Overview

The DRV8876NPWPR is an integrated H-bridge motor driver designed for brushed DC, stepper, and solenoid applications. It supports a wide operating voltage up to 37V and can deliver a peak output current of 3.5A, featuring integrated current sensing and regulation for precise control.

Why Choose This Part

This driver eliminates the need for external sense resistors by using an integrated current mirror architecture, saving PCB space and reducing BOM cost. It includes a suite of protection features including undervoltage lockout, charge pump faults, overcurrent protection, and thermal shutdown.

Applications

Brushed DC Motor Drive
Provides bidirectional control for small to medium brushed motors in industrial and consumer devices.
Solenoid Control
Efficiently drives electromagnetic actuators and solenoids with programmable current limiting.
Robotic Actuators
Ideal for battery-powered or wall-powered robotics requiring compact, high-current motion control.
Bipolar Stepper Motors
Can be used to drive a single phase of a bipolar stepper motor when used in pairs.

Getting Started

Engineers can evaluate this part using the DRV8876EVM evaluation module, which provides a simple interface for testing current regulation and PWM control. Ensure the PowerPAD is properly soldered to a large ground plane to manage thermal dissipation at high current loads.
