The DRV8835DSSR is an integrated circuit (IC) component designed to control and drive brushed DC motors. It is commonly used in various applications, including robotics, automotive, and industrial systems. This IC incorporates several key features that make it a reliable and efficient motor driver.
One of the primary features of the DRV8835DSSR is its dual H-bridge motor driver. This means that it can control two separate motors independently, making it suitable for applications requiring precise control of multiple motors. Each H-bridge can deliver a continuous current of up to 1.5A, allowing it to drive a wide range of small to medium-sized DC motors.
The DRV8835DSSR operates over a wide voltage range, from 2.7V to 10.8V, making it compatible with various power supply sources. Additionally, it offers a low voltage dropout feature, ensuring consistent performance even when the power supply voltage is close to the motor voltage.
To simplify control and interface, this IC supports both parallel and serial control modes. In parallel mode, the motor speed and direction can be controlled using simple digital input pins. On the other hand, the serial control mode enables the use of a single data line for controlling multiple ICs in a daisy-chain configuration.
The DRV8835DSSR incorporates a built-in fault detection mechanism, including overtemperature, overcurrent, and undervoltage lockout protection
