DRV8800: searching 3-phase stepper motor driver

Part Number: DRV8800
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DRV8962, DRV8952, DRV8145-Q1

Tool/software:

Hi, 

I'm searching for a motor driver IC that can drive a 3-phase stepper motor. 
The exact type of the stepper motor is: FL573P56-5606A 
The link: 
https://id.c.misumi-ec.com/book/VONA1_FUX_V/pdf/0058.pdf

As far as i can see there are only motor driver IC's for two phase stepper motors. 
Do you have any suggestions for my situation? 


Kind regards,

  • Hi Bert,

    Thanks for reaching out to us via this forum. Please check out this TI Reference design, https://www.ti.com/lit/ug/tiducn7/tiducn7.pdf

    Alternatively you can build a custom driver using one our integrated Half-Bridge HB drivers such as the DRV8962, DRV8952 - these are quad you'd require only three HB's.  Another option would be to use integrated single HB drivers such as the DRV8145-Q1, 3x of them. The drive sequence can be generated using an MCU for these drivers. I hope this helps. Thank you.
