DRV8256PRGER

Overview

The DRV8256PRGER is a Texas Instruments brushed DC motor driver featuring an H-bridge configuration. It supports a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 48 V and delivers an output current of 8 A. The device operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and consumes 4 mA in working power. Packaged in a Reel format for surface mount installation, it belongs to the DRV8256 series under PMIC classification.

Feature Summary

• Integrates an H-bridge architecture for driving brushed DC motors
• Includes internal current sensing capabilities

Applications

• Brushed DC motor control systems
• Industrial automation equipment
• General motion control applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package type and tape/reel specifications against the official datasheet before ordering. Confirm that the 8 A output current rating aligns with your thermal management design, as performance depends on adequate heat dissipation. Ensure the 48 V maximum supply voltage matches your system requirements. Check RoHS compliance status if required by your manufacturing standards.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an 8 A drive capability is required for brushed DC motors within a 48 V system. The integrated current sensing simplifies protection circuitry. Consider the HTSSOP-28 package variant (DRV8256EPWPR) if a different footprint is needed. Verify thermal performance at your target operating current to ensure reliability within the specified temperature range.

Part Context
