DRV8955PRGER

Full Half-Bridge (H Bridge) Drivers Overview

The DRV8955PRGER is a quad half-bridge driver manufactured by Texas Instruments, designed for driving DC motors, solenoids, and stepper motors. It operates with a supply voltage up to 50 V and delivers an output current of 2.5 A per channel. The device integrates current sense amplifiers for each half-bridge, enabling precise current control and protection. It features full individual half-bridge control, allowing flexible configuration for various load types including two DC motors or one stepper motor. The component is housed in a 24-pin VQFN package.

Full Half-Bridge (H Bridge) Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix PRGER confirms the VQFN package and reel quantity when sourcing. Ensure compatibility with system voltage requirements not exceeding 50 V. Confirm thermal management solutions are adequate for the intended current load within the 24-pin VQFN footprint. Cross-reference datasheet revision dates to ensure feature consistency.

Full Half-Bridge (H Bridge) Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component when integrated current sensing is required without external amplifiers. It is suitable for applications needing independent control of four half-bridges. Consider the 2.5 A current rating and 50 V breakdown voltage against peak load demands. Evaluate thermal performance in the VQFN package for high-duty cycle operations.

Full Half-Bridge (H Bridge) Drivers Part Context
