DRV8846/DRV8848 Dual H-Bridge Motor Driver

Texas Instruments' DRV8846 provides a highly-integrated stepper motor driver for cameras, printers, projectors, and other automated equipment applications. The device has two H-bridges and a microstepping indexer and is intended to drive a bipolar stepper motor. The output block of each H-bridge driver consists of N- and P-channel power MOSFETs configured as full H-bridges to drive the motor windings. The DRV8846 is capable of driving up to 1 A full scale output current (with proper heatsinking and TA = 25°C).

The DRV8848 provides a dual H-bridge motor driver for home appliances and other mechatronic applications. The device can be used to drive one or two DC motors, a bipolar stepper motor, or other loads. A simple PWM interface allows easy interfacing to controller circuits. The output block of each H-bridge driver consists of N- and P-channel power MOSFETs configured as full H-bridges to drive the motor windings. Each H-bridge includes circuitry to regulate the winding current using a fixed off-time chopping scheme. The DRV8848 is capable of driving up to 2 A of current from each output or 4 A of current in parallel mode (with proper heat sinking, at 12 V and TA = 25°C).
