Stepping sequence generation
The phase sequence generator is a state machine that provides the phase and enable
inputs for the two bridges to drive a stepper motor in either full-step or half-step. Two full-
step modes are possible, the normal drive mode where both phases are energized each
step and the wave drive mode where only one phase is energized at a time. The drive mode
is selected by the HALF/FULL input and the current state of the sequence generator as
described below. A rising edge of the CLOCK input advances the state machine to the next
state. The direction of rotation is set by the CW/CCW input. The RESET input resets the
state machine to state 1.
Half-step mode
A high logic level on the HALF/FULL input selects half-step mode. Figure 18 shows the
motor current waveforms and the state diagram for the phase sequencer generator. At
startup or after a RESET the phase sequencer is at state 1. After each clock pulse the state
changes following the sequence 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,… if CW/CCW is high (clockwise
movement) or 1,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,… if CW/CCW is low (counterclockwise movement).
