The Great Search: 5V-12V Load Stepper Driver Chip


Listen Later

We had a request to stock more stepper driver boards, and they've got a point: we have a few brushed DC driver boards based on chips like the DRV8833 (https://www.digikey.com/short/z14mb55f) but no dedicated chips like the Trinamic's (https://blog.adafruit.com/2020/06/18/eye-on-npi-tmc2226-sa-ultra-silent-stepper-motor-driver-eyeonnpi-digikey-adafruit-digikey-adafruit-trinamic_mc/).
We started a design with the 'classic' A4988 (https://www.digikey.com/short/hfz0ttv5), but it's been many years since that chip was released, let's find another option that has microstepping, and can drive stepper motors at 5V.
