1. General The P808 is a high performance microstepping driver based on the most advanced technology in the world today. It is suitable for driving any 2-phase and 4-phase hybrid step motors (current 7.7A). By using advanced bipolar constant-current chopping techniques, it can output more speed and power from the same motor, compared with traditional technologies such as L/R drivers.

8. Driver Connection to Stepper Motors The P808 driver can drive any 4, 6 or 8 lead hybrid stepper motors. The following diagrams illustrate connection to various kinds of motor leads: Note that when two coils are connected in parallel, coil inductance is reduced by half and motor speed can be significantly increased.
