Stepper motor drivers ?

Post by Clyde Crashkop »

I am designing a circuit board to control 4 unipolar stepper motors. I planned on using the Allegro 5804 but they are obsolete. I have looked into some of their newer chips but can’t find much info or application notes. I want this board to drive any motor from 9 volts to 24 volts or more and at least 1 amp. What unipolar stepper motor driver chips do you guys like and where can I find info and application notes for them?

Try the Texas Instruments SN754410 Quadruple Half-H Driver.

It can handle 4.5 to 36 volts at 1 amp.
