Functional Scope of TMC4361A
TMC4361A is a miniaturized high-performance motion controller for stepper motor drivers,
particularly designed for fast and jerk-limited motion profile applications with a wide range
of ramp profiles. The S-shaped or sixPoint™ velocity profile, closed-loop and open-loop
features offer many configuration options to suit the user’s specifications, as presented
below:
S-Shaped
Velocity Profile
S-shaped ramp profiles are jerk-free. Seven ramp segments form the S-shaped
ramp that can be optimally adapted to suit the user’s requirements. High torque
with high velocities can be reached by calibrating the bows of the ramp, as
explained in this user manual.

More information on ramp configurations and other velocity profiles, e.g.
sixPoint™ ramps, are provided in chapter

A typical hardware setup for closed-loop operation with a TMC262 stepper motor
gate driver is shown in the diagram below. In case internal MOSFETs are desired,
combine the TMC4361A with the TMC2620, the TMC261 or the TMC2660.
