DRV8847: Drop in replacement for BA6845FS or with minimal PCB change

Tool/software:

Hi, I am looking for the replacement with minimal board changes for the IC BA6845FS to drive Motor MLT-288 bipolar stepper motor. help me to find the same. In TI Cross reference it gives DRV88471RTER as a potential alternate. but i feel DRV8835 is also an alternate with minimal pcb change. help me to understand more in design aspect
