42V 2.5A Synchronous Step-Down Regulator with 2.5μA Quiescent Current - 11/26/13 EDN-Design Notes Measure inductance & capacitance over a wide range. The LT8610 and LT8611 are 42V, 2.5A synchronous step-down regulators that meet the stringent high input voltage and low output voltage requirements of automotive, industrial, and communications applications. To minimize external components and solution size, the top and bottom power switches are integrated in a synchronous regulator topology, including internal compensation. The regulator consumes only 2.5μA quiescent current from the input source even while regulating the output. Design by Hua Walker Bai

80C31 Stepper Motor Controller - The MD4 is a stepper motor driver design utilizing the 80C31 microcontroller. The design is very similar to the MD-2 stepper motor driver board except that this board has an on-board +5V regulator so it does not require a dual voltage power supply to run. it uses two Allegro UDN2540B ICs to driver the stepper motors. The U1 is 8031AH microcontroller which can be replaced with any 80C32, 87C51, 87C52 or flash base microcontroller 89C51, 89C52 families. __ Designed by www.wzmicro.com
A worked Stepping Motor Example - Perhaps some of the most commonly available stepping motors, for the experimenter, are the head positioning motors from old diskette drives. These can be found at electronics swap meets, in computer surplus outlets, and even in trash dumpsters. in addition to a stepper, a typical full-height 5.25 inch disk drive includes a 12 volt DC motor with tachometer and motor control circuit board, two microswitches, and a matched LED-photosensor pair (schematic design 6/06) __ Designed by Douglas W.

BEAM Stepper - 74AC240-based circuit to drive small bipolar stepper motors (e. g. , ones in floppy drives) __ Designed by Wilf Rigter
BEAM Stepper drive - The 74AC240 stepper driver works by alternately enabling each half of the buffer. Only one half can be enabled at a time. Let's assume that the top half of the driver is enabled. U1A & U1B along with R8, C1, and the input protection resistor R7 form a square wave oscillator. The outputs of U1A & U1B directly drive one coil of a bipolar stepper motor. __ Designed by Duane Johnson and Wilf Rigter
Bipolar Stepper Motor Control - First, we want to explain how such a controller works and what’s involved. A bipolar motor has two windings, and thus four leads. Each winding can carry a positive current, a negative current or no current. This is indicated in Table 1 by a ‘+’, a ‘–‘ or a blank. A binary counter (IC 1) receives__
Bipolar Stepper Motor Control - in this circuit, a potentiometer controls both the speed and direction of a small bipolar stepping motor like those found in many 5 1/4" floppy disk drives. Note that the bipolar motors are distinguished from "unipolar" types, in that bipolar units have two coils instead of four, and four wires instead of five. With the potentiometer at the extreme counterclockwise position, the motor runs counterclockwise at the maximum speed. Rotating the potentiometer toward the center slows the motor, until it stops. Continuing potentiometer rotation clockwise, the motor starts to run clockwise, increasing in speed to the maximum clockwise position __ Designed by Arthur Harrison

Some, such as personal-transportation systems, require precise speed control. Stepper-motor controllers can be simple (Figure 1) , but they require a variable-frequency square wave for the clock input.

Controller for Stepper Motor using 4027 flip-flop & 4070 XOR gate - I found this circuit in my files. I don't know where it came from, but it looks like I photocopied it from somewhere years ago. I have been told that it came from "The Robot Builder's Bonanza", by Gordan McComb. Anyway, I thought that it should be fairly useful, so I decided to post it here. The circuit is very simple and inexpensive. This is good thing because most commercial stepper motor controller ICs are quite expensive. This circuit is built from standard components and can easily be adapted to be controlled by a computer. if you use cheap surplus transistors and stepper motor, the price of the circuit can be kept to under $10. __ Designed by Aaron Cake
