The TMCM-160 is a controller / driver module for general brush-

less DC motor applications. It integrates velocity and torque 

control as well as a hall sensor based positioning mode. The 

position resolution depends on the motor, i.e. a standard 8 pole 

motor gives a motor axis resolution of 15 degrees. The module 

can be used in stand alone operation or remote controlled via 

a RS232 or RS485 interface (ordering option). Its small form 

factor (50 x 92 mm²) allows for integration onto a user board 

as a plug-on module or for panel mounting, by connecting flat 

ribbon cables to the two 2x13 2.54 mm standard header con-

nectors. Multi-axis drives can be easily realized by integrating 

multiple modules on one baseboard. For Evaluation and small 

series the BB-160 baseboard has all needed features. The TMCM-

160 fits perfectly to the QBL4208 BLDC motors.
