Frequently Asked Questions

What is a TMC2208?

The TMC2208 provides an integrated motor driver solution for 3D-Printing, Cameras, Scanners and other automated equipment applications. The device has an integrated microstepping indexer, the completely noiseless current control mode StealthChop2™ and is intended to drive a bipolar stepper motor.

Are TMC2208 drivers silent?

The TMC2202, TMC2208 and TMC2224 are ultra-silent motor driver ICs for two-phase stepper motors. Integrated power- MOSFETs handle motor current up to 1.4A RMS.

Why is TMC2208 silent?

Why use only two TMC2208? The most noise comes from the Y-axis and the X-axis. Because the Z-axis rarely moves when printing you do not hear much noise. The TMC2208 can deliver less power than the standard A4988 driver.
