Product details
Overview
DA7281-00FVC from Renesas Electronics is a programmable haptic driver IC supporting both linear resonant actuators (LRA) and eccentric rotating mass (ERM) motors, featuring automatic closed-loop LRA resonant frequency tracking, integrated waveform memory, wideband drive capability up to 300 Hz, differential PWM output, and ultra-low quiescent current of 0.36 µA in IDLE state. It enables high-fidelity tactile feedback in space-constrained mobile interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the DA7281-00FVC datasheet, DA7281-00FVC pinout, DA7281-00FVC application, or DA7281-00FVC equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-mode actuator support, 0.75 ms GPI-triggered wake-up latency, on-chip waveform memory with amplitude/time/frequency control, Active Acceleration and Rapid Stop technology for sharper click response, and four configurable I²C addresses via ADDR_0/ADDR_1 pins.
Technical Context
The DA7281-00FVC implements real-time BEMF sensing during continuous drive to enable closed-loop resonant frequency tracking and Active Acceleration/Rapid Stop-eliminating high-impedance measurement gaps found in open-loop competitors. Its differential output architecture delivers constant current drive independent of supply variation, ensuring consistent actuator power across VDD = 2.0–5.5 V.
It supports three operational modes: Direct Register Override (DRO), Register-Triggered Waveform Memory (RTWM), and Edge-Triggered Waveform Memory (ETWM), with configurable EMI suppression and automatic short-circuit protection. The device retains state in IDLE mode and offers two low-power states: IDLE (IQ = 0.36 µA) and STANDBY (IQ = 0.8 mA).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar haptic driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DA7282 | Includes EN pin for true OFF state (5 nA), higher IDLE current (680 nA), no multiple I²C addressing | Better suited for systems requiring complete power gating; lacks hardware address flexibility for multi-IC designs | Select DA7282 only if system-level power sequencing mandates sub-10 nA shutdown current and I²C bus sharing is not required |
| TI DRV2624 | Supports LRA/ERM but uses open-loop frequency estimation; no integrated waveform memory; higher IQ (2.5 µA) | Requires host-based waveform streaming and periodic recalibration; less suitable for ultra-low-power always-on use cases | Choose DRV2624 when cost sensitivity outweighs power/performance requirements and host resources are available for real-time control |
Compared with DA7282 and DRV2624, DA7281-00FVC uniquely combines ultra-low IDLE current (0.36 µA), hardware-configurable I²C addressing, and closed-loop resonant tracking-making it optimal for battery-powered multi-actuator systems demanding consistent, maintenance-free haptics.

FAQ
What is the function of the ADDR_0 and ADDR_1 pins on the DA7281-00FVC?
The ADDR_0 and ADDR_1 pins on the DA7281-00FVC are hardware-configurable I²C address select inputs that set one of four base I²C addresses (0x48, 0x49, 0x4A, or 0x4B). This allows up to four DA7281-00FVC devices to share the same I²C bus without address conflict-essential for multi-actuator systems like dual-haptic smartphones or VR controllers. Each combination corresponds to a unique effective address per Table 19 in the datasheet.
Does the DA7281-00FVC support both LRA and ERM actuators simultaneously?
No-the DA7281-00FVC supports either LRA or ERM operation per configuration, not simultaneous dual-actuator drive. Its ACTUATOR1 register (0x000C) must be programmed to select LRA mode (bit[1:0] = 0b01) or ERM mode (0b10) before initialization. Automatic mode detection is not supported; correct actuator type selection is required to enable appropriate drive profiles, BEMF sensing, and resonant tracking algorithms.
How does the DA7281-00FVC achieve 0.36 µA quiescent current in IDLE state?
The DA7281-00FVC achieves 0.36 µA quiescent current in IDLE state by powering down all analog blocks except essential bias circuitry and retaining full register state in SRAM. The internal oscillator and BEMF sensing are disabled, and the output drivers enter high-impedance mode while maintaining GPI and I²C wake-up capability. This ultra-low IQ is measured at VDD = 3.6 V and TA = 25°C per Table 6 in the datasheet-and is 20% of the nearest competitive solution's idle current.
Can the DA7281-00FVC operate without an external host processor?
No-the DA7281-00FVC requires initial configuration via I²C and does not support autonomous operation like the DA7283. It lacks built-in boot ROM or OTP execution capability. All waveform memory loading, mode selection, and parameter tuning must be performed by a host MCU or application processor. However, once configured, it can execute preloaded sequences autonomously upon GPI trigger with no further host involvement.
What is the maximum LRA frequency range supported by the DA7281-00FVC?
The DA7281-00FVC supports LRA operation from 50 Hz to 300 Hz, as confirmed in Section 5.5 "Wideband Frequency Control" and Figure 6 of the datasheet. Its closed-loop resonant tracking algorithm dynamically adapts to the actuator's mechanical resonance within this band, and the wideband drive architecture ensures full utilization of modern multi-directional LRAs-unlike narrowband drivers limited to ±10 Hz around nominal frequency.
