7.1 Overview

The DRV8421 is an integrated stepper motor driver solution for two DC motors or a bipolar stepper motor. The device integrates two H-bridges that use NMOS drivers. It can be powered with a supply range between 4 to 18 V and is capable of driving a maximum of 2 A driver current (4 A in parallel mode operation).

A simple PWM interface allows easy interfacing to the controller circuit.

Two versions exist in the device, namely, DRV8421A, a 4-wire input device, and DRV8421B, a 2-wire input device. The DRV8421A allows control of four half bridges using four inputs while the DRV8421B has two inputs to control four half bridges. The DRV8421B consists of additional features like the low-power sleep mode to save power when not driving the motor and fault detection using the nFAULT pin.
