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

This product is obsolete and stocks are exhausted. Please see alternatives using the category links above.

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.
