7.3.2 DVDD Linear Voltage Regulator

A 3.3-V, 30-mA linear regulator is integrated into the DRV8304 device and is available for use by external circuitry. This regulator can provide the supply voltage for a low-power microcontroller or other low-current supporting circuitry. The output of the DVDD regulator should be bypassed near the DVDD pin with a X5R or X7R, 1-µF, 6.3-V ceramic capacitor routed directly back to the adjacent AGND ground pin.

The DVDD nominal, no-load output voltage is 3.3 V. When the DVDD load current exceeds 30 mA, the regulator functions like a constant-current source. The output voltage drops significantly with a current load greater than 30 mA.

DRV8304 drv8304_dvdd_linear_regulator_block.gifFigure 24. DVDD Linear Regulator Block Diagram

Use Equation 1 to calculate the power dissipated in the device because of the DVDD linear regulator.

Equation 1. DRV8304 eq_01_power_slvsdj3.gif

For example, at VVM = 24 V, drawing 20 mA out of DVDD results in a power dissipation as shown in Equation 2.
