Overview

The DRV8871DDARQ1 is an automotive-qualified (AEC-Q100) H-bridge motor driver designed for brushed DC motors. It operates over a wide 6.8V to 45V supply range and can deliver up to 3.6A of peak output current. The device features integrated current regulation that eliminates the need for an external sense resistor, simplifying PCB layout and reducing BOM cost.

Why Choose This Part

This driver integrates current sensing and regulation, removing the power-dissipating external sense resistor typically required. It features a low-power sleep mode consuming only 13uA and includes robust protection circuitry such as undervoltage lockout, overcurrent protection, and thermal shutdown with automatic recovery.

Applications

Automotive Brushed DC Motors
Ideal for vehicle systems such as power windows, seat adjusters, and sunroof actuators requiring AEC-Q100 reliability.
Industrial Actuators
Used in solenoid control and relay driving where high voltage headroom up to 45V is required.
Robotic Drivetrains
Provides precise PWM control for small to medium brushed DC motors in robotic platforms.

Getting Started

To evaluate this part, use the DRV8871EVM evaluation module which provides a hardware platform for testing PWM duty cycle and current limit settings. Connect a microcontroller PWM output to the IN1/IN2 pins for bidirectional control, and set the current limit via a single resistor on the ILIM pin.
