INTRODUCTION  
The IM481H is a high performance, yet low cost microstepping driver that utilizes  
advanced hybrid technology to greatly reduce size without sacrificing features. The  
IM481H is exceptionally small, easy to interface and use, yet powerful enough to handle  
the most demanding applications.  
The IM481H has 14 built in microstep resolutions (both binary and decimal). The  
resolution can be changed at any time without the need to reset the driver. This feature  
allows the user to rapidly move long distances, yet precisely position the motor at the end  
of travel without the expense of high performance controllers.  
With the development of proprietary and patented circuits, ripple current has been  
minimized to reduce motor heating common with other designs, allowing the use of low  
inductance motors improving high speed performance and system efficiency.  
The IM481H, because of its ultra small size and low cost, can be used to increase  
accuracy and smoothness in systems using higher step angle motors. In many instances  
mechanical gearing can be replaced with microstepping, reducing cost and eliminating  
potential maintenance.  
OPTIONAL INTERFACE BOARD The INT-481 is a plug on interface board which can be  
used with the IM481H to facilitate testing or in situations where panel mounting is  
preferred  
The INT-481 contains extra circuitry which includes: Opto isolators for step clock,  
direction, enable, and reset, along with extra fault detection circuits, +5vdc supply, input  
capacitor, and fault and power LED’s. Wiring is done through a 15 pin screw terminal  
header. A four position dip switch is supplied for microstep resolution selection.

OUTPUT CURRENT  
SECTION 7.1  
DETERMINING THE OUTPUT CURRENT  
For any given motor, the OUTPUT CURRENT used for MICROSTEPPING is determined  
differently from that of a HALF/FULL STEP driver.  
In the IM481H, a sine/cosine output function is used in rotating the motor. Therefore, when  
microstepping, the specified phase current of the motor is considered an RMS value.  
The CURRENT ADJUSTMENT RESISTOR used to set the output current of the IM481H  
sets the peak output of the sine/cosine waves not the RMS value. Therefore the specified  
motor current (which is the RMS value) should be multiplied by 1.4 to determine the PEAK  
value to which the IM481H will be set.  
EXAMPLE:  
If a motor has a specified PHASE CURRENT of 0.75 amps per phase, then:  
0.75 amps X 1.4 = 1.05 amps peak  
The Resistor Value = OUTPUT CURRENT X 1000 or in this example:  
1.05 X 1000 = 1050 Ω.  
Table 3 shows commercially available 1% resistors for a given current.  
NOTE: Stepper motors can be configured as 4, 6, or 8 leads. Each configuration requires  
different currents. Shown below are the different lead configurations and the procedures to  
determine their output current.  
4 Lead Motors: Multiply the specified phase current by 1.4 to determine the peak  
output current.  
6 Lead Motors: 1) When configuring a 6 lead motor in a half coil configuration ( i.e.  
connected from one end of the coil to the center tap (high speed  
configuration)) multiply the specified per phase (or unipolar) current  
rating by 1.4 to determine the peak output current.  
2) When configuring the motor so the full coil is used (i.e. connected  
from end to end with the center tap floating (higher torque  
configuration)) use the per phase (or unipolar) current rating as the  
peak output current.  
8 Lead Motors: SERIES CONNECTION: When configuring the motor windings in  
series, use the per phase (or unipolar) current rating as the peak  
output current, or multiply the bipolar current rating by 1.4 to  
determine the peak output current.  
PARALLEL CONNECTION: When configuring the motor windings in  
parallel, multiply the per phase (or unipolar) current rating by 1.96 or  
the bipolar current rating by 1.4 to determine the peak output current.  
After determining the peak output current, use table 4 to choose the proper  
current reference resistor value.  
NOTE:

