Product Overview

The DRV8833 is a Texas Instruments dual H-bridge motor driver in the Power_Management category. It operates from a recommended 2.7-10.8 V motor supply and integrates high-side and low-side MOSFET output stages with 360 mΩ combined H-bridge on-resistance. The driver supports logic-level inputs, nSLEEP control, an open-drain nFAULT output, and internal timing such as 450 ns input deglitching and 450 ns dead time.

Output current capability is package dependent. PWP and RTY package options support 1.5 A RMS and 2 A peak per H-bridge at VM=5 V and 25°C, while the PW package option supports 500 mA RMS and 2 A peak. When outputs are paralleled, PWP and RTY options support 3 A RMS and 4 A peak, and the PW option supports 1 A RMS and 4 A peak.

Assembly options include TSSOP-16 5.00 mm x 4.40 mm, HTSSOP-16 5.00 mm x 4.40 mm, and WQFN-16 4.00 mm x 4.00 mm packages. The datasheet recommends a minimum 10 µF ceramic VM bypass capacitor, a 2.2 µF 6.3 V VINT bypass capacitor, and a 0.01 µF X7R ceramic VCP capacitor rated at 16 V minimum.
