -221 to +221-1 steps (see Section 9.1.1).
6.6
Programmable speed profiles
The user can easily program a customized speed profile defining independently
acceleration, deceleration, and maximum and minimum speed values by ACC, DEC,
MAX_SPEED and MIN_SPEED registers respectively (see Section 9.1.5, 9.1.6, 9.1.7 and
9.1.8).
When a command is sent to the device, the integrated logic generates the microstep
frequency profile that performs a motor motion compliant to speed profile boundaries.
All acceleration parameters are expressed in step/tick2 and all speed parameters are
expressed in step/tick; the unit of measurement does not depend on the selected step
mode. Acceleration and deceleration parameters range from 2-40 to (212-2)• 2-40 step/tick2
(equivalent to 14.55 to 59590 step/s2).
Minimum speed parameter ranges from 0 to (212-1)• 2-24 step/tick (equivalent to 0 to 976.3
step/s).
Maximum speed parameter ranges from 2-18 to (210-1)• 2-18 step/tick (equivalent to 15.25 to
15610 step/s).
6.6.1
Infinite acceleration/deceleration mode
When the ACC register value is set to max. (0xFFF), the system works in “infinite
acceleration mode”: acceleration and deceleration phases are totally skipped, as shown in
Figure 8. It is not possible to skip the acceleration or deceleration phase independently.

6.7.1
Constant speed commands
A constant speed command produces a motion in order to reach and maintain a userdefined target speed starting from the programmed minimum speed (set in the MIN_SPEED
register) and with the programmed acceleration/deceleration value (set in the ACC and DEC
registers). A new constant speed command can be requested anytime.

Functional description
Stop commands
A stop command forces the motor to stop. Stop commands can be sent anytime.
The SoftStop command causes the motor to decelerate with a programmed deceleration
value until the MIN_SPEED value is reached and then stops the motor keeping the rotor
position (a holding torque is applied).
The HardStop command stops the motor instantly, ignoring deceleration constraints and
keeping the rotor position (a holding torque is applied).
The SoftHiZ command causes the motor to decelerate with a programmed deceleration
value until the MIN_SPEED value is reached and then forces the bridges into high
impedance state (no holding torque is present).
The HardHiZ command instantly forces the bridges into high impedance state (no holding
torque is present).
6.7.5
Step-clock mode
In Step-clock mode the motor motion is defined by the step-clock signal applied to the STCK
pin. At each step-clock rising edge, the motor is moved one microstep in the programmed
direction and the absolute position is consequently updated.
When the system is in Step-clock mode, the SCK_MOD flag in the STATUS register is
raised, the SPEED register is set to zero and the motor status is considered stopped
regardless of the STCK signal frequency (the MOT_STATUS parameter in the STATUS
register equal to “00”).
6.7.6
GoUntil and ReleaseSW commands
In most applications the power-up position of the stepper motor is undefined, so an
initialization algorithm driving the motor to a known position is necessary.
The GoUntil and ReleaseSW commands can be used in combination with external switch
input (see Section 6.14) to easily initialize the motor position.
The GoUntil command makes the motor run at target constant speed until the SW input is
forced low (falling edge). When this event occurs, one of the following actions can be
performed:
●
ABS_POS register is set to zero (home position) and the motor decelerates to zero
speed (as a SoftStop command)
●
ABS_POS register value is stored in the MARK register and the motor decelerates to
zero speed (as a SoftStop command).
If the SW_MODE bit of the CONFIG register is set to ‘0’, the motor does not decelerate but
it immediately stops (as a HardStop command).
The ReleaseSW command makes the motor run at a programmed minimum speed until the
SW input is forced high (rising edge). When this event occurs, one of the following actions
can be performed:
●
ABS_POS register is set to zero (home position) and the motor immediately stops (as a
HardStop command)
●
ABS_POS register value is stored in the MARK register and the motor immediately
stops (as a HardStop command).
If the programmed minimum speed is less than 5 step/s, the motor is driven at 5 step/s.

