HV5160


HV5160 with heatsink


1. Introduction


HV5160 is specially designed for high-voltage drive requirements and can work in the voltage range of 8-60V, such as 48V. The design is based on TMC5160-WA and uses Samsung Electronics’ 100V X7R ceramic capacitors


2. Feature


  • 1000 x 600mil / 25.4 x 15.24mm
  • 6 layer TG155 PCB
  • 8-60V 3.0A (rms) / 4.2A (peak)
  • 4x DMT6018 (17 mΩ)
  • Step/Dir interface & SPI mode default
  • Compatible with Stepstick Pins
  • Encoder Interface pinout
  • DIAG output for sensorless homing
  • With 393.6 W/(m·K) copper heatsink


3. Application


3D printers, CNCs, engraving machines, or other similar devices with stepper motors.

HV5160 Pin Functions


5.1 Pin Functions


Pin

Function


Power Supply

GND

Ground

VM

Motor Supply Voltage, Provide filtering capacity near pin with short loop to GND plane. Must be tied to the positive bridge supply voltage.

VIO

3.3V to 5V IO supply voltage for all digital pins.


Motor Outputs

B1

Motor Coil 1

B2

Motor Coil 1

A1

Motor Coil 2

A2

Control Inputs

REFL_STEP

STEP input when (SD_MODE=1).or left reference input (for internal ramp generator)

REFR_DIR

DIR input (SD_MODE=1).or right reference input (for internal ramp generator)


TMC5160

EN

Enable Motor inputs: GND=on, VIO=off

CLK

CLK input. Tie to GND using short wire for internal clock or supply external clock. Internal clock-fail over circuit protects against loss of external clock signal.

SDI_CFG1

SPI data input (SPI_MODE=1) or Configuration input (SPI_MODE=0) or Next address input (NAI) for single wire interface.

SCK_CFG2

SPI serial clock input (SPI_MODE=1) or Configuration input (SPI_MODE=0)

CSN_CFG3

SPI chip select input (negative active) (SPI_MODE=1) or Configuration input (SPI_MODE=0)

SDO_CFG0

SPI data output (tristate) (SPI_MODE=1) or Configuration input (SPI_MODE=0) or Next address output (NAO) for single wire interface.

DIAG0

Diagnostics output DIAG0. Interrupt or STEP output for motion controller (SD_MODE=0, SPI_MODE=1). Use external pullup resistor with 47k or less in open drain mode. Single wire I/O (negative) (only with SD_MODE=0 and SPI_MODE=0)

ENC-BENCB_DCEN_ CFG4

Encoder B-channel input (when using internal ramp generator) or dcStep enable input (SD_MODE=1, SPI_MODE=1) – leave open or tie to GND for normal operation in this mode (no dcStep). Configuration input (SPI_MODE=0)

ENC-AENCA_DCIN_ CFG5

Encoder A-channel input (when using internal ramp generator) or dcStep gating input for axis synchronization (SD_MODE=1, SPI_MODE=1) or Configuration input (SPI_MODE=0)

ENC-NENCN_DCO_ CFG6

Encoder N-channel input (SD_MODE=0) or dcStep ready output (SD_MODE=1). With SD_MODE=0, pull to GND or VCC_IO, if the pin is not used for an encoder.


5.2 Configuration Instructions


!!! warning
If you use 48V to power the VMOT of the module and 24V step-down to power the VIO, please make sure that 48V and 24V are turned on at the same time (that is, VMOT and VIO arrive at the same time). Otherwise, the drive module may burn out.
!!!
