Two-chip designs combining a microcontroller or DSP with a highly integrated driver IC simplify the design of a stepper-motor controller, while also enabling sophisticated control features that ...

A sophisticated, compact stepper-motor controller/driver module offers advanced performance and ramping profiles in servo applications.

It is small, at 1.6 inches (40 mm) square, and provides up to 2 amps drive current for one axis and up to 1 amp for the second, with an optional second stepper or bi-directional dc driver daughtercard ...

Leveraging the Trinamic TMC2208 stepper motor driver gives Ethersweep silky smooth and quiet motor control, which could be very important for some applications.

Picking the correct driver is of course completely project-dependent, and reliant on how much control you need over the stepper motor, as well as your budget for said driver.
