Product details
Overview
DRV8410RTER from Texas Instruments is a dual H-bridge motor driver IC designed for precise current-regulated control of brushed DC or bipolar stepper motors in space-constrained, battery-powered systems. It delivers 2.5A peak output current per bridge, features 800mΩ typical total RDS(on) (HS + LS), operates from 1.65V to 11V, and integrates current regulation via external sense resistors - enabling robust stall/startup current limiting in POS printers and robotics actuators.
For engineers reviewing the DRV8410RTER datasheet, DRV8410RTER pinout, DRV8410RTER application, or DRV8410RTER equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-bridge PWM interface, ultra-low 30nA sleep current, 16-pin WQFN (3.0×3.0mm) package with PowerPAD™, integrated OCP/UVLO/TSD protection, and compatibility with 1.8V/3.3V/5V logic levels.
Technical Context
The DRV8410RTER implements two independent N-channel H-bridges with integrated charge pump for full high-side FET enhancement down to 1.65V supply, enabling operation across single-cell Li-ion to 3S battery rails. Its current regulation uses a 200mV internal reference compared against voltage across external AISEN/BISEN shunt resistors, triggering automatic low-side slow-decay braking when ITRIP is exceeded.
Protection is implemented per-bridge: auto-retry overcurrent detection (2.5A trip, 4.2µs deglitch, 1.6ms retry), thermal shutdown at 153–193°C with 18°C hysteresis, and VM undervoltage lockout with 100mV hysteresis. The nFAULT open-drain pin signals faults independently per bridge, while nSLEEP enables <30nA quiescent current in sleep mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.65 V to 11 V - supports single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V), alkaline (1.65–9V), and 3S LiPo (9–12.6V) with UVLO at 1.6V rising threshold. |
| Peak Output Current | 2.5 A per bridge - enables driving 2.5A-rated DC motors or 1.8A-phase stepper motors with margin for transient loads. |
| Total RDS(on) | 800 mΩ (HS + LS, typical @ 25°C) - reduces conduction loss and thermal rise; HS and LS each contribute ~400 mΩ. |
| Sleep Current | ≤30 nA @ VVM = 5 V, TJ = 25°C - extends battery life in always-on smart locks and IoT endpoints. |
| Current Sense Threshold | 200 mV (typical) - sets motor current limit via RSENSE = 0.2 V / ITRIP; e.g., 0.1Ω yields 2A regulation. |
| PWM Frequency Support | 0–100 kHz - accommodates standard motor control frequencies without aliasing or audible noise. |
| Logic Input Compatibility | 1.8 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V - interfaces directly with microcontrollers and FPGAs without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
DRV8410RTER is housed in a 16-pin WQFN package (RTE variant) measuring 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm with exposed thermal pad (PowerPAD™) for enhanced heat dissipation. Pin assignment follows TI's standardized layout for pin-to-pin compatibility within the DRV841x family.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AIN1, AIN2, BIN1, BIN2 | H-bridge control inputs | CMOS-compatible logic inputs with internal pulldown; define forward/reverse/brake/coast states per bridge. |
| AOUT1, AOUT2, BOUT1, BOUT2 | Bridge output terminals | N-channel H-bridge outputs; support parallel connection for higher-current DC motor drive (halving effective RDS(on)). |
| AISEN, BISEN | Current sense feedback | Analog inputs referenced to GND; connect to shunt resistor to enable per-bridge current regulation or tie to GND to disable. |
| nSLEEP | Enable/sleep control | Active-high input with 500 kΩ internal pulldown; drives device into ≤30nA sleep state when low. |
| nFAULT | Fault indicator | Open-drain output pulled low during UVLO/OCP/TSD fault; requires external pullup for system-level fault monitoring. |
| VM | Main power input | 1.65–11V motor and IC supply; requires 0.1 µF ceramic + ≥10 µF bulk capacitance for stability. |
| GND | Power ground | System ground reference; must be connected to thermal pad for optimal thermal performance. |
| NC (Pins 9, 12) | No-connect | Unbonded pins; must remain unconnected per datasheet to avoid parasitic coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent H-bridges | Enables simultaneous control of two DC motors or one bipolar stepper motor with full 4-quadrant operation (forward, reverse, brake, coast). |
