DRV8870
SLVSCY8A – AUGUST 2015 – REVISED JANUARY 2016
7.1 Overview
The DRV8870 is an optimized 8-pin device for driving brushed DC motors with 6.5 to 45 V and up to 3.6-A peak
current. The integrated current regulation restricts motor current to a predefined maximum. Two logic inputs
control the H-bridge driver, which consists of four N-channel MOSFETs that have a typical R_ds(on) of 565 mΩ
(including one high-side and one low-side FET). A single power input, VM, serves as both device power and the
motor winding bias voltage. The integrated charge pump of the device boosts VM internally and fully enhances
the high-side FETs. Motor speed can be controlled with pulse-width modulation, at frequencies between 0 to 100
kHz. The device has an integrated sleep mode that is entered by bringing both inputs low. An assortment of
protection features prevent the device from being damaged if a system fault occurs.
