Part Number: DRV8834

Hello Sirs,

Would you pls advice about this waveform drop issue ?

INDEX & 1/8 micro stepping

Stepping motor is 32 steps/turn , 3.3V +/-10% .

Attach file is waveform capture and schematic.

Many thanks !

    Hi Terry,

    It appears as though the points are the 0 current points in the indexer. Can you confirm this?

    If this is true, this is not a waveform drop. The outputs are disabled, causing the voltages to change to VCC+0.7V and GND - 0.7V while the current in the winding drops to zero. Once the current reaches zero, the remaining voltage is the BEMF of the motor.

    Hello Duncan,

    Attach file CH4 is winding current waveform. Looks like it is zero  .

    We try full step and no this problem but 1/2 micro step , 1/8 and 1/32 step have this drop waveform .

    Would you pls help to comment ?  TKS ~

    Hi Terry,

    Thank you for the confirmation.

    Any microstep mode will have this behavior at the 0 current step. Full step does not have this behavior because the winding is always driven (there is no zero current step).
