DRV8825
DRV8825 functional block diagram
The DRV8825 provides an integrated motor driver solution for printers, scanners and
other automated equipment applications. The device has two H-bridge drivers and can
drive a Bipolar stepper motor. Each of the output driver block consists of N-channel
power MOSFET configured as full H-bridges to drive the motor windings. The DRV8825
can supply up to 2.5 A peak or 1.75 A RMS output current (with proper heatsinking at
24 V and 25°C).
