3 Description

The DRV8842 provides an integrated motor driver

solution for printers, scanners, and other automated

equipment applications. The device has one H-bridge

driver, and is intended to drive one DC motor, one

coil of a stepper motor, or other loads. The output

driver block consists of N-channel power MOSFETs

configured as an H-bridge. The DRV8842 can supply

up to 5-A peak or 3.5-A RMS output current (with

proper heatsinking at 24 V and 25°C).

Separate inputs to independently control each half of

the H-bridge are provided.

Internal shutdown functions are provided for

overcurrent protection, short-circuit protection,

undervoltage lockout, and overtemperature.

TheDRV8842 is available in a 28-pin HTSSOP

package with PowerPAD™ (Eco-friendly: RoHS & no

Sb/Br).
