DRV8434A Stepper Motor Driver Carrier
This breakout board for TI’s DRV8434A microstepping bipolar stepper motor driver offers microstepping down to 1/256-step and operates from 4.5 V to 48 V. It can deliver up to approximately 1.2 A continuous per phase without a heat sink or forced air flow (2 A peak). The driver has integrated stall detection and uses a ripple control algorithm that allows tight regulation of current level and increased motor efficiency. The module has a pinout and interface that are very similar to that of our popular A4988 carriers, so it can be used as a drop-in replacement for those boards in many applications. It features built-in protection against under-voltage, over-current, and over-temperature conditions.

Notes:
- 1
- Without included optional headers.
- 2
- Inputs below 6 V reduce the maximum settable current limit. With 4.5 V in the maximum settable limit is 1.75 A.
- 3
- Not intended for use with 48V batteries, which can be well above nominal when fully charged.
- 4
- Without a heat sink or forced air flow.
- 5
- With sufficient additional cooling.
- 6
- Logic high threshold varies for two-state, tri-state, and quad-state pins. See datasheet for details.
- 7
- Absolute maximum voltage on any input is 5.75 V.
