DRV8847: Drop in replacement for BA6845FS or with minimal PCB change

Part Number: DRV8847
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DRV8835,

Tool/software:

Hi, I am looking for the replacement with minimal board changes for the IC BA6845FS to drive Motor MLT-288 bipolar stepper motor. help me to find the same. In TI Cross reference it gives DRV88471RTER as a potential alternate. but i feel DRV8835 is also an alternate with minimal pcb change. help me to understand more in design aspect

  • Hello,

    Glad you are looking into TI solutions! We have many devices that could support your applications. 

    The DRV8847 likely came up as a replacement because if matches the BA6845FS in functionality and pin count (16-pin). The DRV8835 is also a likely alternative but does have only a 12-pin WSON (12) option. Both would likely be a good alternative to BA6845FS.

    Best,