L6482
Internal oscillator and oscillator driver
The control logic clock can be supplied by the internal 16-MHz oscillator, an external
oscillator (crystal or ceramic resonator) or a direct clock signal.
These working modes can be selected by EXT_CLK and OSC_SEL parameters in the
CONFIG register (see Table 35).
At power-up the device starts using the internal oscillator and provides a 2-MHz clock signal
on the OSCOUT pin.
Attention: In any case, before changing clock source configuration, a
hardware reset is mandatory. Switching to different clock
configurations during operation may cause unexpected
behavior.
6.8.1
Internal oscillator
In this mode the internal oscillator is activated and OSCIN is unused. If the OSCOUT clock
source is enabled, the OSCOUT pin provides a 2, 4, 8 or 16-MHz clock signal (according to
OSC_SEL value); otherwise it is unused (see Figure 12).
6.8.2
External clock source
Two types of external clock source can be selected: crystal/ceramic resonator or direct clock
source. Four programmable clock frequencies are available for each external clock source:
8, 16, 24 and 32-MHz.
When an external crystal/resonator is selected, the OSCIN and OSCOUT pins are used to
drive the crystal/resonator (see Figure 12). The crystal/resonator and load capacitors (CL)
must be placed as close as possible to the pins. Refer to Table 8 for the choice of the load
capacitor value according to the external oscillator frequency.

2. Lower ESR value allows greater load capacitors to be driven.
If a direct clock source is used, it must be connected to the OSCIN pin and the OSCOUT pin
supplies the inverted OSCIN signal (see Figure 12).
The L6482 integrates a clock detection system that resets the device in the case of a failure
of the external clock source (direct or crystal/resonator). The monitoring of the clock source
is disabled by default, it can be enabled setting high the WD_EN bit in the GATECFG1

Overcurrent detection
The L6482 measures the load current of each half-bridge sensing the VDS voltage of all the
Power MOSFETs (Figure 13). When any of the VDS voltages rise above the programmed
threshold, the OCD flag in the STATUS register is forced low until the event expires and a
GetStatus command is sent to the device (Section 9.1.21 and Section 9.2.20). The
overcurrent event expires when all the Power MOSFET VDS voltages fall below the
programmed threshold.
The overcurrent threshold can be programmed by the OCD_TH register in one of 32
available values ranging from 31.25 mV to 1 V with steps of 31.25 mV (Table 21,
Section 9.1.17).

It is possible to set, if an overcurrent event causes the bridge turn-off or not, through the
OC_SD bit in the CONFIG register.
When the power bridges are turned off by an overcurrent event, they cannot be turned on
until the OCD flag is released by a GetStatus command.

Undervoltage lockout (UVLO)
The L6482 provides a programmable gate driver supply voltage UVLO protection. When
one of the supply voltages of the gate driver (VCC for the low sides and VBOOT - VS for the
high sides) falls below the respective turn-off threshold, an undervoltage event occurs. In
this case, all gates are immediately turned off and the UVLO flag in the STATUS register is
forced low.
The UVLO flag is forced low and the gates are kept off until the gate driver supply voltages
return to above the respective turn-on threshold; in this case the undervoltage event expires
and the UVLO flag can be released through a GetStatus command.
The UVLO thresholds can be selected between two sets according to the UVLOVAL bit
value in the CONFIG register.

VS undervoltage lockout (UVLO_ADC)
The device provides an undervoltage signal of the integrated ADC input voltage (the
UVLO_ADC flag in the STATUS register). When VADCIN falls below the VADC,UVLO value, the
UVLO_ADC flag is forced low and it is kept in this state until the ADCIN voltage is greater
than VADC,UVLO and a GetStatus command is sent to the device.
The ADCIN undervoltage event does not turn off the gates of the power bridges.
The motor supply voltage undervoltage detection can be performed by means of this
feature, connecting the ADCIN pin to VS through a voltage divider.
6.12
Thermal warning and thermal shutdown
An integrated sensor allows detection of the internal temperature and implementation of a 3level protection.
When the Tj(WRN)Set threshold is reached, a warning signal is generated. This is the thermal
warning condition and it expires when the temperature falls below the Tj(WRN)Rel threshold.
When the Tj(OFF)Set threshold is reached, all the gates are turned off and the gate driving
circuitry is disabled (Miller clamps are still operative). This condition expires when the
temperature falls below the Tj(OFF)Rel threshold.
When the Tj(SD)OFF threshold is reached, all the gates are turned off using Miller clamps, the
internal VCC voltage regulator is disabled and the current capability of the internal VREG
voltage regulator is reduced (thermal shutdown). In this condition, logic is still active (if
supplied). The thermal shutdown condition only expires when the temperature goes below
Tj(SD)ON.
The thermal condition of the device is shown by TH_STATUS bits in the STATUS register
(Table 10).

