3 Description
The DRV8821 provides a dual microstepping-capable
stepper motor controller/driver solution for printers,
scanners, and other office automation equipment
applications.
Two independent stepper motor driver circuits include
four H-bridge drivers and microstepping-capable
indexer logic. Each of the motor driver blocks employ
N-channel power MOSFETs configured as an H-
bridge to drive the motor windings.
A simple step/direction interface allows easy
interfacing to controller circuits. Pins allow
configuration of the motor in full-step, half-step,
quarter-step, or eighth step modes, and the selection
of slow or mixed decay modes.
Internal shutdown functions are provided for over
current protection, short-circuit protection,
undervoltage lockout, and overtemperature.
The DRV8821 is packaged in a 48-pin HTSSOP
package (Eco-friendly : RoHS & no Sb/Br).
