3 Description
The DRV8874 is an integrated motor driver with Nchannel
H-bridge, charge pump, current sensing and
proportional output, current regulation, and protection
circuitry. The charge pump improves efficiency by
supporting N-channel MOSFET half bridges and
100% duty cycle driving. The family of devices come
in pin-to-pin RDS(on) variants to support different loads
with minimal design changes.
An internal current mirror architecture on the IPROPI
pin implements current sensing and regulation. This
eliminates the need for a large power shunt resistor,
saving board area and reducing system cost. The
IPROPI current-sense output allows a microcontroller
to detect motor stall or changes in load conditions.
Using the external voltage reference pin, VREF,
these devices can regulate the motor current during
start-up and high-load events without interaction from
a microcontroller.
A low-power sleep mode achieves ultra-low quiescent
current draw by shutting down most of the internal
circuitry. Internal protection features include supply
undervoltage lockout, charge pump undervoltage,
output overcurrent, and device overtemperature.
Fault conditions are indicated on nFAULT.
