MP6526GR-P

Overview

The MP6526GR-P is a hex half-bridge motor driver manufactured by Monolithic Power Systems. It integrates six independent half-bridges capable of driving bipolar stepper motors, DC brushed motors, and solenoids. The device features serial input control for simplified interfacing with microcontrollers. It operates within a supply voltage range of 7 V to 28 V and delivers an output current of 900 mA per channel. The component is housed in a QFN-24 package and supports a maximum power dissipation of 3 W.

Feature Summary

• Integrates six independent half-bridge drivers for versatile motor control applications
• Utilizes serial input interface to reduce pin count and simplify system design
• Includes integrated protection mechanisms against thermal overload and short circuits

Applications

• Bipolar stepper motor control systems
• DC brushed motor drive circuits
• Solenoid actuation modules
• Automotive fan and pump controllers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'P' indicates tape and reel packaging configuration. Confirm that the GR designation aligns with the required QFN-24 package dimensions and lead finish specifications for your PCB layout. Ensure compatibility with the 7 V to 28 V operating range required by your target application circuit.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-channel-count motor driver is required within a compact footprint. The serial interface reduces GPIO usage compared to parallel control alternatives. Consider the 900 mA output capability and 28 V maximum voltage rating to ensure adequate headroom for your specific motor load requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MP6526 family of motor drivers from Monolithic Power Systems. The series provides integrated solutions for controlling multiple motor phases without external discrete power components. The GR variant specifically denotes the QFN-24 surface-mount package option suitable for automated assembly processes.

Replacement Considerations

MP6526GU-Z is a parameter-equivalent alternative within the same product family. Verify package compatibility as the GU variant may differ in physical dimensions or thermal characteristics compared to the GR package.
