Power demanding stepper motors with the BigTreeTech TMC5160T Plus SPI Stepper Motor Driver — a high-performance, high-current silent driver designed for advanced 3D printer and CNC applications.

This TMC5160T Plus version features low RDS(on) power MOSFETs (as low as 6mΩ) and supports significantly higher voltage and current than standard drivers like the TMC2209. It delivers ultra-quiet operation with StealthChop2 while offering precise control through SpreadCycle mode, making it ideal for large NEMA 23/34 motors or high-speed, high-torque builds.

Key Specifications:

Motor Voltage (VM): Up to 60V
Max RMS Current: 10.6A
Peak Current: Up to 15A
Microstepping: Up to 1/256 with excellent smoothness
Interfaces: SPI (primary), STEP/DIR, UART, Standalone
Features: StealthChop2, SpreadCycle, StallGuard, CoolStep, DCStep, SixPoint ramp
On-board 24V always-on fan interface for active cooling
Reserved encoder interface for advanced positioning
ESD protection on power and logic

Key Features & Benefits:

High Power & Voltage — Handles large steppers (NEMA 17 to 86) and high-voltage setups (24V–48V+) with minimal heat generation
Silent & Precise — StealthChop2 for nearly silent operation and advanced resonance damping to prevent lost steps
Excellent Heat Dissipation — Includes integrated heatsink with fan mounting holes for sustained high-current performance
SPI Mode — Full configuration and tuning via SPI for maximum control in Marlin or Klipper firmware
Robust Design — 8 high-power 100V/93A MOSFETs ensure reliability under heavy load
