DRV8881PPWPR 2.5-A Dual H-Bridge Motor Driver
The DRV8881PPWPR is a robust, industrial-grade dual H-bridge motor driver from Texas Instruments, designed to drive bipolar stepper motors or one/two brushed DC motors efficiently. Housed in a compact 28-pin HTSSOP surface-mount package, it operates over a wide 6.5V to 45V supply voltage range, delivering up to 2.5A peak (1.4A RMS) output current per bridge. This device integrates two N-channel power MOSFET H-bridges with a low 630mΩ total on-resistance (HS+LS), minimizing power loss and heat generation. It features configurable PWM control (DRV8881P variant), adjustable current regulation via an internal sense amplifier, and multiple decay modes (slow, fast, mixed) for smooth motor operation. A built-in 3.3V LDO regulator simplifies system design, while an ultra-low-power sleep mode (28µA) conserves energy in standby. Comprehensive protection circuits (undervoltage, overcurrent, short-circuit, thermal shutdown) and a dedicated nFAULT pin ensure reliable performance across the extended -40°C to +125°C temperature range.
