Hi team,

Is the DRV3245E-Q1 able to control a bipolar stepper motor?

If not, what TI stepper motor driver alternative [with ISO262262 ref. and high diagnostic coverage] can you recommend?

Thanks,

Obinna.

Obinna,

Thanks for posting on the MD forum!

Unfotunately the DRV3245 cannot drive stepper motors. I will forward your post to the Stepper team for their recommendation.

Please note that the post will not move but internally the team will be notified.

Regards,

-Adam

Obinna,

Our stepper motor drivers can be used in a system to meet ISO 26262 Functional Safety Standard. But, I won't think they cannot support ISO 26262 Functional Safety Standard alone. So, the system design handles the ISO26262.
