DRV8803PWP

Overview

The DRV8803PWP is a quad low-side driver integrated circuit manufactured by Texas Instruments, housed in a 16-pin PowerTSSOP package. It operates with a supply voltage range of 8.2V to 60V and supports an output current of 1A per channel. The device features parallel interface control and is designed for driving unipolar stepper motors or solenoids. It includes internal power MOSFETs and functions as a fully integrated driver with control and power stages. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -40°C to 150°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates four independent low-side drivers with parallel input control
• Contains internal power MOSFETs for direct load driving without external components
• Provides full integration of control logic and power stage circuitry
• Supports operation with unipolar stepper motors and solenoid loads

Applications

• Unipolar stepper motor control systems
• Solenoid driver circuits
• General purpose low-side switching applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix PWP confirms the tube packaging format and HTSSOP-16 variant. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status for environmental regulations. Check for End-of-Life notifications as availability may be restricted. Ensure the design-in process accounts for the thermal performance requirements of the PowerTSSOP package under maximum load conditions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a quad low-side configuration is required for unipolar stepper or solenoid applications. It is suitable for designs needing a single IC to drive multiple loads with parallel interface simplicity. Consider the 60V maximum rating for higher voltage systems. Evaluate thermal dissipation capabilities given the 1A continuous current rating per channel in the specified package.

Part Context

The DRV8803 belongs to Texas Instruments' family of low-side driver ICs. It serves as a non-synchronous alternative to serial interface variants like the DRV8804. The PWP suffix denotes the specific 16-pin PowerTSSOP physical footprint. This part integrates the necessary gate drive and protection circuitry for efficient motor and solenoid control.

Replacement Considerations

DRV8803PWPR is the reel-packaged equivalent from the same manufacturer.
