Overview

The DRV8833RTYR is a dual H-bridge motor driver capable of driving two DC brushed motors, a bipolar stepper motor, or other inductive loads. It operates from a supply voltage of 2.7V to 10.8V and provides up to 1.5A of output current per bridge. The device features integrated PWM current regulation and a low-power sleep mode that consumes only 1.6uA.

Why Choose This Part

This driver integrates power NMOS FETs and current-sensing circuitry, eliminating the need for external sense resistors in many designs. Its wide supply range down to 2.7V supports modern low-voltage logic and battery chemistries while providing robust protection against overcurrent and overtemperature conditions.

Applications

Battery-Powered Robotics
Ideal for small mobile robots using 2-cell LiPo or 4-cell NiMH batteries due to the low minimum operating voltage of 2.7V.
Solenoid Drivers
The dual H-bridge configuration allows for bidirectional or independent control of multiple solenoids in industrial or consumer valves.
Bipolar Stepper Motors
Can be used to drive a single bipolar stepper motor using PWM to regulate winding current.
Smart Locks
The compact 4x4mm QFN package and ultra-low sleep current make it suitable for space-constrained, battery-operated security hardware.

Getting Started

To evaluate this part, use the DRV8833EVM evaluation module which provides a hardware platform for testing different motor loads. Interface the IN1/IN2 and IN3/IN4 pins with standard MCU PWM outputs to control speed and direction. Ensure the exposed thermal pad is soldered to a large ground plane to manage heat dissipation at higher current levels.
