DRV8212PDSGR

Overview

The DRV8212PDSGR is a low-voltage H-bridge motor driver manufactured by Texas Instruments, designed for brushed DC and bipolar stepper motors. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.65 V to 11 V and supports a load voltage up to 11 V. The device delivers an output current of 4 A with a quiescent operating current of 1.6 mA. It features an NMOS technology interface accepting PWM and open/switch signals. Packaged in an 8-WSON (2x2 mm) format with exposed pad, it functions reliably across a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates full control logic and power stages for simplified system design
• Supports PWM and open/switch input interfaces for flexible control schemes
• Operates on low supply voltages suitable for battery-powered applications

Applications

• Camera lens actuators
• Vibration motors
• Small fans
• Solenoids

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'P' against the official datasheet to confirm pin-to-pin compatibility and functional equivalence with other variants in the DRV8212 family. Ensure the WSON-8 package dimensions match the target PCB footprint. Confirm that the 4 A output rating aligns with the thermal management capabilities of the final assembly, as high current operation may require adequate copper area for heat dissipation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact solution is required for driving small brushed DC or bipolar stepper motors in portable devices. The low supply voltage range makes it suitable for single-cell lithium-ion battery applications. Consider the 8-WSON package size constraints and verify that the 4 A peak current capability meets the motor's stall requirements without exceeding thermal limits under continuous operation conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the DRV8212 series of low-voltage H-bridge drivers from Texas Instruments. It is specifically engineered for space-constrained portable electronics where efficient power management and minimal external component count are critical. The series targets applications requiring precise control of small electromechanical loads such as camera modules and haptic feedback systems.
