Breakout Board (BOB) Besides the Evaluation board another smaller breakout board is available. It
allows for easy integration into own systems or connection to a prototyping platform. The breakout
board provides the bus interface along with the ESC and requires an appropriate supply and controller
connection. The BOB comes with standard RJ45 connectors to connect to TPC using the TMC8462 ESC
with integrated Ethernet PHYs. TMC8462 is functionally equal to the TMC8461. The difference is in using
external PHYs vs. integrated PHYs. The complete board design files are available for download and can
