7.1 Overview

The DRV8935 integrates four 2.5-A half-H bridges for industrial applications. The device supports a wide 4.5-V to 33-V supply voltage and can drive up to four solenoid loads.

A simple PWM interface option allows easy interfacing to the outputs. The trip point for current regulation is controlled by the value of the VREF pin voltage. The PWM off-time, tOFF, can be adjusted to 7, 16, 24, or 32 μs. A low-power sleep mode is included which lets the system save power when not driving the load.

A variety of integrated protection features protect the device in the case of a system fault. These include undervoltage lockout (UVLO), charge pump undervoltage (CPUV), overcurrent protection (OCP), and overtemperature shutdown (TSD). Fault conditions are indicated on the nFAULT pin.
