Introduction: The Thermally Optimized Upgrade for Silent Motion

The Makerbase MKS TMC2225 V1.1 is the perfect motion control solution for makers demanding both silence and reliability under heavy loads. Sharing the advanced features of the TMC2208, the TMC2225 chip is housed in a robust package designed for superior heat dissipation, making it an excellent choice for motors driving the X, Y, or Z axes on high-speed 3D printers and CNC machines.

Easily replacing older drivers like the A4988, the MKS TMC2225 V1.1 provides high current output and supports advanced functionality, ensuring your machine runs quieter, cooler, and with exceptional precision.

Key Features and Thermal Advantages

Technical Feature

Benefit for the Maker Community

Optimized TMC2225 Package

The unique thermal pad on the chip underside allows for direct connection to the PCB or heatsink, significantly improving heat transfer and stability during long print jobs.

StealthChop™ Silent Mode

Eliminates the harsh, audible noise of traditional motor drivers, creating a near-silent operating environment for your fabrication equipment.

Up to 256 Microsteps

Internal MicroPlyer interpolation delivers 256 virtual microsteps from just 16 microsteps input, resulting in incredibly smooth, high-resolution motor movement.

Superior Current Capacity

Supports up to 1.4A RMS continuous current (2.0A peak), providing ample power and torque for NEMA 17 stepper motors.

UART Communication Ready

The V1.1 version supports UART mode, enabling dynamic firmware control (Marlin/Klipper) over crucial settings like current limit and microstepping selection without needing to adjust the potentiometer.

Simple Installation

Designed to be pin-compatible with standard driver sockets, offering an easy and immediate silent upgrade path.
