Using the Analog O/P in MID 7604 stepper driver ?

[Himanshu]

I want to drive a dc motor using the analog output port of the stepper motor driver MID 7604. I wanted to know the amount of current and voltage that can be output using these ports.

It is the same current output as that of the 734x or 745x controller you are using, which in any case would be +/-10v, +/-5 mA. If you are using a 733x controller, the signal is not connected. Unless your Dc motor is supper small, I doube you will be able to drive it with so little current. I think what you need is a servo drive to accomplish this. The MID 765x drives are the an example of this type of drive, though you can find some othe options in or drive advisor at:
