Hey MJ,

Thank you for your question.

Most of the stepper drivers we have are meant for bipolar stepper but you are able to use bipolar stepper drivers to drive unipolar stepper motors. Please consult this app note for more info: https://www.ti.com/lit/an/sloa312/sloa312.pdf

Some drivers that fit your criteria for voltage and current include : DRV8825, and DRV8426

For more options feel free to use our search tool to find the ideal driver for your application (control method, min voltage etc.)
