Overview

The DRV8873HPWPRQ1 is an AEC-Q100 qualified integrated H-bridge motor driver designed for brushed DC motors in automotive and industrial applications. It supports a wide load voltage range from 4.5V to 38V and can handle peak output currents up to 10A, featuring integrated current sensing and a hardwired (HW) control interface.

Why Choose This Part

This driver eliminates the need for external shunt resistors by providing a proportional current output (IPROPI) for real-time monitoring. It includes robust protection features such as overcurrent, thermal shutdown, and spread spectrum clocking to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) in sensitive environments.

Applications

Automotive Power Actuators
Ideal for driving brushed DC motors in electronic throttles, EGR valves, and power windows where AEC-Q100 reliability is required.
Industrial Robotics
Used in small robot joints and precision motion control systems that require high current density and integrated protection.
Solenoid and Relay Control
Can be configured to drive inductive loads other than motors, such as large high-current solenoids.

Getting Started

To evaluate this part, use the DRV8873-Q1EVM evaluation module which allows for testing of both SPI and Hardware interface variants. Ensure the 24-PowerTSSOP thermal pad is properly soldered to a large copper area on the PCB to manage heat dissipation during 10A peak operations.
