DRV8955PPWPR

Full Half-Bridge (H Bridge) Drivers Overview

The DRV8955PPWPR is a quad half-bridge motor driver manufactured by Texas Instruments, designed for brushed DC and bipolar stepper motor applications. It operates with a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 48 V and delivers a continuous output current of 2.5 A per channel. The device features an integrated charge pump to support high-side N-channel MOSFET driving. It includes comprehensive protection mechanisms such as overcurrent protection, thermal shutdown, and undervoltage lockout. The component is housed in a 28-pin HTSSOP package and supports operation across a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

Full Half-Bridge (H Bridge) Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix PPWPR corresponds to the HTSSOP-28 package and reel packaging configuration. Confirm that the 48V maximum rating aligns with your system's power supply limits. Ensure thermal management solutions are adequate for the expected load current within the specified operating temperature range.

Full Half-Bridge (H Bridge) Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a single IC solution is required to drive multiple brushed DC or bipolar stepper motors. It is suitable for designs needing independent channel control with integrated protection features. Consider the 2.5A per channel capability and 48V supply range against your specific motor requirements.

Full Half-Bridge (H Bridge) Drivers Part Context

This part belongs to the DRV895x series of motor drivers from Texas Instruments. It shares architectural similarities with other devices in the family but is distinguished by its 48V rating and 2.5A per channel output current. It serves as a specialized solution for mid-power motor control applications requiring high integration.
