7.3 Feature Description

Table 1 lists the recommended external components for the DRV8884 device.

Table 1. External Components

COMPONENT PIN 1 PIN 2 RECOMMENDED
CVM VM GND Two 0.01-µF ceramic capacitors rated for VM
CVM VM GND Bulk electrolytic capacitor rated for VM
CVCP VCP VM 16-V, 0.22-µF ceramic capacitor
CSW CPH CPL 0.022-µF X7R capacitor rated for VM
CAVDD AVDD GND 6.3-V, 0.47-µF ceramic capacitor
CDVDD DVDD GND 6.3-V, 0.47-µF ceramic capacitor
RnFAULT VCC (1) nFAULT >4.7 kΩ
RREF RREF GND Resistor to limit chopping current must be installed. See the Typical Application section for value selection.
(1) VCC is not a pin on the DRV8884, but a VCC supply voltage pullup is required for open-drain output nFAULT; nFAULT may be pulled up to DVDD