Reset and standby
The device can be reset and put into Standby mode through the STBY/RESET pin. When it
is forced low, all the gates are turned off (High Z state), the charge pump is stopped, the SPI
interface and control logic are disabled and the internal VREG voltage regulator maximum
output current is limited; as a result, the L6482 heavily reduces the power consumption. At
the same time the register values are reset to their default and all the protection functions
are disabled. The STBY/RESET input must be forced low at least for tSTBY,min in order to
ensure the complete switch to Standby mode.
On exiting Standby mode, as well as for IC power-up, a delay must be given before applying
a new command to allow proper oscillator and charge pump startup. Actual delay could vary
according to the values of the charge pump external components.
On exiting Standby mode all the gates are off and the HiZ flag is high.
The registers can be reset to the default values without putting the device into Standby
mode through the ResetDevice command (Section 9.2.15).
6.14
External switch (SW pin)
The SW input is internally pulled up to VDD and detects if the pin is open or connected to
ground (see Figure 14).
The SW_F bit of the STATUS register indicates if the switch is open (‘0’) or closed (‘1’)
(Section 9.1.21); the bit value is refreshed at every system clock cycle (125 ns). The
SW_EVN flag of the STATUS register is raised when a switch turn-on event (SW input falling
edge) is detected (Section 9.1.21). A GetStatus command releases the SW_EVN flag
(Section 9.2.20).
By default, a switch turn-on event causes a HardStop interrupt (SW_MODE bit of the
CONFIG register set to ‘0’). Otherwise (SW_MODE bit of the CONFIG register set to ‘1’),

The switch input can be used by GoUntil and ReleaseSW commands as described in

Programmable gate drivers
The L6482 integrates eight programmable gate drivers that allow the fitting of a wide range
of applications.
The following parameters can be adjusted:
●
gate sink/source current (IGATE)
●
controlled current time (tCC)
●
turn-off overboost time (tOB).
During turn-on, the gate driver charges the gate forcing an IGATE current for all the controlled
current time period. At the end of the controlled current phase the gate of the external
MOSFET should be completely charged, otherwise the gate driving circuitry continues to
charge it using a holding current.
This current is equal to IGATE for the low-side gate drivers and 1 mA for the high-side ones.
During turn-off, the gate driver discharges the gate sinking an IGATE current for all the
controlled current time period. At the beginning of turn-off an overboost phase can be
added: in this case the gate driver sinks an IOB current for the programmed tOB period in
order to rapidly reach the plateau region. At the end of the controlled current time the gate of
the external MOSFET should be completely charged, otherwise the gate driving circuitry
discharges it using the integrated Miller clamp.

The gate current can be set to one of the following values: 4, 8, 16, 24, 32, 64 and 96 mA
through the IGATE parameter in the GATECFG1 register (see Section 9.1.18).
Controlled current time can be programmed within range from 125 ns to 3.75 μs with a
resolution of 125 ns (TCC parameter in the GATECFG1 register) (see Section 9.1.18).
Turn-off overboost time can be set to one of the following values: 0, 62.5, 125, 250 ns
(TBOOST parameter in the GATECFG1 register). The 62.5 ns value is only available when
clock frequency is 16 MHz or 32 MHz; when clock frequency is 8 MHz it is changed to 125
ns and when a 24-MHz clock is used it is changed to 83.3 ns. (see Section 9.1.18).
6.16
Deadtime and blanking time
During the bridge commutation, a deadtime is added in order to avoid cross conductions.
The deadtime can be programmed within a range from 125 ns to 4 μs with a resolution of
125 ns (TDT parameter in the GATECFG2 register) (see Section 9.1.19).
At the end of each commutation the overcurrent and stall detection comparators are
disabled (blanking) in order to avoid the respective systems detecting body diode turn-off
current peaks.
The duration of blanking time is programmable through the TBLANK parameter in the
GATECFG2 register at one of the following values: 125, 250, 375, 500, 625, 750, 875, 1000
ns (see Section 9.1.19).
6.17
Integrated analog-to-digital converter
The L6482 integrates an NADC bit ramp-compare analog-to-digital converter with a
reference voltage equal to VREG. The analog-to-digital converter input is available through
the ADCIN pin and the conversion result is available in the ADC_OUT register
(Section 9.1.14).
The ADC_OUT value can be used for torque regulation or can be at the user’s disposal.

