Try Integrated Micro Systems (IMS), they have exactly this kind of thing as
well as evaluation boards (the chip and support circuits and drive 
transistors for small steppers all in one).  They have a bunch of different
options, so give them a call at (800) 528-9185 to get literature and figure 
out which one you want.
