3 Description

The DRV8874 is an integrated motor driver with N-

channel 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.
