3 Description
The DRV8844 provides four individually controllable
1/2-H-bridge drivers. It can be used to drive two DC
motors, one stepper motor, four solenoids, or other
loads. The output driver channel for each channel
consists of N-channel power MOSFET’s configured in
a 1/2-H-bridge configuration.
The DRV8844 can supply up to 2.5-A peak or 1.75-A
RMS output current per channel (with proper PCB
heatsinking at 24 V and 25°C) per H-bridge.
Separate inputs to independently control each 1/2-Hbridge
are provided. To allow operation with split
supplies, the logic inputs and nFAULT output are
referenced to a separate floating ground pin.
Internal shutdown functions are provided for over
current protection, short circuit protection,
undervoltage lockout, and overtemperature.
The DRV8844 is available in a 28-pin HTSSOP
package with PowerPAD™ (Eco-friendly: RoHS & no
Sb/Br).
