3 Description
The DRV8824 provides an integrated motor driver
solution for printers, scanners, and other automated
equipment applications. The device has two H-bridge
drivers and a microstepping indexer, and is intended
to drive a bipolar stepper motor. The output driver
block consists of N-channel power MOSFETs
configured as full H-bridges to drive the motor
windings. The DRV8824 is capable of driving up to
1.6 A of current from each output (with proper
heatsinking, at 24 V and 25°C).
A simple STEP/DIR interface allows easy interfacing
to controller circuits. Mode pins allow for configuration
of the motor in full-step up to 1/32-step modes. Decay
mode is configurable so that slow decay, fast decay,
or mixed decay can be used. A low-power sleep
mode is provided which shuts down internal circuitry
to achieve very-low quiescent current draw. This
sleep mode can be set using a dedicated nSLEEP
pin.
Internal shutdown functions are provided for
overcurrent, short circuit, undervoltage lockout, and
over temperature. Fault conditions are indicated
through the nFAULT pin.
