ST EVALSP820-XS Bedienungsanleitung
Introduction
The EVALSP820-XS is an easy to use evaluation board for the STSPIN820, providing a compact solution to evaluate the
performance of the STSPIN820 stepper motor driver with minimal external equipment and without the need for extra
components.
The hardware is fully compatible with RepRAp Arduino Mega Poloulo Shield (RAMPS) or other similar Fused Filament
Fabrication (FFF) 3D Printing platforms, representing a very fast drop-in replacement of similar solutions. Contrary to most other
competitor solutions, the EVALSP820-XS helps customers to really exploit the benefits of working at high microstepping
resolution.

1Board overview
The main characteristics of the board are:
• Supply voltage from 7 V to 45 V
• Output current up to 1.5 A rms for each motor phase
• Peak current regulation through trimmer
• Form factor and connectivity compatible with RAMPS (RepRap Arduino Mega Pololu Shield) or similar
boards
• Based on STSPIN820 driver featuring:
–Stepper motor driving with a microstepping resolution up to 1/256th of step
– Overcurrent, short-circuit and overtemperature protections

2.1 Safety precautions
Note: Warning! Some of the components mounted on the board could reach hazardous temperatures during
operation.
While using the board, please adhere to the following precautions
• Do not touch the components
• Do not cover the board
• Do not put the board in contact with flammable materials of with materials releasing smoke when heated
After operation, allow the board to cool down before touching it.
2.2 Adjusting motor peak current
The R7 trimmer adjusts the reference voltage of the STSPIN820 PWM current controller setting the peak current
input to the motor phases.
The R7 trimmer controls the current level. Rotating clockwise increases and rotating counter clockwise decrease
the current level.
The range depends on the VDD logic supply voltage (pin 6 of J2) as listed in the table below.
Table 2. Peak current ranges
VDD Minimum Maximum
3.3 V VREF = 0 V
Ipeak = 0 A(1)
VREF = 0.67 V
Ipeak = 4.5 A(2)
5 V VREF = 0 V
Ipeak = 0 A(1)
VREF = 1 V
Ipeak = 6.8 A(2)
(1) Minimum current could be present due to the PWM current control operation
(2) The overcurrent protection of the STSPIN820 could limit the actual peak current
2.2.1 Modify the peak current range
The trimmer can be adjusted by modifying some board components.
In particular the components contributing to the definition of the peak current are:
• Both the sensing resistors
• Pull-up resistor (R6)
• Sensing resistor (R8 and R9)
The detailed formula is the following:
Changing the sensing resistors requires particular attention:
• Bust the sensing resistors must have the same value
•Power dissipation on the resistors is equal to Ipeak2 × Rsense. The power rating must be selected accordingly.

2.3 Setting off time duration
The R5 resistor sets the off time duration for the PWM current control circuitry as indicated in the figure below.
Low resistance value imposes a short off time reducing the current ripple into the motor phases.
The default value is 10 kΩ, corresponding to about 14 µs.
