Re: Driving 5 phase pentagon stepper motor with L298 and ATMEGA16
Running a 5 phase stepper is difficult and there is very little information available on it. I would strongly recommend dumping that motor and going for something more standard.

Hi
it may of been better to model your stepper driver on a chip set like the Sanken SI-7510 sequencer and fet arrays SLA5073 + SLA5074 or SLA5065 + SLA5068 ( in stock from digikey )
you could build a working stepper driver using the SI-7510 to test your motor and provide data to compare with a second board using your ATMEGA16 emulating the SI-7510
that way you have a way of separating some of possible hardware and software problems you may have in your design

I’ve decide to switch from H bright to half bright with array of MOSFET, hence below is the schematic of what I suppose to be work with following assumption
To initiate the lower array just use the gate TC4420, there won’t be problem to turn on by micro
To initiate the higher array use isolated auxiliary voltage with optocoupler
Use opamp for chopping the current whereas voltage of shunt higher than potentiometer voltage (output = 0)
To initiate the high array output of opamp and micro command must be in high state
Pulse and direction control have implemented in software code
Any comet for following schematic is really appreciated

Can you post a larger image? The text is not readable.

The circuit won't work. The top part of the h-bridge must be driven with a high side driver. I posted a design for a cpld based stepper several years ago. I've attached the schematic. You can copy the power section and modify it for your drive.

Hi
I've made new design with new IC FAN7388, regards to its data sheet , it is capable to drive array of mosfet very smoothly, in low voltage and amper before the chopping switching act ,every things is ok and torque is very low but when I increase the voltage (power) , mosfet temperature increase rapidly and get so hot, and motor vibrating , I think maybe this noise and malfunction due yo high chopping frequency of IC, I attached the schematic of my board
any help is really appreciated

It won't work. There are errors.
-add a pull up on u4 pin1.
-swap vpot and vres
-add a 20 uS time delay between u4 pin 1 and U3. Otherwise it will chop too fast.