SECTION 7.2  
SETTING OUTPUT CURRENT  
The OUTPUT CURRENT on the IM481H is set by applying a voltage to pin 5 (current  
adjustment). The output current is set as follows:  
PEAK OUTPUT CURRENT (Amps) = Volts applied to pin 5  
EXAMPLE:  
1.4 volts applied to pin 5 will set the peak output current of the IM481H to 1.4  
amps per phase.  
To generate the reference voltage needed to set the peak output current of the driver, a  
1mA current source is provided (pin 4, Current Reference ). By connecting a resistor ( 1/8  
watt or higher ) between pin 4 and pin 11 ( Ground ) a reference voltage is generated. Pin  
4 is then connected to pin 5 ( Current Adjustment) to set the peak per phase output  
current of the driver ( See Figure 3 ).  
The relationship between the output current and the resistor value is as follows:  
PEAK OUTPUT CURRENT (Amps) x 1000 = Resistor Value (Ohms)  
EXAMPLE: To set the peak output current of the IM481H to 1.4 Amps:  
1.4 ÷ .001 = Resistor Value = 1400 .  
Table 3 shows the standard 1% resistor values with respect to the peak output current.  
NOTE: When using the Current Reference output to set the output current of the  
IM481H, care should taken to keep the connections as short as possible  
to help minimize the noise coupled into the driver.

MOTOR  
SECTION 8.1  
MOTOR SELECTION  
The IM481H is a Bipolar driver which works equally well with both Bipolar and Unipolar  
motors, ( i.e. 8 and 4 lead motors and 6 lead center tapped motors (see section 8.2,  
Connecting the Motor)).  
To maintain a given set motor current, the IM481H chops the voltage using a constant  
chopping frequency and a varying duty cycle. Duty cycles that exceed 50% can cause  
unstable chopping. This characteristic is directly related to the motor’s winding  
inductance. To avoid this situation, it is necessary to choose a motor with a low winding  
inductance. The lower the winding inductance, the higher the step rate possible.  
The maximum per phase motor inductance for the IM481H is calculated as follows:  
Max. per Phase Inductance (mH) = 2 x Supply Voltage ÷ 10  
NOTE: In calculating the maximum phase inductance, when using an unregulated  
power supply, the minimum supply output voltage should be used.  
Since the IM481H is a constant current source, it is not necessary to use a motor that is  
rated at the same voltage as the supply voltage. What is important is that the IM481H is  
set to the motor’s rated current.  
The higher the voltage used the faster the current can flow through the motor coils. This in  
turn means a higher step rate. Care should be taken not to exceed the maximum voltage  
of the driver.  
Therefore in choosing a motor for a system design, the best performance for a specified  
torque is a motor with the lowest possible winding inductance used in conjunction with the  
highest possible driver voltage.  
SECTION 8.2  
CONNECTING THE MOTOR  
Phase A of the Stepping Motor is connected between pins 1 and 2. Phase B of the  
Stepping Motor is connected between pins 20 and 21. The following drawings in figure 4  
illustrates the connection of 4,6, and 8 Lead Stepping Motors to the IM481H Driver.  
NOTE: To reduce the transmission of EMI from the motor cables, a twisted pair  
sheilded cable is recommended if the driver to motor cabling is in excess of  
one foot. Motor leads should not exceed 100 feet. Refer to Section 10,  
Recommended Wiring, for further information.  
NOTE: The physical direction of the motor with respect to the direction input will  
depend on the connection of the motor windings. To reverse the direction of  
the motor with respect to the direction input, switch the wires on either  
phase A or phase B outputs.  
WARNING! Do not connect or disconnect the AC power leads  
or the motor leads with power applied!

POWER REQUIREMENTS  
MOTOR POWER  
SECTION 9.1  
Pins 11 (ground), and 12 (+V) are used to connect the motor DC power to the IM481H.  
Two local capacitors are needed, connected between pins 11 and 12 and located as  
close to the pins as possible, to insure stable operation.  
The first capacitor is a low impedance, aluminum electrolytic. The continuous operating  
voltage of the capacitor should exceed the maximum supply voltage as well as any  
additional voltage caused by the motors back EMF. The value of the capacitor should be  
approximately 150 microfarads for every 1 amp of peak per phase output current.  
EXAMPLE: For a peak output current of 1.4 amps, and a supply voltage of 45 volts, a  
220uf 50v capacitor is recommended.  
Along with the aluminum electrolytic, a 0.1 microfarad ceramic capacitor must be used to  
filter out high frequency noise. It should be located between the IM481H’s power input  
pins and the aluminum electrolytic capacitor. The continuous operating voltage of the  
capacitor should exceed the maximum supply voltage as well as any additional voltage  
caused by the motors back EMF.  
POWER SUPPLY SPECIFICATIONS

