New programmable pulse generator chip from Nippon provide high speed of 6.5 Mpps pulses

Nippon Pulse Motor has unveiled a highly functional programmable pulse generator semiconductor chip, PCL6045BL. It is a CMOS LSI designed to provide high speed 6.5 Mpps pulses to drive stepper motors and servomotors using various commands.

The key features of this pulse generator IC are:
1) Their exists circular interpolation between 2 desired axes and linear interpolation among 2 to 4 desired axes in addition to linear acceleration/deceleration and S-curve acceleration/deceleration.
2) The preregisters enable continuous interpolation during operation in progress.
3) It consists of 4 built-in up/down counters per axis/5 comparators per axis
4) Overriding operating pulse rate and target position during operation in progress.

The PCL6045BL operates at a supply voltage of 3.3V and comes in a JEDEC standard package with economical pricing. It is designed to reduce burden on CPU units to control motors.
