SIXpack / QUADpack are highly integrated stepper motor controllers for six respectively four 2-phase
stepper motors with a coil current of 800 mA respectively 1500 mA each. A DSP supported by special
hardware allows a powerful function set and a wide stepping frequency range for all motors. Both PACKs
are equipped with RS 232, RS 485 and CAN-Interface.
