Description
Introduction
TB6600 stepper motor driver is easy to use, suitable for two-phase stepper motors. Two-phase 4-wire, 6-wire and 8-wire stepper motors can be connected. It supports speed and direction control. Its micro step and output current can be set with 6 DIP switches. All signal terminals have high-speed optoisolation. The TB6600 stepper motor driver is ideal for Nema 14, Nema 16, Nema 17 and smaller Nema 23 stepper motors with less than 3.0 A current.
The TB6600 driver is suitable for less demanding non-industrial applications.
If we need very quiet operation of stepper motors, then we recommend it TMC series drivers. TMC2160-OC and TMC5160T are comparable to TB6600 in current and supply voltage characteristics.
TB6600 stepper motor driver and its features:
- Aluminum finned cooler

Signal interface details
The controller's control signals can be active at high or low electrical levels. When the high electrical level is active (common cathode connection), all control negative signals are connected to GND. When the low electrical level is active (common anode connection), all positive control signals are connected to a positive voltage. See the images below for details:
- Common cathode connection
- Common anode connection
You can use a 5 – 24 V controller signal, but make sure the appropriate resistor is used:
| Amplitude of the signal | External limiting resistor R |
|---|---|
| 5V | Without R. |
| 12V | 1kΩ (≥1/4 W) |
| 24V | 2kΩ (≥1/2 W) |
It is Arduino compatible and installation is easy as the Arduino outputs a 5V digital pulse signal so no current limiting resistor is required.

Summary
Shown below are all connections to the stepper motor driver necessary for the system to function properly (this is an example for the common anode connection ("EN" and resistors (R) are not connected). The stepper motor driver acts as a central unit allowing current to flow through motor windings based on signal pulses from the Microcontroller Unit (MCU):
