Description
The logiSTEP is a stepper motor controller IP from Xylon IP library logicBRICKSTM. It enables a simultaneous control of 1 to 16 two-phase stepper motors and supports different control methods: full-step, half-step and microstepping. Supported motor types are MMT and Switec. The logiSTEP is being primarily designed for the AMD FPGA devices and the automotive market. A typical example of the logiSTEP application is an automotive instrument cluster. Hardware implemented acceleration/deceleration/smoothing algorithms, embedded into the logiSTEP, enable precise and smooth motors control. The logiSTEP is, like the other IP cores from the Xylon logicBRICKS IP library, fully embedded into the AMD Vivado™ (IP Integrator) and ISE Platform Studio (XPS) Design Suits.