Supply management and internal voltage regulators
The L6482 integrates two linear voltage regulators: the first one can be used to obtain gate
driver supply starting from a higher voltage (e.g. the motor supply one). Its output voltage
can be set to 7.5 V or 15 V according to the VCCVAL bit value (CONFIG register). The
second linear voltage regulator can be used to obtain the 3.3 V logic supply voltage.
The regulators are designed to supply the internal circuitry of the IC and should not be used
to supply external components.
The input and output voltages of both regulators are connected to external pins and the
regulators are totally independent: in this way a very flexible supply management can be
performed using external components or external supply voltages (Figure 16).

If VCC is externally supplied, the VSREG and VCC pins must be shorted (VSREG must be

If VREG is externally supplied, the VCCREG and VREG pins must be shorted and equal to
3.3 V.
VSREG must be always less than VBOOT in order to avoid related ESD protection diode turnon. The device can be protected from this event by adding an external low drop diode
between the VSREG and VS pins, charge pump diodes should be low drop too.
VCCREG must be always less than VCC in order to avoid ESD protection diode turn-on. The
device can be protected from this event by adding an external low drop diode between the
VCCREG and VSREG pins.
Both regulators provide a short-circuit protection limiting the load current within the
respective maximum ratings.

This pin is an open drain output which can be used as busy flag or synchronization signal

By default, an internal open drain transistor pulls the FLAG pin to ground when at least one

●
Power-up or standby/reset exit
●
Overcurrent detection
●

It is possible to mask one or more alarm conditions by programming the ALARM_EN
register (see Section 9.1.17 Table 26). If the corresponding bit of the ALARM_EN register is
low, the alarm condition is masked and it does not cause a FLAG pin transition; all other
actions imposed by alarm conditions are performed anyway. In case of daisy chain
configuration, FLAG pins of different ICs can be OR-wired to save host controller GPIOs.

Phase current control
Phase current control
The L6482 performs a new current control technique, named predictive current control,
allowing the device to obtain the target average phase current. This method is described in
detail in Section 7.1. Furthermore, the L6482 automatically selects the better decay mode in
order to follow the current profile.
Current control algorithm parameters can be programmed by T_FAST, TON_MIN,
TOFF_MIN and CONFIG registers (see Section 9.1.11, 9.1.12, 9.1.13 and 9.1.20 for
details).
Different current amplitude can be set for acceleration, deceleration and constant speed
phases and when the motor is stopped through TVAL_ACC, TVAL_DEC, TVAL_RUN and
TVAL_HOLD registers (see Section 9.1.10). The output current amplitude can also be
regulated by the ADCIN voltage value (see Section 7.4).
Each bridge is driven by an independent control system that shares with the other bridge the
control parameters only.
7.1
Predictive current control
Unlike classical peak current control systems, that make the phase current decay when the
target value is reached, this new method keeps the power bridge ON for an extra time after
reaching the current threshold.
At each cycle the system measures the time required to reach the target current (tSENSE).
After that the power stage is kept in a “predictive” ON state (tPRED) for a time equal to the
mean value of tSENSE in the last two control cycles (actual one and previous one), as
shown in Figure 17.

At the end of the predictive ON state the power stage is set in OFF state for a fixed time, as
in a constant tOFF current control. During the OFF state both slow and fast decay can be
performed; the better decay combination is automatically selected by the L6482, as
described in Section 7.2.
Doc ID 023768 Rev 2
35/73
Phase current control
L6482
As shown in Figure 17, the system is able to center the triangular wave on the desired
reference value, improving dramatically the accuracy of the current control system: in fact
the average value of a triangular wave is exactly equal to the middle point of each of its
segment and at steady-state the predictive current control tends to equalize the duration of
the tSENSE and the tPRED time.
Furthermore, the tOFF value is recalculated each time a new current value is requested
(microstep change) in order to keep the PWM frequency as near as possible to the
programmed one (TSW parameter in the CONFIG register).
The device can be forced to work using classic peak current control setting low the
PRED_EN bit in the CONFIG register (default condition). In this case, after the sense phase
(tSENSE) the power stage is set in OFF state, as shown in Figure 18.

