Alpha,

We do have one device in the portfolio.

It may work for your application depending on current needs and interface required. The DRV8424 uses a STEP/DIR interface while the DRV8823 is a serial interface.

The DRV8424 is available in a small 4x4 package and integrates the external sense resistors that are required for the DRV8823. So, using 2x DRV8424 would be much smaller than the dual driver above.

Hi Ryan,

Thanks your prompt reply.

It is true that the layout area is limited. I will consider to use two driver IC.

thanks.
