DRV8213DSGR

Overview

The DRV8213DSGR is an 11-V, 4-A brushed DC motor driver from Texas Instruments. It features an integrated N-channel H-bridge with a total RDS(on) of 240 mΩ. The device operates on a supply voltage range of 1.65 V to 11 V and supports load voltages up to 11 V. Key integrated functions include current sense, current regulation, and stall detection. It is housed in an 8-pin WSON (DSG) package and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 125°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrated N-channel H-bridge for efficient brushed DC motor control
• Built-in current sensing and regulation capabilities
• Hardware-based stall detection mechanism

Applications

• Brushed DC motor drive systems
• Small appliance motor control
• Industrial automation actuators

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix DSGR corresponds to the WSON-8EP package and reel packaging configuration. Confirm that the operating voltage requirements align with the 1.65 V to 11 V specification. Ensure thermal management solutions are adequate for the intended power dissipation levels within the -40°C to 125°C ambient range.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact solution for low-voltage brushed DC motors is required. The integrated protection features reduce external component count compared to discrete H-bridge designs. Consider the 240 mΩ internal resistance for efficiency calculations at high current loads near the 4 A limit.

Part Context

This part belongs to the DRV8213 series of motor drivers designed for space-constrained applications. It integrates power switches and control logic into a single small footprint. The DSGR variant specifically denotes the tape-and-reel packaging format suitable for automated surface-mount assembly processes.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 4-A current rating, 11-V max voltage, and WSON-8 package. Verify pin compatibility and thermal characteristics before swapping.
