Motor-driver integration for battery-powered boards
The MPC17550EVEL is a fully integrated driver that combines control logic and power stage in one 36-SSOP package — no external FETs needed for the half-bridge outputs. It drives both brushed DC and bipolar stepper motors, with eight half-bridge outputs rated 700 mA each. The parallel interface simplifies connection to a microcontroller's GPIO without a serial protocol.
