The DRV8801PWPR is an integrated circuit (IC) component developed by Texas Instruments. It is a brushed DC motor driver that provides a convenient solution for driving low-voltage, low-current motors. The IC is designed to deliver high performance and efficiency while ensuring protection features to prevent damage to the motor.
One key feature of the DRV8801PWPR is its compact size, making it suitable for space-constrained applications. The IC comes in a small thermally-enhanced HTSSOP package, allowing for easy integration into various motor control systems.
The DRV8801PWPR is capable of driving a single brushed DC motor with a supply voltage range of 8.2V to 45V. It can handle continuous motor current up to 2.8A, with peak current up to 3.2A. This makes it versatile for driving various types of small motors.
The IC incorporates four logic input pins that allow for easy control and direction selection of the motor. It supports both directional and braking operation modes, enabling precise motor control. Additionally, the DRV8801PWPR can be easily interfaced with microcontrollers or other control devices.
Another notable feature of the DRV8801PWPR is its built-in protection mechanisms. It includes undervoltage lockout (UVLO) protection, which prevents the IC from operating if the supply voltage falls below a minimum threshold. This helps to prevent damage to the motor and the IC during low voltage conditions
