Servo driver reference design provides 5V power, four PWM outputs and four digital inputs

Mouser now stocks Maxim's MAXREFDES37 IO-Link servo driver reference design which provides 5V power, four PWM outputs and four digital inputs allowing control of up to four 5V servo motors. IO-Link offers the ability to replace pneumatic actuators, and their compressed air lines. With added level translation, the digital inputs allow for interfacing to binary position or status sensors. This design includes on-board, standard 3-pin headers that allow quick connection to off-the-shelf 5V servo motors. The MAXREFDES37 comes with a HiTec HS-53 servo motor. Push-in terminal blocks allow simple connection to 5V digital inputs, power, ground, and also access to all four PWM channels. The on-board rugged male M12-4 connector allows for a standard connection to any compliant IO-Link master.