Auto-adjusted decay mode
During the current control, the device automatically selects the better decay mode in order
to follow the current profile reducing the current ripple.
At reset, the off-time is performed turning on both the low-side MOS of the power stage and
the current recirculates in the lower half of the bridge (slow decay).
If, during a PWM cycle, the target current threshold is reached in a time shorter than the
TON_MIN value, a fast decay of TOFF_FAST/8 (T_FAST register) is immediately performed
turning on the opposite MOS of both half-bridges and the current recirculates back to the
supply bus.
After this time, the bridge returns to ON state: if the time needed to reach the target current
value is still less than TON_MIN, a new fast decay is performed with a period twice the
previous one. Otherwise, the normal control sequence is followed as described in
Section 7.1. The maximum fast decay duration is set by the TOFF_FAST value.

AM15050v1
When two or more fast decays are performed with the present target current, the control
system adds a fast decay at the end of every off-time keeping the OFF state duration
constant (tOFF is split into tOFF, SLOW and tOFF, FAST). When the current threshold is
increased by a microstep change (rising step), the system returns to normal decay mode
(slow decay only) and the tFAST value is halved.
Stopping the motor or reaching the current sinewave zero crossing causes the current
control system to return to the reset state.

Auto-adjusted fast decay during the falling steps
When the target current is decreased by a microstep change (falling step), the device
performs a fast decay in order to reach the new value as fast as possible. However,
exceeding the fast duration could cause a strong ripple on the step change. The L6482
automatically adjusts these fast decays reducing the current ripple.
At reset the fast decay value (tFALL) is set to FALL_STEP/4 (T_FAST register). The tFALL
value is doubled every time, within the same falling step, an extra fast decay is necessary to
obtain an on-time greater than TON_MIN (see Section 9.1.12). The maximum tFALL value is
equal to FALL_STEP.
At the next falling step, the system uses the last tFALL value of the previous falling step.
Stopping the motor or reaching the current sinewave zero crossing causes the current
control system to return to the reset state.

Torque regulation (output current amplitude regulation)
The phase currents are monitored through two shunt resistors (one for each power bridge)
connected to the respective sense pin (see Figure 22). The integrated comparator
compares the sense resistor voltage with the internal reference generated using the peak
value, which is proportional to the output current amplitude, and the microstepping code.
The comparison result is provided to the logic in order to implement the current control
algorithm as described in previous sections.
The peak reference voltage can be regulated in two ways: writing TVAL_ACC, TVAL_DEC,
TVAL_RUN and TVAL_HOLD registers or varying the ADCIN voltage value.
The EN_TQREG bit (CONFIG register) sets the torque regulation method. If this bit is high,
ADC_OUT prevalue is used to regulate output current amplitude (see Table 20,
Section 9.1.14). Otherwise the internal analog-to-digital converter is at the user’s disposal
and the output current amplitude is managed by TVAL_HOLD, TVAL_RUN, TVAL_ACC and
TVAL_DEC registers (see Table 14, Section 9.1.10).
The voltage applied to the ADCIN pin is sampled at fS frequency and converted in an NADC
bit digital signal. The analog-to-digital conversion result is available in the ADC_OUT
register.

Serial interface
Serial interface
The integrated 8-bit serial peripheral interface (SPI) is used for a synchronous serial
communication between the host microprocessor (always master) and the L6482 (always
slave).
The SPI uses chip select (CS), serial clock (CK), serial data input (SDI) and serial data
output (SDO) pins. When CS is high the device is unselected and the SDO line is inactive
(high impedance).
The communication starts when CS is forced low. The CK line is used for synchronization of
data communication.
All commands and data bytes are shifted into the device through the SDI input, most
significant bit first. The SDI is sampled on the rising edges of the CK.
All output data bytes are shifted out of the device through the SDO output, most significant
bit first. The SDO is latched on the falling edges of the CK. When a return value from the
device is not available, an all zero byte is sent.
After each byte transmission the CS input must be raised and be kept high for at least tdisCS
in order to allow the device to decode the received command and put the return value into
the shift register.
All timing requirements are shown in Figure 23 (see Section 3 for values).
Multiple devices can be connected in daisy chain configuration, as shown in Figure 24.

