JAJSL26B January 2021 – April 2022 DRV8316
PRODUCTION DATA
Brushless-DC motors are typically rated for a certain voltage (for example 12 V or 24 V). Operating a motor at a higher voltage corresponds to a lower drive current to obtain the same motor power. Operating at lower voltages generally allows for more accurate control of phase currents. The DRV8316 functions down to a supply of 4.5V. A higher operating voltage also corresponds to a higher obtainable rpm. The DRV8316 allows for a range of possible operating voltages because of a maximum VM rating of 40 V.
