3 Description
The DRV8870 is a brushed-DC motor driver for
printers, appliances, industrial equipment, and other
small machines. Two logic inputs control the H-bridge
driver, which consists of four N-channel MOSFETs
that can control motors bidirectionally with up to 3.6-A
peak current. The inputs can be pulse-width
modulated (PWM) to control motor speed, using a
choice of current-decay modes. Setting both inputs
low enters a low-power sleep mode.
The DRV8870 features integrated current regulation,
based on the analog input VREF and the voltage on
pin ISEN, which is proportional to motor current
through an external sense resistor. The ability to limit
current to a known level can significantly reduce the
system power requirements and bulk capacitance
needed to maintain stable voltage, especially for
motor startup and stall conditions.
The device is fully protected from faults and short
circuits, including under-voltage (UVLO), over-current
(OCP), and over-temperature (TSD). When the fault
condition is removed, the device automatically
resumes normal operation.
