Product Overview

The DRV8885 is a Texas Instruments stepper motor driver in the Power_Management category. Its motor-drive stage uses two integrated N-channel power MOSFET H-bridge drivers, with a STEP/DIR control interface that supports up to 1/16 microstepping. The output MOSFET on-resistance is specified as 0.86 ohm for high-side plus low-side at VM = 24 V and TA = 25°C.

Recommended operating conditions include an 8.0 to 37 V motor supply, 0 to 1.5 A full-scale motor current, 0 to 1.0 A RMS motor current, and -40 to 125°C ambient operation. Logic inputs support a 0 to 5.3 V range, with defined low and high thresholds for STEP, DIR, ENABLE, nSLEEP, and M1.

Package options are a 24-pin HTSSOP PowerPAD measuring 7.80 mm x 4.40 mm and a 28-pin WQFN measuring 5.50 mm x 3.50 mm. Internal protection functions include VM UVLO, charge pump undervoltage, overcurrent protection, thermal shutdown, and nFAULT indication for system fault reporting.
