... The TMC428 is a miniaturized high performance stepper motor controller. It controls up to three 2- phase stepper motors. All motors can operate independently. The TMC428 allows bit micro step resolution – corresponding to 64 micro steps per full step – individually selectable for each motor. ...

... To have access to those error bits, datagrams with a total length bits sent back from the stepper motor driver chain to the TMC428 are buffered within two 24 bit wide registers. The microcontroller has direct access to these registers. Although, the TMC428 provides datagrams with bits, only the last 48 bits sent back from the driver chain are buffered for read out by the microcontroller ...

... Hint: If the microcontroller and the TMC428 work on different clock domains that run asynchronous to each other, the timing of the SPI interface of the microcontroller should be made conservative in the way that the length of one SPI clock cycle equals 8 or more clock cycles of the TMC428 clock CLK. This make the system robust concerning frequency drift, jitter, etc. ...

... A complete serial datagram frame has a fixed length of 32 bit. While the data transmission from the microcontroller to the TMC428 is idle, the low active serial chip select input nSCS_C and also the serial data clock signal SCK_C are set to high. While the signal nSCS_C is high, the TMC428 assigns the status of the internal low active interrupt signal named nINT to the serial data output SDO_C (see Figure 6-1) ...

... The status bit INT is the internal high active interrupt controller status output signal. Handling of interrupt conditions without using interrupt techniques is possible by polling this status bit. The interrupt signal is also directly available at the SDO_C pin of the TMC428 if nSCS_C is high. The pin SDO_C may directly be connected to an interrupt input of the microcontroller. Since the SDO_C / nINT output is multiplexed, the microcontroller has to disable its interrupt input while it sends a datagram to the TMC428, because the SDO_C signal– ...

... This register holds the current target position in units of full steps, respectively micro steps. The unit of the target position depends on the setting of the associated micro step resolution register usrs. If the difference x_target - x_actual is unequal zero, the TMC428 moves the stepper motor in that direction of x_target so that the difference becomes zero. The condition | x_target - x_actual | < 2 satisfied for motion into the correct direction ...

... This read-only register holds the current velocity of the associated stepper motor. Internally, the ramp generator of the TMC428 processes with 20 bits while only 12 bits can be read out as v_actual. So, an actual velocity of zero read out by the microcontroller means that the current velocity interval between zero and one ...

The actual acceleration is used to select scale factors for the coil currents. Internally updated with each clock. The returned value a_actual is smoothed to avoid oscillations of the readout value ...

... Table 8-2: Current scale selection scheme The automatic motion dependent current scale feature of the TMC428 is provided primarily for micro step operation. It may also be applied for full step or half step drivers, if those provide current control bits. For those drivers, one could initialize the micro step table with a constant function, square function or sine wave using the two most significant DAC bits ...

... Figure 8-2: Ramp generator and pulse generator The parameter p has to be calculated for a given acceleration. This calculation is not done by the TMC428 itself, because this task has to be done only once for a given acceleration limit. The acceleration limit is a stepper motor parameter, which is usually fixed in most applications. If the acceleration limit has to be changed nevertheless, the microcontroller could calculate on demand a pair of p_mul and p_div for each acceleration limit a_max and given ramp_div and pulse_div ...

... The parameter velocity is in range 0 to 2047 and represents parameters v_min, v_max and absolute values of v_target and v_actual. So, the pulse generator of the TMC428 would generate one step pulse with each pulse generator clock pulse if the velocity could be set to 2048.

... This is because the coverage of a step bit would cause losing that associated step if the step bit is active. The TMC428 stores cover_pos+1 instead of cover_pos due to internal requirements. So, one writes cover_pos but reads back cover_pos+1. The cw (= cover waiting) bit available by read out of this register ...

... A write to the register address named power_down sets the TMC428 into the power down mode until it detects a falling edge at the pin nSCS_C. During power down, all internal clocks are stopped, all outputs remain stable, and all register contents are preserved. ...

... So, for a chain of three drivers with 12 bit datagram length each, the upper limit of the datagram frequency is f_datagram[Hz] = f_sck_s[Hz 3*(12+ f_sck_s[Hz] / 41. The TMC428 sends datagrams to the stepper motor driver chain on demand only. No datagrams are send if continuous_update is ‘0’ during rest periods. This reduces the communication traffic. The multiplexed reference switch inputs are processed while datagrams are sent to the stepper motor driver chain only ...
