MPS stepper motor drivers are optimized to drive bipolar stepper motors used in printers, document scanners, robots, and other office and factory automation equipment. The MPS stepper motor driver family includes both low and high voltage devices as well as parts with or without indexer or translator logic. Some MPS parts feature internal current regulation with no shunt resistors, and feature the most accurate current control in the industry, providing microstepping capability.
