DRV8876PWPT

Overview

The DRV8876PWPT is a half-bridge motor driver manufactured by Texas Instruments, designed for brushed DC motor applications. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 37 V and supports an output current of 3.5 A. The device features integrated current sensing with a dedicated sense output. It utilizes a 16-pin HTSSOP package and functions across a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. The component includes hardware management interfaces and low quiescent current characteristics.

Feature Summary

• Integrated current sensing with dedicated current sense output
• Hardware management interface for simplified control
• Low power consumption in sleep mode

Applications

• Brushed DC motor control systems
• Industrial automation equipment
• Printers and scanners

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix PWPT to confirm the HTSSOP-16 package type and tape-and-reel or cut-tape availability. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official datasheets. Ensure design-in compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the 16-HTSSOP form factor before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single half-bridge configuration with integrated current monitoring is required. It is suitable for applications needing a wide input voltage range up to 37 V. Consider thermal performance requirements given the 3.5 A continuous output capability and the specific thermal characteristics of the HTSSOP package.

Part Context

This part belongs to the DRV8876 family of motor drivers from Texas Instruments. The family includes variants such as DRV8876PWPR and DRV8876RGTR, which differ primarily in packaging options like TSSOP and VQFN. These devices are categorized under PMIC and motor controllers, targeting efficient and compact motor drive solutions.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible alternatives within the DRV8876 series, such as DRV8876PWPR. Verify that any substitute maintains the same 3.5 A current rating and 37 V maximum voltage specifications to ensure functional equivalence in the target application.
