It is designed to operate bipolar stepper motors in full, half, quarter, eighth, and sixteenthstep modes, with an output drive capacity of up to 35 v and 2 a. This allows you to control the speed and direction of two dc motors, or control one bipolar stepper motor with ease. The a4988 is a complete microstepping motor driver with builtin translator for easy operation. The driver chips are interfaced via a dedicated pwm driver chip with an i2c interface. All about stepper motors created by bill earl last updated on 20200217 12. A stepper motor is an electric motor that rotates in discrete step increments. Although it is not super accurate or powerful, it is a great motor to use for smaller projects or if you just want to learn about stepper motors. A simple and popular drive topology is to supply only as much voltage as needed, utilizing the resistance rl of the winding to limit. To apply these ics designers need little specific knowledge of motor driving techniques, but an understanding of the basics will help in finding the best solution.
