TB67S579FTG Stepper Motor Driver Carriers
![]() |
These products are carrier boards or breakout boards for Toshiba’s TB67S579FTG bipolar stepper motor driver; we therefore recommend careful reading of the TB67S579FTG datasheet (5MB pdf) before using them. They let you control one bipolar stepper motor at up to approximately 1.1 A to 1.3 A per phase continuously (2 A peak) without a heat sink or forced air flow (depending on supply voltage; see the product pages for more information.) Here are some of the driver’s key features:
- Simple step and direction control interface
- Seven different step modes: full-step, non-circular half-step, circular half-step, 1/4-step, 1/8-step, 1/16-step, and 1/32-step
- Adjustable current control lets you set the maximum current output with a potentiometer, which lets you use voltages above your stepper motor’s rated voltage to achieve higher step rates
- Advanced Dynamic Mixed Decay (ADMD) dynamically switches between slow and fast decay modes by monitoring the state of current decay (not according to fixed timing)
- Automatic Wave Generation System (AWGS) can be enabled to generate a pseudo-sine wave sequence of 1/32 microsteps from a full step clock input
- 4.5 V to 34 V (40 V absolute max) supply voltage range
- Can deliver approximately 1.1 A to 1.3 A per phase continuously without additional cooling (depending on supply voltage), up to 2 A peak
- Built-in regulator (no external logic voltage supply needed)
- Can interface directly with 3.3 V and 5 V systems
- Under-voltage lockout and protection against over-current and over-temperature
- Active-low fault output activates for over-temperature, over-current, open-load condition, or motor stall conditions
- Exposed solderable ground pad below the driver IC on the bottom of the PCB

This breakout board for Toshiba’s TB67S579FTG microstepping bipolar stepper motor driver is arranged in the popular 16-pin Pololu form factor. It features adjustable current limiting and seven microstep resolutions (down to 1/32-step). Additionally, it dynamically selects an optimal decay mode by monitoring the actual motor current, and it can automatically reduce the driving current below the full amount when the motor is lightly loaded to minimize power and heat. The TB67S579FTG has a wide operating voltage range of 4.5 V to 34 V, and our carrier board can deliver approximately 1.1 A per phase continuously without a heat sink or forced air flow (up to 2 A peak). It features built-in protection against over-current and over-temperature conditions.

This version of our TB67S579FTG Stepper Motor Driver Compact Carrier ships with male header pins installed, so no soldering is required to use it with an appropriate 16-pin socket or solderless breadboard. The TB67S579FTG has a wide operating voltage range of 4.5 V to 34 V, and our carrier board can deliver approximately 1.1 A per phase continuously without a heat sink or forced air flow (up to 2 A peak). Please see the TB67S579FTG Stepper Motor Driver Compact Carrier product page for more information about the driver.
