2.3.3 DRV8837

The DRV883x family of devices provides an integrated motor-driver solution for cameras, consumer products, toys, and other low-voltage or battery-powered, motion control applications. The device can drive one DC motor or other devices like solenoids. The output driver block consists of N-channel power MOSFETs configured as an H-bridge, to drive the motor winding. An internal charge pump generates the needed gate-drive voltages.

The DRV883x family of devices can supply up to 1.8 A of output current. The device operates on a motor power-supply voltage from 0 to 11 V, and a device power-supply voltage of 1.8 V to 7 V. The DRV8837 device has a PWM (IN1-IN2) input interface, and the DRV8838 device has a PH-EN input interface. Both interfaces are compatible with industry-standard devices. Internal shutdown functions are provided for overcurrent protection, short-circuit protection, undervoltage lockout, and overtemperature.

For all available packages, see the orderable addendum at the end of the DRV883x Low-Voltage H-Bridge Driver data sheet.
