2.4 Stepper motor Phase Current Waveforms for Different Step values
The drive is capable of operating the stepper motor in open-loop configuration from full step to 256
microsteps per step at a maximum step rate of 1MHz @ 50% ± 10%. The phase current wave forms for
full step, quarter step and 256 microsteps per step is shown in Figure 4.
