ADVANCE INFORMATION
3.3V and 5V linear regulators are integrated into the DRV8376 family of devices and is available for use by external circuitry. The AVDD and GVDD regulators are used for powering up the internal digital circuitry of the device and additionally, this regulator can also provide the supply voltage for a low-power MCU or other circuitry supporting low current (up to 30mA). The output of the AVDD regulator should be bypassed near the AVDD pin with an X5R or X7R, 0.1µF, 6.3V ceramic capacitor routed directly back to the adjacent AGND ground pin. The output of the GVDD regulator should be bypassed near the GVDD pin with an X5R or X7R, 1µF, 10V ceramic capacitor routed directly back to the adjacent AGND ground pin.
The AVDD nominal, no-load output voltage is 3.3V.
Use Equation 1 and Equation 2 to calculate the power dissipated in the device by the AVDD and GVDD linear regulator with VM as supply.
For example, at a VVM of 24 V, drawing 20 mA out of AVDD results in power dissipation as shown in Equation 3.