| Integrated current regulation | Per-bridge chopping control using external shunt resistors and 200mV reference - eliminates need for external current-sense amplifiers and reduces BOM count. |
| Ultra-low sleep current | ≤30 nA quiescent draw allows multi-year battery life in always-on applications like electronic smart locks and portable medical devices. |
| Auto-retry overcurrent protection | Independent per-bridge OCP with 4.2 µs deglitch and 1.6 ms retry cycle - recovers automatically from transient shorts without MCU intervention. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual H-bridge motor driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DRV8411RTER | Lower 400mΩ total RDS(on), same 2.5A peak rating, identical pinout and package - optimized for higher efficiency in thermally constrained designs. | Better suited for continuous 2A DC motor loads where thermal margin is critical; shares same PCB footprint and control interface. | Select DRV8411RTER when lower conduction loss and reduced junction temperature are required without layout changes. |
| DRV8833CRTER | Higher 1735mΩ total RDS(on), 1.5A peak current, same 16-pin WQFN package - cost-optimized variant with relaxed thermal performance. | Targeted at low-power toys and simple actuators where peak current rarely exceeds 1A and efficiency is secondary to BOM cost. | Choose DRV8833CRTER only for low-duty-cycle, low-current applications where DRV8410RTER's 2.5A capability is unnecessary. |
Compared with DRV8411RTER, the DRV8410RTER trades 400mΩ lower RDS(on) for broader design flexibility in mid-power applications; versus DRV8833CRTER, it provides 67% higher peak current and 54% lower conduction loss - making it the preferred choice for robotics, POS, and security camera motion systems requiring reliability and thermal headroom.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current supported by the DRV8410RTER?
The DRV8410RTER is rated for 2.5A peak output current per H-bridge. Continuous current depends on thermal conditions: with proper PCB copper area (≥250mm² per side under thermal pad) and ambient ≤60°C, it supports ~1.5A continuous per bridge. Derating is required above 60°C ambient or with reduced copper area. The DRV8410RTER datasheet specifies absolute maximum ratings but emphasizes that actual continuous current must be validated using thermal metrics like RθJA = 55°C/W (WQFN).
Does the DRV8410RTER support parallel bridge operation for higher current drive?
Yes, the DRV8410RTER supports parallel bridge operation: AIN1/BIN1 and AIN2/BIN2 can be tied together, and AOUT1/BOUT1 and AOUT2/BOUT2 connected to common nodes to halve effective RDS(on) to ~400mΩ. However, current regulation must be disabled - AISEN and BISEN must be connected directly to GND. This mode retains all four control states (forward, reverse, brake, coast) and is confirmed in Section 8.4.1.1 of the DRV8410RTER datasheet.
How does current regulation work on the DRV8410RTER, and what external components are needed?
The DRV8410RTER implements current regulation by comparing voltage across an external shunt resistor (connected to AISEN or BISEN) to a 200mV internal reference. When the sensed voltage reaches 200mV, the device enters low-side slow-decay braking for tOFF = 20µs. A single 0.1Ω resistor yields 2A regulation. No external amplifier is needed - the DRV8410RTER integrates the comparator and timing circuitry. The regulation is per-bridge and fully configurable via resistor selection.
What protection features are integrated into the DRV8410RTER?
The DRV8410RTER integrates three core protections: VM undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with 1.6V rising threshold and 100mV hysteresis; auto-retry overcurrent protection (OCP) per bridge with 2.5A trip point and 1.6ms retry interval; and thermal shutdown (TSD) activating at 153–193°C with 18°C hysteresis. All faults assert the open-drain nFAULT pin low, and OCP/TSD faults are bridge-independent - one bridge can fault while the other remains operational.
Is the DRV8410RTER pin-compatible with other devices in the DRV841x family?
Yes, the DRV8410RTER is pin-to-pin compatible with DRV8411RTER, DRV8411ARTER, DRV8833RTER, DRV8833CRTER, and DRV8847RTER in the same 16-pin WQFN (RTE) package. This allows direct substitution for different RDS(on) and current regulation architectures - e.g., DRV8411RTER offers 400mΩ RDS(on) with identical pinout, while DRV8833CRTER provides 1735mΩ at lower cost. No PCB redesign is required for these replacements.
