DRV8838DSGR Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The DRV8838DSGR from Texas Instruments is an integrated H-bridge motor driver designed for low-voltage and battery-powered applications. It can drive one DC motor or other loads like solenoids, providing up to 1.8A of peak output current.

 

This device operates with a motor supply voltage ranging from 0 to 11V and a logic supply voltage from 1.8V to 7V. The control interface utilizes a PH/EN (Phase/Enable) signal, compatible with standard hardware GPIOs. Key electrical characteristics include a low on-resistance (HS + LS) of 280 mΩ and a low-power sleep mode with a maximum sleep current of 120 nA.

 

Protection features are integrated to enhance reliability, including Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO), Overcurrent Protection (OCP), and Thermal Shutdown (TSD). The DRV8838DSGR is housed in a compact 8-pin WSON package with an exposed pad, measuring 2.0 mm x 2.0 mm, suitable for space-constrained designs.

 

This motor driver is suitable for applications such as cameras, consumer products, and toys requiring precise motion control.
