The DRV8837DSGR is an IC component that is designed for low-voltage brushed DC motor applications. It is a dual H-bridge motor driver that can be used to control the direction and speed of two motors independently. With a wide operating voltage range of 0.8V to 11V, it is suitable for battery-powered devices and various robotic applications.
Key Features:
1. Dual H-Bridge Configuration: The DRV8837DSGR consists of two independent H-bridges, allowing it to control the movement of two motors simultaneously. Each H-bridge can deliver a maximum continuous current of up to 1.5A, making it suitable for small to medium-sized motors.
2. Low Voltage Operation: It boasts an operating voltage range from 0.8V to 11V, making it compatible with a wide range of power sources, including single-cell batteries or low-voltage power supplies.
3. PWM Control: The DRV8837DSGR supports pulse width modulation (PWM) control, allowing users to vary the speed of the motors by adjusting the duty cycle of the PWM signal. This feature enables precise speed control and the ability to implement features like motor braking.
4. Thermal Shutdown Protection: To prevent the IC from overheating and potential damage, the DRV8837DSGR incorporates built-in thermal shutdown protection. This functionality shuts down the H-bridges when the die temperature exceeds a safe limit
