FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The DRV2603 is a haptic driver designed specifically
to solve common obstacles in driving both Linear
Resonance Actuator (LRA) and Eccentric Rotating
Mass (ERM) haptic elements. The DRV2603 is also
designed for low latency, has excellent efficiency, and
plenty of drive strength for actuators commonly used
in the portable market.

LRA actuators typically have a narrow frequency
band over which they have an adequate haptic
response. This frequency window is typically ±2.5 Hz
wide or less, so driving an LRA actuator presents a
challenge. The DRV2603 solves this problem by

employing
auto
resonance
tracking,
which
automatically detects and tracks the optimum
commutation frequency. This means that any input
PWM frequency within the input range (10 kHz to 250
kHz) will automatically produce the correct resonant
output frequency. As an additional benefit, the
DRV2603 implements an optimal braking algorithm to
stop the LRA from ringing out, leaving the user with a
crisp haptic sensation.
Differential Drive from Single-Ended Input
Wide Supply Voltage Range of 2.5 V to 5.2 V
1.8 V Compatible, 5 V Tolerant Digital Pins
Available in a 2 mm × 2 mm × 0.75 mm
leadless QFN package (RUN)
For both ERM and LRA actuators, the DRV2603
automatic input level translation solves issues with
low voltage PWM sources without adding additional
external components, so if the digital I/O levels vary,
the output voltage does not change. The DRV2603
also has supply correction that ensures no supply
regulation is required for constant vibration strength,
allowing an efficient, direct-battery connection.
