1.4 Device Information

The DRV8376 integrates three 1/2-H bridges, has a very low RDS(ON) of 400mΩ (high-side plus low-side) to enable high power drive capability, and allows customer to drive 4.5V - 65V (70V absolute maximum) brushless-DC motors

Current is sensed using an integrated current sensing feature which eliminates the need for external sense resistors. Power management features with integrated LDO generate the necessary voltage rails for the device and can be used to power external circuits.

The DRV8376 is capable of driving a PWM frequency up to 100kHz. The control scheme is highly configurable through hardware pins or register settings ranging from motor current limiting behavior to fault response.
