A peripheral driver is a type of integrated circuit (IC) that can be used to drive relays, solenoids, stepper motors, LEDs, and other peripherals. These peripheral driver ICs are typically described as high-voltage, high-current Darlington transistor arrays, multi-channel relay and inductive load sink drivers, or quadruple Half-H drivers.
Peripheral Drivers are useful for driving both low and high voltage peripherals within appliance, HVAC, automotive, telecom, and other applications.
The BOOSTXL-ULN2003 BoosterPack can be paired with an MSP430 Launchpad (ti.com/launchpad) to drive stepper motors and help understand stepper motor driving patterns. See http://www.ti.com/tool/boostxl-uln2003 for additional information including hardware evaluation and software examples.
