Stepper Motion
• Move clockwise or counter clockwise

• Move in full or half steps

IC Package

Stepper motors are


driven by a stepper
motor driver chip.

Clock (Pin 7)
• Stepper acts on rising edge of clock

• Min Pulse Width (LOW): 10us

• Min Pulse Width (HIGH): 10us


CW/CCW (Pin 10)
• If (CW/CCW = 0)
– Stepper moves clockwise

• If (CW/CCW = 1)
– Stepper moves counter-clockwise
Full/Half Step (Pin 9)
• A full (or half) step is taken on the rising
edge of each clock cycle.
• If (Full / Half Step = 0)
– Stepper moves in full steps
• If (Full / Half Step = 1)
– Stepper moves in half steps
• 1 full step = 2 half steps
Bias / Set (Pin 6)
Typically 0.7V below Vm
• Current out of this pin determines the
maximum output sink current
• If pin is opened, outputs = HIGH Z
• Can act as a reset to the internal logic
Supply (Vm and Vd)
• Pins 1(Vd) and 16(Vm)
• Vm (7.2V to 16.5V)
– Power supply pin for both the logic circuit and
the motor coil current.
• Vd (Vm to Vm+4.5V)
– Protects the outputs where large voltage
spikes may occur as the motor coils are
switched. Typically a diode is connected
between this pin and Vm.
L1, L2, L3, and L4
• Pins 2,3,14, and 15
• High current outputs for the motor coils.
• L1 and L2 are connected to one coil.
• L3 and L4 are connected to another coil.
Using the EB63
• Full step mode
– Clear ‘F/HS’ bit to OFF
– Change ‘CW/CCW’ bit as desired
– Use clock by setting and clearing the bit
repeatedly, with wait commands between
each set and clear.
Using the EB63
• Half step mode
– Set ‘FS/HS’ bit to ON
– Change ‘CW/CCW’ bit as desired
– Use clock by setting and clearing the bit
repeatedly, with wait commands between
each set and clear.