The MARK register contains an absolute position called MARK, according to the selected
step mode; the stored value unit is equal to the selected step mode (full, half, quarter, etc.).
It is in 2's complement format and it ranges from -221 to +221-1.
9.1.4
SPEED
The SPEED register contains the current motor speed, expressed in step/tick (format
unsigned fixed point 0.28).
In order to convert the SPEED value in step/s, the following formula can be used:
Equation 1
– 28
SPEED ⋅ 2
[ step/s ] = ---------------------------------------tick
where SPEED is the integer number stored in the register and tick is 250 ns.
The available range is from 0 to 15625 step/s with a resolution of 0.015 step/s.
Note:
The range effectively available to the user is limited by the MAX_SPEED parameter.
Any attempt to write the register causes the command to be ignored and the
NOTPERF_CMD flag to rise (Section 9.1.21).
9.1.5

ACC ⋅ 2
[ step/s ] = ------------------------------2
tick
where ACC is the integer number stored in the register and tick is 250 ns.
The available range is from 14.55 to 59590 step/s2 with a resolution of 14.55 step/s2.
When the ACC value is set to 0xFFF, the device works in infinite acceleration mode.
Any attempt to write to the register when the motor is running causes the command to be
ignored and the NOTPERF_CMD flag to rise (Section 9.1.21).

9.1.7
MAX_SPEED
The MAX_SPEED register contains the speed profile maximum speed expressed in
step/tick (format unsigned fixed point 0.18).
In order to convert it in step/s, the following formula can be used:
Equation 4
– 18
MAX_SPEED ⋅ 2
[ step/s ] = -------------------------------------------------------tick
where MAX_SPEED is the integer number stored in the register and tick is 250 ns.

FS_SPD
The FS_SPD threshold speed value over which the step mode is automatically switched to
full-step two-phase on. Its value is expressed in step/tick (format unsigned fixed point 0.18)
and to convert it in step/s the following formula can be used:
Equation 6
– 18
( FS_SPD + 0.5 ) ⋅ 2
[ step/s ] = -------------------------------------------------------------tick
If FS_SPD value is set to hFF (max.) the system always works in Microstepping mode
(SPEED must go over the threshold to switch to Full-step mode). Setting FS_SPD to zero
does not have the same effect as setting the step mode to full-step two-phase on: the zero
FS_SPD value is equivalent to a speed threshold of about 7.63 step/s.
The available range is from 7.63 to 15625 step/s with a resolution of 15.25 step/s.
The BOOST_MODE bit sets the amplitude of the voltage squarewave during the full-step
operation (see Section 6.4.1).

Every time the step mode is changed, the electrical position (i.e. the point of microstepping
sinewave that is generated) is reset to the first microstep.
Warning:
Every time STEP_SEL is changed, the value in the ABS_POS
register loses meaning and should be reset.
Any attempt to write the register when the motor is running causes the command to be
ignored and the NOTPERF_CMD flag to rise (see Section 9.1.21).
When the SYNC_EN bit is set low, the BUSY/SYNC output is forced low during the
command execution, otherwise, when the SYNC_EN bit is set high, the BUSY/SYNC output
provides a clock signal according to the SYNC_SEL parameter.

When the HiZ flag is high it indicates that the bridges are in high impedance state. Any
motion command causes the device to exit from High Z state (HardStop and SoftStop
included), unless error flags forcing a High Z state are active.
The UVLO flag is active low and is set by an undervoltage lockout or reset events (power-up
included).
The UVLO_ADC flag is active low and indicates an ADC undervoltage event.
The OCD flag is active low and indicates an overcurrent detection event.
The CMD_ERROR flag is active high and indicates that the command received by SPI can't
be performed or does not exist at all.
The SW_F reports the SW input status (low for open and high for closed).
The SW_EVN flag is active high and indicates a switch turn-on event (SW input falling
edge).

UVLO, UVLO_ADC, OCD, CMD_ERROR, SW_EVN and TH_STATUS bits are latched:
when the respective conditions make them active (low or high) they remain in that state until
a GetStatus command is sent to the IC.
The BUSY bit reflects the BUSY pin status. The BUSY flag is low when a constant speed,
positioning or motion command is under execution and is released (high) after the command
has been completed.
The STCK_MOD bit is an active high flag indicating that the device is working in Step-clock
mode. In this case the step-clock signal should be provided through the STCK input pin.

Command management
The host microcontroller can control motor motion and configure the L6482 through a
complete set of commands.
All commands are composed by a single byte. After the command byte, some bytes of
arguments should be needed (see Figure 25). Argument length can vary from 1 to 3 bytes.

