Product Overview
The DRV8711 is a Texas Instruments Power_Management stepper motor controller IC intended for bipolar stepper motor control or two brushed DC motor channels when paired with external N-channel MOSFETs. Its motor pre-driver architecture supports external power stages, while the integrated microstepping indexer provides full-step through 1/256-step operation.
Control can be implemented through STEP/DIR inputs for stepper operation or through a PWM interface for brushed DC motor use. A SPI serial interface programs output current, step mode, decay mode, and stall detection settings, giving the controller a register-configured operating model.
The device is supplied in a PowerPAD HTSSOP (DCP), 38-pin package with a 9.70 mm x 4.40 mm body. Recommended operation includes an 8 to 52 V motor supply range, -40 to 85 °C ambient temperature range, and a 5 V regulator output rated for 0 to 10 mA external load current. Fault handling includes a FAULTn pin and SPI fault bits for OCP, PDF, OTS, and UVLO conditions.

Procurement Notes
When requesting a quote for DRV8711, buyers should confirm the manufacturer, package or case, required quantity, target date code, compliance documents, packing method, destination country and expected delivery schedule.
If alternatives are acceptable, buyers should share the approved vendor list, required electrical or optical limits, package constraints and qualification requirements. Any alternative part should be reviewed by the buyer's engineering team before production use.
For power IC and power device sourcing, voltage rating, current rating, power dissipation, package thermal performance, protection features, qualification grade and application conditions should be reviewed before approval.
FAQ
What motor supply voltage does the DRV8711 support?
The DRV8711 has a recommended motor supply operating voltage range of 8 to 52 V. The power supply absolute maximum voltage is listed separately as -0.6 to 60 V with respect to ground.
Which motor configurations are supported by the DRV8711?
