DRV8873 in DRV88x Motor Drivers Family
The DRV8873 family by Texas Instruments is a highly integrated H-bridge gate driver designed for bidirectional control of brushed DC motors. Engineered for robustness, these drivers utilize N-channel MOSFETs to deliver high current output with minimal thermal overhead. They are primarily utilized in automotive and industrial environments where space is at a premium and integrated protection features, such as overcurrent and thermal shutdown, are critical for system reliability and longevity.