Recommended Type:..............Unregulated DC.  
Ripple Voltage............................. ±10% max.  
Output Voltage......................... +12 to +45Vdc  
*Output Current.................. 0.75 Amps (TYPICAL)  
NOTE: RECOMMENDED POWER SUPPLY IMS: PART # ISP200-4  
NOTE:  
With the exception of IMS Power Supplies, Switching Power Supplies and  
regulated linears with overcurrent protection are not recommended because of  
their inability to handle surge currents. If multiple drivers are to be run off of one  
power supply each drive should have separate power and ground wires that  
connect directly to the output capacitor of the power supply.  
*THE OUTPUT CURRENT NEEDED IS DEPENDENT ON THE SUPPLY VOLTAGE,  
MOTOR SELECTION, AND LOAD.  
W A R N I N G : When using an unregulated power supply, care  
should be taken that the output voltage does not exceed the  
maximum driver input voltage because of variations in line  
voltage. It is recommended that a input line filter be used on the  
power supply to limit voltage spikes to the driver!!  
W A R N I N G : Do not connect or disconnect motor leads with  
power applied !! Do not connect or disconnect power supply  
with power applied !!

SECTION 9.2  
+5 VDC INPUT  
The IM481H requires an external regulated +5Vdc power supply. The supply is connected  
between pins 11 (ground), and 14 (+5vdc). A 22 microfarad 10v tantilum capacitor must  
be placed as close to the IM481H as possible between the +5vdc input pin (14) and  
ground.  
The +5vdc supply ground and the motor supply ground should not be connected together  
at the power supplies. The common ground connection between the motor power supply  
and the +5vdc supply should be made at the ground pin of the additional electrolytic  
capacitor used for the motor supply (see section 9.1)  
Figure 5 shows the proper connection of the external +5vdc supply to the IM481H.  
Care should be taken when using this supply not to couple noise from  
external circuits into the IM481H which could cause erratic operation or  
damage.

SECTION 10  
LAYOUT AND INTERFACE GUIDELINES  
Logic level signals should not run parallel to motor phase signals. The motor phase signals  
will introduce noise into the logic level signals and can make the system unreliable. Motor  
phase signals should run as pairs and should be separated from other signals by ground  
traces where possible.  
When leaving the board, motor cables should not be run parallel with other wires and  
phases should be wired using twisted pairs. If motor cabling in excess of 1 foot is required,  
the use of a shielded twisted pair cable is recommended to reduce the transmission of  
EMI. The shield must be tied to AC ground at the driver end only. The motor end must be  
left floating.  
If more then one driver is to be connected to the same power supply, separate power and  
ground connections from each driver to the power supply should be used.  
The power supply cables need to be a twisted pair if power is connected from a source  
external to the board. If multiple drivers are used with an external power source, and it is  
not possible to run separate power and ground connections to each driver, a low  
impedance electrolytic capacitor equivalent to 2 times the total capacitance of all the driver  
capacitors ( see section 9 Power requirements ) and of equal voltage must be placed at  
the power input to the board.

SECTION 11  
MICROSTEP SELECTION  
The number of microsteps per step is selected by pins 7 thru 10. Table 5 shows the  
standard resolution values along with the associated input settings ( See section 14 -  
Inputs ).  
The microstep resolution can be changed at any time. There is no need to reset or cycle  
power. On-the-fly “gear shifting” facilitates high speed slewing combined with high  
resolution positioning at either end of the move.  
When the number of microsteps per step are changed such that the IM481H does not fall  
on a full step (i.e. zero crossing of the sine/cosine waveforms) the IM481H will re-adjust  
itself at the next pulse that would overshoot the full step position. This feature allows the  
IM481H to re-adjust the motor to position no matter what resolution is chosen or when it is  
changed.