By default, the device returns an all zero response for any received byte, the only exceptions
are GetParam and GetStatus commands. When one of these commands is received, the
following response bytes represent the related register value (see Figure 26). Response
length can vary from 1 to 3 bytes.

During response transmission, new commands can be sent. If a command requiring a
response is sent before the previous response is completed, the response transmission is
aborted and the new response is loaded into the output communication buffer (see

The SetParam command sets the PARAM register value equal to VALUE; PARAM is the
respective register address listed in Table 11.
The command should be followed by the new register VALUE (most significant byte first).
The number of bytes composing the VALUE argument depends on the length of the target
register (see Table 11).
Some registers cannot be written (see Table 11); any attempt to write one of those registers
causes the command to be ignored and the WRONG_CMD flag to rise at the end of the
command byte, as if an unknown command code were sent (see Section 9.1.21).
Some registers can only be written in particular conditions (see Table 11); any attempt to
write one of those registers when the conditions are not satisfied causes the command to be
ignored and the NOTPERF_CMD flag to rise at the end of the last argument byte (see
Section 9.1.21).
Any attempt to set an inexistent register (wrong address value) causes the command to be
ignored and the WRONG_CMD flag to rise at the end of the command byte as if an
unknown command code were sent.

This command reads the current PARAM register value; PARAM is the respective register
address listed in Table 11.
The command response is the current value of the register (most significant byte first). The
number of bytes composing the command response depends on the length of the target
register (see Table 11).
The returned value is the register one at the moment of GetParam command decoding. If
register values change after this moment, the response is not updated accordingly.
All registers can be read anytime.
Any attempt to read an inexistent register (wrong address value) causes the command to be
ignored and the WRONG_CMD flag to rise at the end of the command byte as if an
unknown command code were sent.

Note:
The SPD value should be lower than MAX_SPEED and greater than MIN_SPEED,
otherwise the Run command is executed at MAX_SPEED or MIN_SPEED respectively.

The StepClock command switches the device in Step-clock mode (Section 6.7.5) and
imposes the forward (DIR = '1') or reverse (DIR = '0') direction.
When the device is in Step-clock mode, the SCK_MOD flag in the STATUS register is raised
and the motor is always considered stopped (Section 6.7.5 and 9.1.21).
The device exits Step-clock mode when a constant speed, absolute positioning or motion
command is sent through SPI. Motion direction is imposed by the respective StepClock

command argument and can by changed by a new StepClock command without exiting
Step-clock mode.
Events that cause bridges to be forced into high impedance state (overtemperature,
overcurrent, etc.) do not cause the device to leave Step-clock mode.
The StepClock command does not force the BUSY flag low. This command can only be
given when the motor is stopped. If a motion is in progress, the motor should be stopped
and it is then possible to send a StepClock command.
Any attempt to perform a StepClock command when the motor is running causes the
command to be ignored and the NOTPERF_CMD flag to rise (Section 9.1.21).

The move command produces a motion of N_STEP microsteps; the direction is selected by
the DIR bit ('1' forward or '0' reverse).
The N_STEP value is always in agreement with the selected step mode; the parameter
value unit is equal to the selected step mode (full, half, quarter, etc.).
This command keeps the BUSY flag low until the target number of steps is performed. This
command can only be performed when the motor is stopped. If a motion is in progress the
motor must be stopped and it is then possible to perform a move command.
Any attempt to perform a move command when the motor is running causes the command

the ABS_POS register is reset (if ACT = '0') or the ABS_POS register value is copied into
the MARK register (if ACT = '1'); the system then performs a SoftStop command.
The SPD value is expressed in step/tick (format unsigned fixed point 0.28) that is the same
format as the SPEED register (Section 9.1.4).
The SPD value should be lower than MAX_SPEED and greater than MIN_SPEED,
otherwise the target speed is imposed at MAX_SPEED or MIN_SPEED respectively.

If the SW_MODE bit of the CONFIG register is set low, the external switch turn-on event
causes a HardStop interrupt instead of the SoftStop one (Section 6.14 and Section 9.1.20).

'1'); the system then performs a HardStop command.
Note that, resetting the ABS_POS register is equivalent to setting the HOME position.
If the minimum speed value is less than 5 step/s or low speed optimization is enabled, the
motion is performed at 5 step/s.
The ReleaseSW command keeps the BUSY flag low until the switch input is released and
