Product details
Overview
DRV8340SPHPRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive three-phase smart gate driver IC for driving high-side and low-side N-channel MOSFETs in BLDC and BDC motor modules. It operates from 5.5 V to 60 V, delivers up to 1-A peak source / 2-A peak sink gate drive current per channel, integrates a 3.3-V/30-mA LDO, and supports independent half-bridge control with dedicated SHx/DLx pins - enabling precise solenoid and pump actuation in 12-V/24-V vehicle systems.
For engineers reviewing the DRV8340SPHPRQ1 datasheet, DRV8340SPHPRQ1 pinout, DRV8340SPHPRQ1 application, or DRV8340SPHPRQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context on its SPI interface variant, HTQFP-48 package with exposed thermal pad, six integrated protection mechanisms (UVLO, OCP, SHT_BAT, SHT_GND, OTW/OTSD, GDF), and configurable slew rate and dead time for automotive-grade motor control design.
Technical Context
The DRV8340SPHPRQ1 implements a smart gate drive architecture with independently configurable high-side and low-side drivers per phase, using an internal charge pump to sustain 100% duty-cycle operation and a linear regulator to supply 3.3 V at up to 30 mA. Its SPI interface enables full register-level access to fault diagnostics, dead-time (500–4000 ns), peak drive current (1.5 mA–1 A source / 3 mA–2 A sink), and VDS overcurrent threshold settings.
It features dedicated source (SHx) and drain (DLx) sense inputs per half-bridge, enabling accurate high-side current sensing and reverse-supply MOSFET control. The device supports 6x, 3x, 1x, and independent PWM modes, accepts 3.3-V/5-V logic inputs, and provides nFAULT open-drain fault signaling with register-accessible fault detail for system-level diagnostics.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar three-phase gate driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DRV8343SPHPRQ1 | SPI-only variant with identical pinout, same 1-A/2-A drive capability, but adds enhanced diagnostics including VDS-based phase current estimation and improved thermal reporting. | Better suited for ASIL-B systems requiring higher diagnostic coverage; lacks hardware interface fallback mode. | Select when SPI-based configurability and advanced diagnostics outweigh need for H/W pin fallback. |
| DRV8353RSRTVRQ1 | HTSSOP-48 package (6.1 mm × 6.1 mm), lower RθJA (32.5°C/W), same SPI interface and drive specs, but no VDS monitor pin or nDIAG control. | Preferred for space-constrained modules where thermal pad area is limited; reduced diagnostic flexibility for cost-sensitive designs. | Choose for compact layouts where 7×7 mm HTQFP footprint is prohibitive and full VDS diagnostic capability is not required. |
Compared with DRV8340SPHPRQ1, DRV8343SPHPRQ1 offers deeper diagnostic visibility for functional safety compliance, while DRV8353RSRTVRQ1 trades package size and thermal performance for smaller footprint - both require layout review due to non-pin-compatible packaging and differing pin functions (e.g., missing nDIAG, VDS).

FAQ
What is the function of the nDIAG pin on the DRV8340SPHPRQ1?
The nDIAG pin on the DRV8340SPHPRQ1 controls open-load, short-to-battery, and short-to-ground diagnostics at power-up. Leaving it unconnected or tied to AGND enables diagnostics; connecting it to DVDD disables them. This pin allows system designers to selectively activate or suppress diagnostics based on application safety requirements without firmware changes - a key feature for modular motor control designs using the DRV8340SPHPRQ1.
Does the DRV8340SPHPRQ1 support 100% duty cycle operation for high-side MOSFETs?
Yes, the DRV8340SPHPRQ1 supports 100% high-side duty cycle using its integrated charge-pump architecture, which generates a boosted gate drive voltage (VCP) independent of the phase-node voltage. This eliminates reliance on bootstrap capacitors and enables continuous conduction mode in regenerative braking and bidirectional motor control - a core capability confirmed in the DRV8340SPHPRQ1 datasheet Section 3 and electrical characteristics table.
How is dead time configured on the DRV8340SPHPRQ1?
Dead time on the DRV8340SPHPRQ1 is configured exclusively via SPI register writes (DEAD_TIME bits) and offers four fixed values: 500 ns, 1000 ns, 2000 ns, or 4000 ns. Unlike hardware-interface variants, the DRV8340SPHPRQ1 does not support MODE pin strapping for dead time selection - all timing parameters must be set through the SPI interface during initialization or runtime reconfiguration.
What is the maximum ambient temperature rating for continuous operation of the DRV8340SPHPRQ1?
The DRV8340SPHPRQ1 is rated for continuous operation at ambient temperatures from –40°C to +125°C (AEC-Q100 Grade 1). This specification is validated under recommended operating conditions with proper PCB thermal design - including full soldering of the exposed thermal pad to PGND and adequate copper pour - ensuring reliable performance in under-hood automotive environments where the DRV8340SPHPRQ1 is commonly deployed.
Can the DRV8340SPHPRQ1 drive both high-side and low-side N-channel MOSFETs simultaneously in a three-phase inverter?
Yes, the DRV8340SPHPRQ1 integrates three independent half-bridge drivers, each capable of driving one high-side and one low-side N-channel MOSFET. Its dedicated SHx and DLx sense pins, combined with charge-pump-based high-side drive and PGND-referenced low-side drive, enable full synchronous rectification and precise phase control - a fundamental capability confirmed across the DRV8340SPHPRQ1 functional description, pinout, and application schematics.
