This product is a carrier board or breakout board for the DRV8434S stepper motor driver from Texas Instruments (TI); we therefore recommend careful reading of the DRV8434S datasheet before using this product. This stepper motor driver lets you control one bipolar stepper motor at up to approximately 1.2 A continuous per phase without a heat sink or forced air flow
- Output voltage: 9 V with 4% accuracy
- Input voltage: 1.3 V to 16 V (Note: minimum start-up voltage is 2.7 V)
- Typical efficiency of 85% to 95%, depending on input voltage, output voltage, and load
- Switching frequency: ~1.2 MHz under heavy loads
- Power-save mode that increases light load efficiency by reducing switching frequency
- Typical no-load quiescent currents under 1 mA
- 2 A switch current limit
- Typical continuous input currents up to around 1.6 A
- Tolerates input voltage above output set voltage (output will track input)
- Integrated protections:
- Over-temperature shutdown
- Soft-start feature limits inrush current and gradually ramps output voltage
- Under-voltage lockout
- Compact size: 0.515″ × 0.32″ × 0.1″ (13.1 × 8.1 × 3 mm)
- Weight: 0.4 g
