RESUMO

The research and development of an driver for step motor operating in low tension presents the development of a chopper driver intended to drive 2- phase step motors. The driver was designed to operate between 12 and 18 V which makes it very attractive for automations in vehicles and robots which carry their own batteries. Contrary to the usual design, where the duty cycle of phase current is controlled by sensing this current and feed backing its value to the chopper, the present driver uses fixed value duty cycle, which varies step by step according to a table stored in the memory of a microcontroller. In so doing, we avoid most of the troubles due to noise and voltage fluctuation in the feedback line, typical of usual drivers. Another innovation presented in this work, is to use the H-Bridge MOSFET driver TD340 in driving step motors. This component, manufactured by ST Microeletronics, was originally designed for driving CC motors. Experimental results presented in this work show that the driver developed in this research has performed successfully according with the intended goal.
