DRV8873 H-Bridge Motor Driver
1 Features
3 Description
The DRV8873 device is an integrated driver IC for
driving a brushed DC motor in industrial applications.
Two logic inputs control the H-bridge driver, which
consists of four N-channel MOSFETs that drive
motors bi-directionally with up to 10-A peak current.
The device operates from a single power supply and
supports a wide input supply range from 4.5 V to 38
V.

A PH/EN or PWM interface allows simple interfacing
to controller circuits. Alternatively, independent half-
bridge control is available to drive two solenoid loads.

Current Mirror for Output Current Sensing
Configurable Control Interface
A current mirror allows the controller to monitor the
load current. This mirror approximates the current
through the high-side FETs, and does not require a
high-power resistor for sensing the current.

A low-power sleep mode is provided to achieve very-
low quiescent current draw by shutting down much of
the internal circuitry. Internal protection functions are
provided for undervoltage lockout, charge pump
faults, overcurrent protection, short-circuit protection,
open-load detection, and overtemperature. Fault
conditions are indicated on an nFAULT pin and
through the SPI registers.
