Dear experts,
While analyzing the DRV8462-Q1 it is clear that it has a wide array of useful features. However, one of the main constraints in the design we are working on is the IC's ability to withstand the harsh environment in low earth orbit.
I am familiar with SEP (Space enhanced plastic) parts that TI offers:
Reduce the Risk in Low-Earth Orbit Missions with Space Enhanced Plastic Products (Rev. A)
Space design resources | TI.com
However, I am unable to find any SEP motor drivers. Due to this we are designing the driver for our stepper motors discretely, however if there are any parts in the pipeline or part replacements that could help us overcome the challenges and provide higher reliability, I am more than open to suggestions. Additionally, if there are any simpler parts, or parts capable of handling 4 stepper motors with SEP considerations I would love to hear some suggestions.
Sincerely,
Pedro Arango Ramirez
