This breakout board for TI’s DRV8434S microstepping bipolar stepper motor driver operates from 4.5 V to 48 V and can deliver up to approximately 1.2 A continuous per phase without a heat sink or forced air flow (2 A peak). The SPI interface allows configuration of the current limit, step mode (11 step modes from full-step through 1/256-step), decay mode, and stall detection. The driver also features built-in protection against under-voltage, over-current, and over-temperature conditions. This version of the board uses an on-board potentiometer for setting the maximum current limit, and SPI can be used to set the actual current limit to intermediate values in increments of the set maximum/16.

Identifying markings

PCB dev codes: md43b
Other PCB markings: 0J13692

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.
