When I search for the chip, I can only find the datasheets and your library https://github.com/janelia-arduino/TMC429, seems like you can't buy them easily.
Digi-Key seems to have plenty of TMC429 available:

That seems to be only the chip, right? I assume most people are like me using this library for an arduino project and I don't have the skills to do bga soldering or order a pcb to mount it (which will be quite expensive).
There is a breakout board for the chip as well:

Thank you, by searching for TMC429-BOB I get some results that I can buy it from. Still 20€ is quite expensive, but now I know what I am looking for.
