To ease and simplify the design effort, the user only provides the following signals: (a) direction, (b) stepping clock (8x the full-step frequency), (c) mode logic (three inputs determine the operation for full, half, quarter, or eighth stepping), (d) reset input (initiates a 'detent' position), and (e) recirculation control (this allows estab- lishing the percent of fast- vs slow-decay in the phase winding). The microcontroller program providess auto- matic recirculation control. This eliminates the need for evaluating the impact of stepping rate vs the sinusoidal current profile.
Although recirculation control can provide slight improvements (i.e., lower current ripple, reduced motor heating [a few degrees], and diminish audible noise levels [minimal differences]), this entails an evaluation of the motor (and step frequencies) to determine the proper ratio of fast- and slow-decay. The benefits of tuning the recirculation ratios are small, and the time and effort required can be considerable. Hence, the uninitiated user should opt for the automatic recirculation control, and avoid the essentially unnecessary activity.
