DRV8821 Overview
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 Hbridge to drive the motor windings.
