1.1 Introduction

The DRV8213, DRV8214, DRV8215, DRV8234, and DRV8235 family of devices consists of low or medium voltage single integrated H-bridge driver with following features:

  • DRV8213: 11V / 4A brushed DC motor driver with integrated current sense, current regulation and stall detection.
  • The DRV8213 is a low voltage motor driver with integrated H-bridge FETs capable of driving up to 4A peak (for 4.2µs duration). The main feature of this driver is the stall detection feature. When stall detection is active, the driver reports a STALL flag when a motor stall is detected. Please read the device data sheet to learn about how stall detection works in this device.
  • DRV8214: 11V / 4A brushed DC motor driver with sensorless position control, stall detection, speed regulation, and voltage regulation.
  • The DRV8214 is a high-performance integrated H- bridge motor driver with current sense output, current regulation, stall detection, motor speed regulation, sensorless position control based on ripple counting, and protection circuitry. The tripler charge pump allows the device to operate down to 1.65V to accommodate 1.8V supply rails and low- battery conditions. The charge pump integrates all capacitors and allows for 100% duty cycle operation. The DRV8214 is capable of driving up to 4A peak or 2A RMS continuously.
  • DRV8215: 11V / 4A brushed DC motor driver with stall detection, speed regulation, and voltage regulation.
  • The DRV8215 has all the features of DRV8214, except for the sensorless position control based on ripple counting. The DRV8215 still has stall detection, speed regulation, voltage regulation, and soft start/stop.
  • DRV8234: 38V / 2A Brushed DC motor driver with sensorless position control, stall detection, speed regulation, and voltage regulation
  • The DRV8234 is a high-performance integrated H- bridge motor driver with current sense output, current regulation, stall detection, motor speed regulation, sensorless position control based on ripple counting, and protection circuitry. The device operates from a 4.5V to 38V supply voltage. The charge pump integrates all capacitors and allows for 100% duty cycle operation. The DRV8234 is capable of driving up to 4A peak or 2A RMS continuously.
  • DRV8235: 38V / 2A Brushed DC Motor Driver with Stall Detection, Speed Regulation, and Voltage Regulation
  • The DRV8235 has all the features of DRV8234, except for the sensorless position control based on ripple counting. The DRV8235 still has stall detection, speed regulation, voltage regulation, and soft start/stop.

This document is provided with the DRV8213, DRV8214, DRV8215, DRV8234, and DRV8235 evaluation modules (EVM) as a supplement to the DRV8213, DRV8214, DRV8215, DRV8234, and DRV8235 data sheets. This user's guide covers EVM hardware setup instructions, GUI installation, and usage instructions.
