DRV8825 Stepper Motor Driver

The DRV8825 stepper motor driver carrier is a breakout board for TI’s DRV8825 microstepping bipolar stepper motor driver.

The module has a pinout and interface that are nearly identical to those of A4988 stepper motor driver module, so it can be used as a higher-performance drop-in replacement for those boards in many applications. The DRV8825 stepper motor driver features adjustable current limiting, overcurrent and overtemperature protection, and six microstep resolutions (down to 1/32-step). It operates from 8.2 – 45 V and can deliver up to approximately 1.5 A per phase without a heat sink or forced air flow.

Specification

• Simple step and direction control interface

• Six different step resolutions: full-step, half-step, 1/4-step, 1/8-step, 1/16-step, and 1/32-step

• Adjustable current control lets you set the maximum current output with a potentiometer, which lets you use voltages above your stepper motor’s rated voltage to achieve higher step rates

• Intelligent chopping control that automatically selects the correct current decay mode (fast decay or slow decay)

• 45 V maximum supply voltage

• Built-in regulator (no external logic voltage supply needed)

• Can interface directly with 3.3 V and 5 V systems

• Over-temperature thermal shutdown, over-current shutdown, and under-voltage lockout

• Short-to-ground and shorted-load protection
