DRV8213RTER

Overview

The DRV8213RTER is a fully integrated H-bridge motor driver manufactured by Texas Instruments, designed for driving brushed DC motors. It features an N-channel power stage with an integrated charge pump regulator and capacitors to minimize external component count and PCB area. The device supports a wide supply voltage range of 1.65V to 11V and delivers a peak output current of 4A. It includes internal current sensing and regulation via a current mirror, eliminating the need for large shunt resistors. An IPROPI output provides current feedback for microcontroller-based stall detection. The chip incorporates automatic sleep mode for ultra-low static current consumption and integrates protection circuits including overcurrent protection (OCP), thermal shutdown (TSD), and undervoltage lockout (UVLO).

Feature Summary

• Integrated N-channel H-bridge with built-in charge pump and capacitors for compact solution size.
• Internal current sensing and regulation using a current mirror for precise control without external shunts.
• Hardware stall detection capability in RTE package utilizing IPROPI signal and configurable TINRUSH timer.
• Automatic low-power sleep mode triggered by PWM input state to extend battery life.

Applications

• Brushed DC motor drives in industrial automation systems
• Camera lens actuation mechanisms
• Consumer electronics requiring compact motor control

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'RTER' corresponds to the WQFN package variant when sourcing. Confirm that hardware stall detection features are utilized only if the RTE package pinout is available in the design. Ensure the application voltage remains within the 1.65V to 11V range to maintain proper operation of the integrated charge pump and logic levels.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, fully integrated solution for brushed DC motors is required. It is suitable for applications needing high peak current capability with minimal external passive components. Consider the RTE package specifically if hardware stall detection functionality is necessary for the system safety or performance requirements.
