Abstract

In this paper, a novel drive topology for a five phase stepper motor is described in detail. Commercially off the shelf, low cost, standard stepper motor drive ICs are used to derive a novel drive topology for five phase stepper motors which enables closed loop speed and position control powered by inner current control loop. It is proved that the derived topology can be generalized to any stepper motor with higher odd number of phases. The designed driver consists of full step, half step, clockwise and counter clockwise drive modes with the speed control and current control.
