DRV8836DSSR

Overview

The DRV8836DSSR is a dual low-voltage H-bridge integrated circuit manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features two H-bridge drivers capable of driving one stepper motor, two DC motors, or solenoids. The output driver block utilizes N-channel power MOSFETs configured as an H-bridge. Each H-bridge includes circuitry to regulate or limit winding current. The device supports a supply voltage range from 2.7 V to 11 V and delivers up to 1.5 A continuous output current per bridge. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and is housed in a WSON-12 package.

Feature Summary

• Integrates two H-bridge drivers with N-channel power MOSFETs for bidirectional control
• Includes internal circuitry for winding current regulation and limiting
• Supports multiple load configurations including stepper motors and dual DC motors

Applications

• Battery-powered motion control systems
• Toy mechanisms
• Printer drive units
• Camera lens actuators

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix DSSR corresponds to the WSON-12 package and reel packaging configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official datasheets. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB footprint and thermal requirements for the WSON-12 form factor before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual H-bridge solution is required for low-voltage applications. It is suitable for designs needing independent control of two DC motors or a single bipolar stepper motor. Consider the 1.5 A continuous current rating and the WSON-12 package size relative to board space constraints.

Part Context

The DRV8836 belongs to the DRV883x family of dual low-voltage H-bridge ICs from Texas Instruments. This family provides integrated motor driver solutions designed for cost-sensitive and space-constrained applications. The device simplifies design by integrating high-side and low-side drivers and control logic into a single compact package.

Replacement Considerations

The DRV8835DSSR is a documented alternative within the same product family offering similar dual H-bridge functionality.
