Key Differentiators
- Higher microstepping resolution (1/32) vs A4988 (1/16) (vs A4988)
- Wider voltage range (45V) vs A4988 (35V) (vs A4988)
- Higher output current (2.5A) vs DRV8824 (1.6A) (vs DRV8824PWPR)
Design Notes
The DRV8825PWPR can dissipate significant power at high currents. For example, at 2.5A with RDS(on) of 0.55 ohm, each H-bridge dissipates about 1.7W, totaling 3.4W for both bridges. The HTSSOP package has a thermal resistance of about 30C/W (with exposed pad), so at 25C ambient, the junction temperature could reach 127C. Ensure adequate PCB copper area (at least 1 square inch) connected to the thermal pad, and consider forced airflow for continuous operation above 1.5A.
Place a 100nF ceramic capacitor close to the VM pin and a 10uF electrolytic capacitor nearby to handle current transients. Use a 100nF capacitor on VDD. The sense resistors (if used) should be low-inductance types and placed close to the device. Route the STEP and DIR signals away from high-current traces to avoid noise coupling. The exposed thermal pad must be soldered to a large copper pour for heat dissipation.
Do not exceed the absolute maximum VM of 45V. Ensure the logic supply VDD is within 3.3V-5V; applying higher voltage can damage the device. The nFAULT pin is open-drain and requires a pull-up resistor. When using current regulation, set the sense resistor value correctly to avoid overcurrent. Also, note that the DRV8825 does not have a built-in STEP/DIR interface for full-step; it requires external microstepping control via the MODE pins.
