9.2.2.3 Interface Selection
The I²C interface is required to configure the device. The device can be used fully with the I²C interface and with
either RTP or internal memory. The advantage of using the I²C interface is that no additional GPIO (for the
IN/TRIG pin) is required for firing effects, and no PWM signal is required to be generated. Therefore the IN/TRIG
pin can be connected to GND. Using the external trigger pin has the advantage that no I²C transaction is
required to fire the pre-loaded effect, which is a good choice for interfacing with a button. The PWM interface is
available for backward compatibility.
9.2.2.4 Power Supply Selection
The DRV2604L device supports a wide range of voltages in the input. Ensuring that the battery voltage is high
enough to support the desired vibration strength with the selected actuator is an important design consideration.
The typical application uses Li-ion or Li-polymer batteries which provide enough voltage headroom to drive most
common actuators.
If very strong vibrations are desired, a boost converter can be placed between the power supply and the V_DD pin
to provide a constant voltage with a healthy headroom (5-V rails are common in some systems) which is
particularly true if two AA batteries in series are being used to power the system.
