Microstepping Truth Table
| axS1 | axS0 | Output |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | Full Step |
| 0 | 1 | Half Step |
| 1 | 0 | Quarter Step |
| 1 | 1 | Eighth Step |
1 means jumper NOT installed
The XS-3535/8S-4 Stepper Driver is a 4 axis pulse-width-modulated (PWM) current controlled bipolar micro-stepping controller.
Each axis drive has a +-2.5 Amp/phase @ 35 Volt maximum continuous Output Rating. The drive circuitry has thermal shutdown protection and crossover-current protection. Synchronous rectification circuitry eliminates the need for external clamp diodes in most applications.
Each axis accepts Step & Direction signals, along with 2 jumper inputs to define microsteps per full step.
The board is of 4-Later construction with Isolated Power and Logic supply planes. The drive circuitry has a heat sink attached to allow cooler operation.
