DRV8801PWP

Overview

The DRV8801PWP is a full-bridge motor driver manufactured by Texas Instruments, designed for brushed DC and bipolar stepper motors. It operates within an 8V to 36V supply voltage range and delivers a continuous output current of 2.8A with a peak capability of 4.5A. The device integrates control logic and power stages in a 16-pin HTSSOP package. It features a parallel interface for command input and includes built-in protection mechanisms such as overcurrent protection, thermal shutdown, and undervoltage lockout. The component supports operation across a junction temperature range of -40°C to 150°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates full-bridge driver with control logic for simplified system design
• Includes comprehensive protection against overcurrent, thermal overload, and low voltage conditions
• Supports both PWM and analog speed control methods via parallel interface

Applications

• Brushed DC motor control in home appliances
• Bipolar stepper motor driving in industrial automation
• Solenoid and valve actuation systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'PWPR' or 'PWP' when ordering, as packaging formats differ between tape-and-reel and tube configurations. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements for your assembly process. Ensure the selected variant matches the required operating temperature range and current specifications for the target application.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring integrated drive and control functions without external logic gates. Consider the 2.8A continuous current rating and 36V maximum voltage limit when sizing the power supply. Evaluate the thermal performance requirements based on the HTSSOP package's heat dissipation capabilities and ambient operating conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the DRV880x family of motor drivers from Texas Instruments, which also includes variants like the DRV8800. These devices are engineered for cost-sensitive, space-constrained designs requiring reliable motor control. The family shares similar architectural features but may differ in current ratings, pinouts, or specific protection thresholds depending on the exact model number.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other DRV8801 variants with different packaging options, such as DRV8801PWPT (tube) or DRV8801PWPR (reel). Cross-family replacements should be evaluated carefully due to potential differences in pin compatibility, current handling, and control interface protocols.
