8 Application and Implementation

NOTE

Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.

8.1 Application Information

The DRV8844 can be used to drive one stepper motor, multiple brushed DC motors, or multiple other inductive loads.

The outputs can be connected in parallel to increase the drive current. If connecting the outputs as in a full-bridge configuration, any two outputs can be connected in parallel. If configured as two independent half bridges, OUT1 and OUT2 must be paired, and OUT3 and OUT4 must be paired. This pairing is because pin 6 (SRC12) is the source for the low-side FETs of OUT1 and OUT2, and pin 9 (SRC34) is the source for the low-side FETs of OUT3 and OUT4.

An optional sense resistor can be used to monitor the current. If using sense resistors, place the resistor between the SRC12 or SRC34 pins and the VNEG pins.

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure

8.2.2.1 Motor Voltage

The ratings of the motor selected and the desired RPM determine the motor voltage the designer should use. A higher voltage spins a brushed DC motor faster with the same PWM duty cycle applied to the power FETs. A higher voltage also increases the rate of current change through the inductive motor windings.
