DRV8952PWPR

Full Half-Bridge (H Bridge) Drivers Overview

The DRV8952PWPR is a Texas Instruments 55V four-channel half-bridge driver designed for industrial applications. It features integrated N-channel power MOSFETs with a 50mΩ on-resistance at 24V and 25°C. The PWP package supports up to 4A per output current capacity. Operating voltage ranges from 4.5V to 55V, with logic inputs supporting 1.8V, 3.3V, and 5.0V levels. It includes a low-current sleep mode drawing 3μA and comprehensive protection against UVLO, overcurrent, and thermal shutdown.

Full Half-Bridge (H Bridge) Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'PWPR' corresponds to the PWP package type when sourcing. Confirm that the required output current does not exceed the 4A limit per channel associated with this package variant. Ensure system design accounts for the 55V maximum supply voltage rating. Check for RoHS compliance status as indicated in official documentation before finalizing procurement specifications.

Full Half-Bridge (H Bridge) Drivers Selection Notes

Select the DRV8952PWPR when a 55V operating range and 4A per-channel current capability are required. This part is suitable for driving single stepper motors, two brushed DC motors, or multiple solenoids. Consider the DDW package variant if higher 5A current ratings or additional programmable features like fault recovery methods are needed instead of the standard PWP configuration.

Full Half-Bridge (H Bridge) Drivers Part Context

This component belongs to the DRV89xx family of quad half-bridge drivers from Texas Instruments. It shares functional similarities with the DRV8955 and DRV8962 but differs in voltage ratings and current capacities. The DRV8952 specifically targets applications requiring a balance between moderate voltage tolerance and high current drive capabilities within a compact surface-mount package.

Full Half-Bridge (H Bridge) Drivers Replacement Considerations

The DRV8955PWP is a pin-to-pin compatible alternative offering 48V operation with 2.5A per channel. For higher voltage requirements, the DRV8962DDW provides 65V support with 5A per channel in a different package. Verify pin compatibility and thermal performance when substituting these variants.
