What are the key features of DRV8884RHRT?
- Up to 1/16 microstepping resolution for ultra-smooth motion with minimized vibration and acoustic noise
- Integrated current sensing eliminates external sense resistors, reducing BOM cost and PCB area
- 1.7 A peak output current in a compact 28-pin QFN package for space-efficient motor drive designs
What is DRV8884RHRT used for?
DRV8884RHRT drives bipolar stepper motors in 3D printers, robotic joints, and precision positioning stages where smooth 1/16-microstep motion reduces mechanical resonance and audible noise. The integrated current sensing removes the need for external sense resistors, simplifying PCB layout and cutting BOM cost in automated optical inspection and label printing systems. Its STEP/DIR interface is directly compatible with popular motion control MCUs and FPGA stepper controllers.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does 1/16 microstepping in DRV8884RHRT reduce vibration compared to full-step operation?
At full-step, stator current switches abruptly between phase states, creating torque ripple and resonance that manifests as vibration and audible noise at low speeds. DRV8884RHRT's 1/16 microstepping divides each full step into 16 smaller increments by shaping sinusoidal phase currents, reducing torque ripple by roughly 80% and lowering audible noise significantly in camera focus actuators and lab automation stages.
What peak output current does DRV8884RHRT deliver, and how is the RMS current limit set?
DRV8884RHRT supports a 1.7 A peak output current per winding. The RMS current limit is configured by an analog voltage on the VREF pin, where the driver's internal current regulation scales coil current proportionally. This lets designers set a 0.5 A to 1.0 A RMS limit for low-torque applications to reduce motor heating without changing firmware, using a simple resistor divider from the supply to VREF.
How does DRV8884RHRT's integrated current sensing compare to discrete sense resistors in a 3D printer design?
Traditional stepper drivers use two external 0.1 Ω to 0.2 Ω power sense resistors per driver, dissipating 25 mW to 100 mW at 0.5 A to 1.0 A. DRV8884RHRT's integrated current sensing eliminates these resistors, saving 2 components and approximately 20 mm² of PCB space per driver, while reducing total copper power loss. This is especially valuable in compact 4-axis 3D printer control boards where 8 sense resistors would otherwise be needed.
