Stepper motor NEMA 17 and DRV8833

Projects General Guidance

Hello,
I recently got a stepper motor NEMA 17 for my project. I also bought a motor control (DRV 8833).
I have been researching about how I can build the circuit for a while now, and I realized that in most of the circuits they have an external 12V power supply. I know that the DRV 8833 has power supply for motors until 10V DC. However, I am not sure if this is sufficient for NEMA 17. I would be happy if someone can make things more clear for me in this. Thank you in advance

datasheet for DRV 8833: https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/drv8833.pdf?ts=1634302775121&ref_url=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.google.com%252F

This defines only the mechanical part of the motor ( the mounting flange ). Electrical characteristics can be very different between different NEMA17 steppers. Provide a link to the datasheet of your motor.
The DRV8833 is not very suitable for a stepper. Because of its limited voltage it can drive only small steppers. Most NEMA17 are designed for a current driver and cannot be used with your driver ( a simple H-bridge ) at all.
