3 Description

The DRV8704 is a dual-brushed motor controller for

industrial equipment applications. The device controls

external N-channel MOSFETs configured as two Hbridges.

Motor current can be accurately controlled using

adaptive blanking time and various current decay

modes, including an automatic mixed decay mode.

A simple PWM interface allows easy interfacing to

controller circuits. A SPI serial interface is used to

program the device operation. Output current

(torque), gate drive settings, and decay mode are all

programmable through a SPI serial interface.

Internal shutdown functions are provided for

overcurrent protection, short-circuit protection, gate

driver faults, undervoltage lockout (UVLO), and

overtemperature. Fault conditions are indicated by a

FAULTn pin, and each fault condition is reported by a

dedicated bit through SPI.

The DRV8704 is packaged in a PowerPAD™ 38-pin

HTSSOP package with thermal pad (Eco-friendly:

RoHS & no Sb/Br).
