Product Overview
The DRV8880 is a Texas Instruments Power_Management Power_IC for stepper motor drive functions. Its recommended motor supply range is 6.5 to 45 V, with an absolute maximum VM range of -0.3 to 50 V and a VM ramp-rate limit of 0 to 2 V/us. Recommended motor current limits are 0 to 2.0 A full-scale and 0 to 1.4 A RMS.
Control is provided through STEP, DIR, ENABLE, nSLEEP, torque, decay, and microstepping pins. The STEP input is specified for 0 to 100 kHz in recommended operating conditions, while the datasheet notes the STEP input can operate up to 1 MHz with system bandwidth limited by the motor and load. Microstepping spans full-step to 1/16-step using M0 and M1.
The device is offered in 28-pin HTSSOP PowerPAD and 28-pin WQFN exposed-thermal-pad packages. Thermal data includes 33.1 °C/W junction-to-ambient for PWP HTSSOP and 37.5 °C/W for RHR WQFN, supporting package-aware board and assembly planning for stepper motor applications.
