5. Refer to the DRV8462 “ADVANCE INFORMATION” data sheet to understand the integrated features of the
stepper motor driver device. Only the key features are described below. The GUI provides access to all the
features in the device.
a. Stand Still Power Saving: This feature defines the hold current level while the motor is in stand still.
Typically hold current required can be significantly lower than run current. This feature will save power
as well as avoid unnecessary heating of the motor. The default setting for the “Stand Still Current” is 50
% of the run current defined by “Torque DAC Setting” and “Full Scale Current”. The minimum value that
can be input is 1 %. Enable this feature and set the desired hold current value as well as required delay
times designed for your application.
