DRV8962DDWR

Full Half-Bridge (H Bridge) Drivers Overview

The DRV8962DDWR is a wide-voltage, high-power four-channel half-bridge driver from Texas Instruments. It supports a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 65 V and delivers up to 5 A per output in the DDW package. The device integrates N-channel power MOSFETs with a typical on-resistance of 53 mΩ for both high-side and low-side switches. It features an integrated charge pump, current detection and regulation circuits, and comprehensive protection mechanisms including overcurrent, overtemperature, and undervoltage lockout.

• Supports logic inputs compatible with 1.8 V, 3.3 V, and 5.0 V levels
• Includes programmable output rise/fall times and fault recovery methods

Full Half-Bridge (H Bridge) Drivers Applications

• Industrial automation and PLC systems
• Stepper motor drivers and robotics
• Medical imaging and diagnostic equipment
• BLDC motor modules and brushed DC motor drives
• Thermoelectric cooler (TEC) control

Full Half-Bridge (H Bridge) Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix DDWR corresponds to the HTSSOP-44 surface-mount package. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation. Check for Product Change Notifications regarding assembly source or material updates. Ensure ESD handling procedures are followed due to moisture sensitivity classification.

Full Half-Bridge (H Bridge) Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a 65 V rating is required compared to the 55 V DRV8952. The DDW package provides higher current capacity than the PWP variant. Consider the integrated current sense outputs if external shunt resistors are undesirable. Verify thermal management requirements for continuous 5 A operation at elevated temperatures.

Full Half-Bridge (H Bridge) Drivers Part Context

This part belongs to the DRV89x2 family of half-bridge drivers. It shares pinout compatibility with the DRV8952 and DRV8955 but offers an extended voltage range up to 65 V. The device is designed for applications requiring precise current control and robust fault protection in industrial environments.

Full Half-Bridge (H Bridge) Drivers Replacement Considerations

The DRV8952DDWR is a lower voltage (55 V) alternative within the same package. The DRV8955PWP offers similar functionality but in a different package with lower current ratings. Cross-reference datasheets for thermal performance differences.
