3 Description

The DRV8841 provides an integrated dual H-bridge

motor driver solution for printers, scanners, and other

automated equipment applications. The device can

be used to drive one or two brushed DC motors, a

bipolar stepper motor, or other loads. A simple PWM

interface allows easy interfacing to controller circuits.

The output driver block consists of N-channel power

MOSFETs configured as H-bridges. The DRV8841 an

supply up to 2.5-A peak or 1.75-A RMS output current (with proper heat sinking at 24 V and

TA = 25°C) per H-bridge.

A low-power sleep mode is provided which shuts

down internal circuitry to achieve very low quiescent

current draw. This sleep mode can be set using a

dedicated nSLEEP pin. Internal protection features are provided for overtemperature, overcurrent, and

undervoltage. Fault conditions are indicated by a

nFAULT pin.
