Stepper Motor Controller Using MAX II CPLDs December 2007, version 1.0 Application Note 488 Introduction This application note details the implementation of a stepper motor ® ® controller using an Altera MAX II CPLD. You can control the motor using just a few inputs from a custom-made keyboard. Stepper Motors The advantage of precision control, open-loop control of the motor, self contained braking, and the absence of brushes, makes the stepper motor a convenient choice for a variety of specialized applications. Printers and plotters, disk drives, robots, CNC machines, and other precision machines are common examples where the stepper motor is used extensively. A stepper motor’s operation can be explained by considering a series of electromagnets arranged in a circle to encapsulate a rotor made up of a magnetic material. When these solenoids, or electromagnets, are energized in sequence, the magneto motive force (MMF) developed in them interacts with the rotor and causes it to re-align to the magnetic field, thereby causing it to rotate in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. The motor’s angular displacement can be controlled by simply switching these electromagnets on or off in a fixed p
