Introduction
The DPY50611 is a single-axis 5A bipolar microstep driver/controller containing 2 kbytes of non-
volatile stored programming space, quadrature encoder feedback, and a 125W power supply, all 
enclosed in a package.  It provides fl exible, independent control of bipolar stepper motors with 
a current range from 0.5 to 5.0 amps/phase with microstepping resolutions from 200 steps per 
revolution to 12,800 steps per revolution from a computer, or any machine controller with...

Motor Selection
The DPY50611 incorporates a Bipolar Microstep Driver that is compatible with both Bipolar and 
Unipolar Motor Confi gurations,  (i.e. 8 and 4 lead motors, and 6 lead tapped motors).
Step motors with low current ratings and high inductance will perform better at low speeds, pro-
viding higher low-end torque.  Motors with high current ratings and low inductance will perform 
better at higher speeds, providing more high-end torque.
Since the DPY50611 is a constant...

Microstep Selection - Driver SW1 Settings
Switches 2, 3 and 4, of the DIP switch select the number of microsteps per step.  Table 6 shows 
the standard resolution values along with the associated positions for the select switches.  The 
standard waveforms are sinusoidal.

September 2012 L01019510 Reducing Output Current
Reducing the output current is accomplished by setting switch 1 of the DIP switch to the ON position 
and occurs approximately 1 second after the last positive going edge of the step clock input.  The 
amount of current per phase in the reduction mode is approximately 50% of the set current.  When 
the current reduction circuit is activated, the current reduction resistor is paralleled with the current 
adjustment potentiometer.  This lowers the total...
