Product Overview

The DRV8311 is a Texas Instruments three-phase PWM motor driver for 3-phase brushless DC motors. Its power stage uses three integrated MOSFET half-H-bridges, with a VM motor supply operating range of 3 V to 20 V and a VM absolute maximum of 24 V. Output current drive capability is specified at 5 A peak, and the typical high-side plus low-side MOSFET on-state resistance is 210 mOhm at TA=25°C.

The device is supplied in a 24-pin WQFN package with a 3.00 mm x 3.00 mm body. Control options include 6x PWM, 3x PWM, and PWM generation mode, with PWM operation up to 200 kHz. Integrated current sensing provides SOA, SOB, and SOC outputs for OUTA, OUTB, and OUTC, without requiring external sense resistors.

DRV8311 variants include DRV8311H, DRV8311S, and DRV8311P. DRV8311H uses hardware configuration, DRV8311S uses SPI, and DRV8311P supports SPI/tSPI with AD0 and AD1 address pins. Integrated protection includes VM undervoltage lockout, charge pump undervoltage protection, overcurrent protection, and thermal warning and shutdown.
