DESCRIPTION
DRV11873 is a three phase, sensorless motor driver with integrated power MOSFETs with drive current
capability up to 1.5-A continuous and 2-A peak. DRV11873 is specifically designed for low noise and low external
component count fan motor drive applications. DRV11873 has built in over current protection with no external
current sense resistor needed. The synchronous rectification mode of operation achieves increased efficiency for
motor driver applications. DRV11873 outputs FG and RD to indicate motor status with open drain output. A 150°
sensorless BEMF control scheme is implemented for a three phase motor. DRV11873 is available in the
thermally efficient 16-pin TSSOP package. The operation temperature is specified from -40°C to 125°C.
