The TMC8462A breakout board is a development board with the dedicated TMC8462A-BA chip. It is designed to give users the chance to rapidly prototype their applications - making it possible to immediately check how the motor performs with TMC chips while developing the application's software.

• TMC8462A-BA EtherCAT Slave Controller
• Board supply voltage: 5V to 35V
• Dual RJ45 TPC connector
• SPI PDI interface
• SPI interface for ADI TRINAMIC’s MultiFunction and Control IO Block (MFC IO)
• Access to all chip functions via pin headers and connectors
• Interface to ADI TRINAMIC’s evaluation board concept
• CAD design files available for download

The TMC8462A-EVAL allows you to explore all functions of the TMC8462A-BA.

The TMC8462A-EVAL board allows for a quick and simple start within only minutes to make your motor turning, while still providing full access to all registers and full functionality and diagnostics.

For diagnosis, all signals between MCU and TMC8462A are accessible with probes on the Eselsbruecke bridge board.

All you need to get started is a power supply and ADI Trinamic's free and easy to use TMCL-IDE. This graphical user interface allows quick setup and supports the use of commands in direct mode, monitors real-time behavior visualized in graphs, and logs and stores data. All settings can simply be exported for your own firmware project.
