3 Description
The DRV887x family of devices are flexible motor
drivers for a wide variety of applications. The devices
integrate an N-channel H-bridge, charge pump
regulator, current sensing and regulation, current
proportional output, and protection circuitry. The
charge pump improves efficiency by allowing for both
high-side and low-side N-channels MOSFETs and
100% duty cycle support. The family of devices come
in pin-to-pin, scalable RDS(on) options to support
different loads with minimal design changes.
Integrated current sensing allows for the driver to
regulate the motor current during start up and high
load events. A current limit can be set with an
adjustable external voltage reference. Additionally,
the devices provide an output current proportional to
the motor load current. This can be used to detect
motor stall or change in load conditions. The
integrated current sensing uses an internal current
mirror architecture, removing the need for a large
power shunt resistor, saving board area and reducing
system cost.
A low-power sleep mode is provided to achieve ultralow
quiescent current draw by shutting down most of
the internal circuitry. Internal protection features are
provided for supply undervoltage lockout (UVLO),
charge pump undervoltage (CPUV), output
overcurrent (OCP), and device overtemperature
(TSD). Fault conditions are indicated on nFAULT.
