Operating instructions
Silent Stepper
Item no. 1782845
Intended use
The Silent Stepper TMC2208 turns your 3D printer into an extremely quiet machine in just a few
simple steps. The Silent Stepper is a stepper motor driver board for 2-phase stepper motors
based on the Trinamic motor driver.
The special drivers control the motors of your printer with interpolated 256 bits instead of the
usual 8 bits. Thus the motor is almost silent in normal operation.
For safety and approval purposes, you must not rebuild and/or modify this product. If you use
the product for purposes other than those described above, the product may be damaged.
In addition, improper use can cause hazards such as short circuiting, fire, electric shock etc.
Read the instructions carefully and keep them. Make this product available to third parties only
together with its operating instructions.

Safety Instructions
Please read the operating instructions carefully and pay particular attention
to the safety instructions. We do not assume liability for injuries/material
damages resulting from failure to observe the safety instructions and the
information in these operating instructions regarding the proper handling of
the product. Furthermore, in such cases, the warranty/guarantee will be null
and void.
• When you touch or connect the board, you should take the appropriate safety
precautions against static charge (e.g., ground strap, insulating support, etc.).
• The product is not a toy. Keep out of the reach of children and pets. Position the
product so it is out of the reach of children and pets.
• Do not leave the packaging material unattended, since it could become a
dangerous plaything for children.
• The product is only suitable for dry, enclosed indoor areas. It must not get damp
or wet.
• The product must not be exposed to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, high
dust occurrence, strong vibrations or heavy mechanical stress.
• Handle the product with care; it can be damaged by impacts, blows or falls even
from a low height.
• If you have any questions that are not answered in this manual, please contact our
technical service or another specialist.
• If soldering is required, be sure to avoid short circuits occur during soldering.
• To avoid short circuits, make sure that components or solder contacts do not come
into contact with metal parts, when installing the board. Short circuits will ruin the
product and void the warranty!
• If you have any questions that are not answered in these operating instructions,
please contact our technical customer service or other professionals.
Features
• Configuration via CFG pins and UART interface
• Motor supply voltage 5.5...36 V/DC
• Logic supply voltage 3.3...5 V/DC
• Components on the bottom for better heat dissipation
• StealthChop2 - for very quiet operation (standard setting)
• SpreadCycle - for high dynamics and torque (can be activated via UART)
• Hardware compatible with SilentStepStick
• Trinamic stepper motor control (chopper drive/constant current drive) with automatic standby
current reduction.
• Step/Dir interface with microstepping function (interpolation of up to 256 microsteps).
• microPlyer - Microstep interpolation for smooth running of the stepper motor
• stealthChop - for quiet operation and gentle movements
• spreadCycle - highly dynamic chopper with motor control
Assembly/Installation
First mount the two pin header.
Slide the pin header from the bottom (side with IC)
into the board and solder them on the top.
Use the picture on the right for orientation.
• Now glue the enclosed heat sink to the top of the
circuit board.
To achieve the best cooling performance, place it
exactly above the IC on the bottom.
Use the picture on the right for orientation.
Make sure that the heat sink does not
cause a short circuit at the solder pins!
• Now place the stepper in your 3D printer.
Please refer to the operating instructions of your 3D printer. The installation of the
Silent Stepper is almost identical to the original stepper.