SECTION 12  
FULLSTEP OUTPUT SIGNAL  
The FULLSTEP output signal from the IM481H is an active high output at pin 18. This  
output is TRUE for the duration of the full step. A full step occurs when either Phase A or  
Phase B cross through zero (i.e. full current in one winding and zero current in the other  
winding). This fullstep position is a common position no matter what resolution is  
selected.  
The fullstep output can be used to count the number of mechanical full steps the motor  
has traveled without having to count the number of microsteps in between. A controller  
that utilizes this output can greatly reduce its position tracking overhead and thus  
substantially increasing its throughput.  
SECTION 13  
TIMING  
The Direction and Microstep Resolution Select inputs are syncronized with the positive  
going edge of the Step Clock input. When the Step Clock input goes high, the Direction  
and Microstep Select inputs are latched and further changes to these inputs are ignored  
until the next rising edge of the Step Clock input.  
After these signals are latched, the IM481H looks to see if any changes have occured to  
the Direction and the Microstep Select inputs. If a change has occurred, the IM481H will  
execute the change before taking the next step. Only AFTER the change has been  
executed will the step be taken. If no change has occured the IM481H will simply take  
the next step. (This feature works as an automatic debounce for the Direction and  
Microstep Select inputs.)  
The minimum pulse width for the Step Clock input is 75nS. The typical execution time for  
a Direction or Microstep Select change is 100nS. The typical execution time for a Step  
input is 100nS.  
The Reset and Enable inputs are asynchronous to any input and can be changed at any  
time.  
The Reset requires a minimum pulse width of 10µS (See Section 14 for more  
information).  
The Fullstep output typically occurs 75nS after the positive edge of the Step Clock  
(excluding changes to the Direction or the Microstep Select inputs).

When controlling multiple drives with a single  
Reset you must install blocking diodes at the  
input (Pin 13) of each drive. Because of the  
slight differences in Reset timing, this will  
prevent the drives from latching the Reset  
Input in the LOW state. (See Figure 10.)

SECTION 15  
AUTOMATIC CURRENT REDUCTION  
Built into the IM481H is the ability to automatically reduce the current in the motor  
windings after the completion of a move. The reduction occurs approximately .5 seconds  
after the last positive going edge of the Step Clock input. The IM481H will then revert  
back to the original current setting at the next positive going edge of the Step Clock input.  
To utilize this feature, the current reference output must be used to adjust the output  
current of the IM481H and a resistor must be connected between pins 3 & 4 (see Figure  
6). The value of the resistor will determine the amount of current reduction.  
The amount of current per phase in the current reduction mode is related to the value of  
the current reference resistor and the current reduction resistor. When the current  
reduction circuit is activated, the current reduction resistor is paralleled with the current  
adjustment resistor. The parallel combination of the current reference and current  
reduction resistors determine the reduced current level. The relationship between the  
output current and the resistor's values is as follows:  
.001 x *R(Current Adjust) x R(Current Reduction)  
Output Current Reduced (Amps)=  
R(Current Adjust) + R(Current Reduction)  
OR  
Output Current Reduced x R(Current Adjust)  
R(Current Reduction) =  
.001 x R(Current Adjust) - Output Current Reduced

SECTION 16  
FAULT PROTECTION  
The IM481H is internally protected against over temperature, and over current.  
The over temperature set point is between 60 and 70 °C. Care should be taken when  
choosing and installing a heat sink so that there is a good thermal conduction, otherwise  
hot spots may occur in the IM481H which will reduce the operating thermal range.  
The over current protection consists of PHASE to PHASE, and +V to PHASE.  
If an output driver in the IM481H detects an over temperature condition it will shut down  
but will not activate the fault output. Once the temperature drops to a safe operating  
temperature, the IM481H will resume operation.  
If an over current fault is detected by the IM481H, the outputs will be disabled and cannot  
be re-enabled without resetting the driver or by cycling power. At the same time the active  
high FAULT output (pin 19) is enabled.  
The FAULT IN input (pin 6) can be used to force a fault condition. When pulled low the  
signal is latched and the outputs will be disabled. The fault condition can only be cleared  
by cycling power or resetting the driver.  
SECTION 17  
THERMAL REQUIREMENTS  
The IM481H may require heat sinking to maintain a safe operating temperature. Care  
should be taken when mounting the IM481H to a heat sink with an electrically conductive  
surface that an isolating thermal pad is used.  
W A R N I N G ! Rear mounting surface of driver contains  
different voltages and must be kept isolated when attached  
to a conductive surface !  
An optional thermal pad ( Part # TI-481 ) and heat sink ( Part # H-481 ) is available  
for the IM481H  
NOTE:  
The watts dissipated by the IM481H can be calculated as follows:  
Watts Dissipated = ( 0.6 x ( Peak per Phase Output Current )2 )  
EXAMPLE: Peak per Phase Output Current = 1.4 amps  
Watts Dissipated = 1.18
