Introduction:
M325 is a high performance microstepping driver based on one of the most advanced technologies in the world today. It is suitable for driving any 2-phase and 4-phase hybrid stepping motors. By using advanced bipolar constant-current chopping technique, it can output more speed and power from the same motor, compared with traditional technologies such as L/R drivers. Its 3-state current control technology allows coil currents to be well controlled, with relatively small current ripple and therefore less motor heating. |
Applications:
Suitable for a wide range of stepping motors of Nema 17 and 23, and usable for various kinds of machines, such as X-Y tables, labeling machines, laser cutters, engraving machines, and pick-place devices. Extremely suitible for applications excepted to be low vibration, high speed and high precision. |

| Pin Function |
Details |
| PUL |
Pulse signal: in single pulse (PUL/DIR) mode, this input represents pulse signal, effective for each upward-rising edge; in double pulse mode (CW/CCW) this input represents clockwise (CW) pulse. For reliable response, pulse width should be longer than 3μs. |
| DIR |
DIR signal: in PUL/DIR mode, this signal has low/high voltage levels, representing two directions of motor rotation; in CW/CCW mode (set by inside jumper J2), this signal is counter-clock (CCW) pulse, effective on each rising edge. For reliable response, direction signal should be sent to driver 5μs before the first pulse of a motion direction reversal. |
| OPTO |
Photo-coupler driving power supply. |
| ENA |
Enable signal: this signal is used for enabling/disabling the driver. High level for enabling the driver and low level for disabling the driver. Usually left unconnected (enabled). |
