General Description
The MBC15081 is a 1.5 amps/phase bipolar microstep driver capable of running four, six, and eight lead 
step motors.  The MBC15081 has an output current range of 0.5 to 1.5 amps/phase and operates off 
12VDC minimum to 24VDC maximum.  The inputs are capable of running from either open collector or 
TTL level logic outputs, or sourcing 24VDC outputs from PLCs.  The MBC15081 features resolutions from 
200 - 1600 steps/revolution, providing smooth rotary operation....

Step Motor Confi gurations
The output current on the MBC15081 is set by the onboard potentiometer.  This potentiometer determines 
the per phase peak output current of the driver.  The relationship between the output current and the po-
tentiometer value is as follows:
WARNING! Step motors will run hot even when confi gured correctly.  Damage may occur to the motor if 
a higher than specifi ed current is used.  Most specifi ed motor currents are maximum values.  Care should 
be taken to...

Step Motor Confi gurations
Step motors can be confi gured as 4, 6 or 8 leads.  Each confi guration requires different currents.  Refer 
to the lead confi gurations and the procedures to determine their output current.
Determining Output Current
The Output current for a motor used with a bipolar driver is determined differently from that of a unipolar 
driver.  In the MBC15081, a sine/cosine output function is used in rotating the motor.  The output current 
for a given motor is...

Connecting to the MBC15081
The MBC15081 is designed with cost savings and size as two of the primary design criteria.  For this reason, 
the MTA-100 series connector was chosen for these products as a reliable small and low cost connector.  
This is a common Insulation Displacement Connector (IDC) manufactured by AMP Corporation.  The 
inputs to the driver are on a 7-pin connector and the motors are on a 4-pin connector.  These connectors 
are not supplied with the driver, but can be...
