3 Description

The DRV824x-Q1 family of devices is a fully

integrated H-bridge driver intended for a wide

range of automotive applications. The device can

be configured as a single full-bridge driver or as

two independent half-bridge drivers. Designed in a

BiCMOS high power process technology node, this

monolithic family of devices in a power package

offer excellent power handling and thermal capability

while providing compact package size, ease of layout,

EMI control, accurate current sense, robustness, and

diagnostic capability. This family provides an identical

pin function with scalable RON (current capability) to

support different loads.

The devices integrate a N-channel H-bridge, charge

pump regulator, high-side current sensing with

regulation, current proportional output, and protection

circuitry. A low-power sleep mode is provided to

achieve low quiescent current. The devices offer

voltage monitoring and load diagnostics as well

as protection features against over current and

over temperature. Fault conditions are indicated on

nFAULT pin. The devices are available in three

variants - hardwired interface: HW (H) and two SPI

interface variants: SPI(P) and SPI(S), with SPI (P)

for externally supplied logic supply and SPI (S) for

internally generated logic supply. The SPI interface

variants offer more flexibility in device configuration

and fault observability.
