Does anyone know what this is?

XJS 9471E4 ULN2003AN.

That looks like a ULN2003 driver for a 28byj stepper motor.

What number is written on the top of the IC?

It is a steppper motor driver.

Looks like ULN2003?

yes likely ULN2003, they are usually sold in green

===> yes ikely ULN2003, they are usually sold in green

no, really, I maintain "likely" because there is no way to be sure since there is no marking on their IC... could be a counterfeit ULN2003 for example

Oke, so i use this device to control stepper motor?

it says ULN, i edited the post.

This is the schematic of one-section of ULN2003 power buffer. It may be helpful for motor wiring ang logic injection. For complete schematic, check the data sheets.


OK,thank you for your time i really appreciate it!

But only unipolar steppers like 28BYJ-48. You cannot drive bipolar steppers with this board.

okok

The ULN200x chips were originally made to drive solenoids and relays. They have built in flyback diodes.

For exaample, they were used, back in the day, to interface old teretype machines to early microcontrollers to make printers.
