DESCRIPTION/ORDERING INFORMATION
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, under voltage
lockout and overtemperature.
The DRV8821 is packaged in a 48-pin HTSSOP package (Eco-friendly : RoHS & no Sb/Br).
