DRV 8825 is an updated version of the A4988 stepper motor driver ...

The DRV 8825 provides an integrated motor driver solution for printers, scanners, and other automated equipment applications. The device has two H-bridge drivers and a microstepping indexer, and is intended to drive a bipolar stepper motor. The output driver block consists of N-channel power MOSFET’s configured as full H-bridges to drive the motor windings. The DRV8825 is capable of driving up to 2.5 A of current from each output ( with proper heat sinking, at 24 V and 25°C).


The driver has a pinout and interface that are nearly identical to those of a A4988 stepper motor driver carriers, so it can be used as a higher-performance drop-in replacement for those boards in many applications ...
