L297/L298 Bipolar Stepper Motor Chopper Driver, 9-36V, 2A

Our new bipolar chopper driver allows you to get better performance from your stepper motor. It uses a dual full bridge motor driver based on SGS Thompson chips L297 & L298.

• Easily adjustable motor current (0 to 2A)
• Full and Half stepping modes
• Step, Direction and Enable inputs (5V logic level)
• Synchroniseable when using multiple drivers
• Enable input can be connected to ground to disable motor

Motor current for each phase is set using an on-board potentiometer and the controller is capable of handling motor winding currents of up to 2 Amps per phase.

It operates from a DC supply voltage of 9-36V. The drive provides all basic motor controls, including full or half stepping of bipolar steppers and direction control. Works with large bipolar stepper motors like the MO-101, MO-102 and MO-103.

All signals (Step, Direction, Enable) can be interfaced to external logic or a microcontroller. You can easily control the motor from your computer's parallel port or a serial stepper controller card!

This controller is perfect for desktop CNC applications.
