DRV8816PWPR

Overview

The DRV8816PWPR is a fully integrated brushed DC motor driver manufactured by Texas Instruments, housed in a 16-HTSSOP surface-mount package. It utilizes DMOS technology to provide two half-bridge outputs capable of delivering up to 2.8A continuous output current. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 8V to 38V and supports load voltages from 8V to 38V. Designed for robust performance, it functions across an extended junction temperature range of -40°C to 190°C. The component features parallel interface control and integrates both the control logic and power stage into a single chip.

Feature Summary

• Fully integrated design combining control logic and power stage for simplified implementation
• DMOS technology enabling high-current drive capability for brushed DC motors
• Extended thermal performance supporting operation up to 190°C junction temperature

Applications

• Brushed DC motor control in general purpose applications
• Industrial automation systems requiring reliable motor drivers
• Consumer appliances utilizing small DC motors

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to ensure correct packaging configuration. Confirm that the 16-HTSSOP package dimensions align with your PCB footprint requirements. Check the latest datasheet for any updates regarding moisture sensitivity levels or recommended soldering profiles to ensure assembly reliability.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact solution for driving brushed DC motors is required. The integrated nature reduces external component count compared to discrete solutions. Ensure the application voltage does not exceed the 38V maximum rating. Consider the thermal management needs given the high junction temperature capability and the power dissipation characteristics inherent to the DMOS technology in the specified package.

Part Context

This part belongs to the DRV8816 family of motor drivers from Texas Instruments. It is designed as a cost-effective and space-saving alternative to discrete motor driver circuits. The PWPR suffix indicates the specific tape-and-reel packaging variant intended for automated surface-mount assembly processes.

Replacement Considerations

Consult the official datasheet for direct pin-to-pin compatible alternatives within the same product family. Verify electrical specifications such as output current and voltage ratings before substituting with other motor driver ICs.
