Product details
Overview
DRV8705HQRHBRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive H-bridge smart gate driver for N-channel MOSFETs, featuring integrated low-side current sense amplification, 4.9V–37V operation, adjustable 0.5–62mA peak gate drive current, and hardware (H/W) interface control mode. It enables robust brushed DC motor control in power window, sunroof, and seat modules.
For engineers reviewing the DRV8705HQRHBRQ1 datasheet, DRV8705HQRHBRQ1 pinout, DRV8705HQRHBRQ1 application, or DRV8705HQRHBRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its H/W-only interface configuration, fixed 4µs VDS/VGS blanking, cycle-by-cycle fault response, and absence of SPI register access-distinguishing it from the SPI variant DRV8705S-Q1.
Technical Context
The DRV8705HQRHBRQ1 implements a hardware-controlled H-bridge gate driver with integrated doubler charge pump for high-side gate bias and linear regulator for low-side drive. Its smart architecture enforces handshake-based dead time to prevent shoot-through and supports four PWM input modes via external resistor programming on the MODE pin.
It integrates a low-side shunt amplifier with four selectable gains (10/20/40/80 V/V), fixed 4 µs blanking, and VAREF/2 output bias. Protection includes PVDD undervoltage lockout (4.625 V threshold), VCP undervoltage detection (2.5 V), VDS overcurrent monitoring with fixed deglitch (4 µs), and thermal warning/shutdown at TJ ≥ 150°C.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
VQFN-32 package (RHB), 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm, with exposed thermal pad. Wettable flanks support IPC-A-610 Class 3 solder joint inspection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND, AGND | Ground reference | Separate analog/digital ground pins require low-impedance star connection to minimize noise coupling into current sense path. |
| PVDD | Main driver supply | Connects directly to bridge bus voltage (e.g., 12 V or 24 V battery); requires ≥10 µF bulk + 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling. |
| DVDD | Digital logic supply | 3.0–5.5 V supply for internal logic and SDO output; bypass with 1.0 µF ceramic capacitor to GND. |
| GH1, GH2 | High-side gate outputs | Drive gates of two external high-side N-MOSFETs; each referenced to SH1/SH2 for accurate VGS control. |
| GL1, GL2 | Low-side gate outputs | Drive gates of two external low-side N-MOSFETs; each referenced to SL1/SL2 for accurate VGS control. |
| SH1, SH2, SL1, SL2 | Source sense inputs | Provide Kelvin connections to MOSFET sources for accurate VGS monitoring and VDS sensing during conduction. |
| SP, SN | Shunt amplifier inputs | Differential inputs for low-side current shunt resistor; common-mode range –2 V to +2 V supports bidirectional current sensing. |
| SO | Amplifier output | Analog output scaled by selected gain (10–80 V/V); connects directly to MCU ADC with 0.25–(VAREF–0.25) V linear range. |
| DRVOFF | Driver disable | Active-high pin that forces all gate drivers low regardless of PWM inputs-used for emergency shutdown or fail-safe braking. |
| nFAULT | Fault indicator | Open-drain output pulled low on any fault (overvoltage, overtemperature, VDS/VGS fault); requires external pullup to DVDD or VAREF. |
| IN1/EN, IN2/PH, nHIZ1, nHIZ2, nSLEEP | Digital control inputs | Hardware-configured logic-level inputs define PWM mode, half/full-bridge operation, and sleep entry; internal pulldowns ensure safe default state. |
| GAIN, IDRIVE, MODE | Multi-level analog config | Resistor-programmed pins set amplifier gain, gate current level, and PWM input mode-eliminates need for MCU firmware configuration. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| H/W-only interface | Eliminates SPI bus overhead and MCU firmware dependency-ideal for cost-sensitive, safety-critical automotive modules with minimal microcontroller resources. |
| Integrated doubler charge pump | Generates stable high-side gate voltage up to 10.5 V above PVDD, enabling 100% duty-cycle operation without external bootstrap components. |
| Handshake dead-time control | Hardware-enforced minimum dead time prevents shoot-through without requiring precise timing calibration in MCU firmware. |
| Cycle-by-cycle VDS fault response | Immediate gate shutdown on detected drain-source overcurrent-prevents MOSFET destruction during short-circuit events in motor windings or wiring. |
| Offline open-load diagnostics | Detects disconnected motor leads during startup or standby using internal test currents-enables early failure reporting before actuation. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar H-bridge gate driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DRV8705S-Q1 | SPI interface with programmable registers, adjustable VDS blanking (8 settings), and configurable fault responses (4 modes). | Required when dynamic reconfiguration (e.g., gain change mid-operation) or detailed diagnostics logging are needed. | Select DRV8705S-Q1 only if SPI communication and flexible fault management are required; DRV8705HQRHBRQ1 offers lower system complexity and faster time-to-market for fixed-function designs. |
| DRV8706-Q1 | H-bridge variant with inline current sense amplifier (single-ended output), no DRAIN pin, and identical H/W interface. | Used where space-constrained layouts prohibit dual-shunt placement and unidirectional current sensing suffices. | Choose DRV8706-Q1 for compact single-shunt implementations; DRV8705HQRHBRQ1 supports differential shunt sensing for higher accuracy and noise immunity in noisy automotive environments. |
Compared with DRV8705S-Q1 and DRV8706-Q1, the DRV8705HQRHBRQ1 delivers deterministic hardware control, fixed diagnostic timing, and differential current sensing-making it optimal for ASIL-B motor control modules where firmware simplicity and EMI resilience are prioritized over configurability.

FAQ
What interface options does the DRV8705HQRHBRQ1 support?
The DRV8705HQRHBRQ1 supports hardware (H/W) interface only-no SPI capability. Control is implemented via logic-level digital inputs (IN1/EN, IN2/PH, nHIZ1, nHIZ2, nSLEEP) and resistor-programmed analog pins (GAIN, IDRIVE, MODE). This eliminates MCU firmware dependencies and reduces system-level timing complexity compared to SPI variants like DRV8705S-Q1.
Does the DRV8705HQRHBRQ1 include integrated protection features?
Yes, the DRV8705HQRHBRQ1 includes comprehensive protection: PVDD undervoltage lockout (4.625 V), VCP undervoltage detection (2.5 V), VDS overcurrent monitoring with 4 µs deglitch, VGS gate fault detection, thermal warning (TJ ≥ 135°C) and shutdown (TJ ≥ 150°C), offline open-load and short-circuit diagnostics, and dedicated DRVOFF emergency shutdown pin.
How is current sensing implemented in the DRV8705HQRHBRQ1?
The DRV8705HQRHBRQ1 integrates a low-side differential current shunt amplifier with four selectable gains (10/20/40/80 V/V) set by the GAIN pin. Inputs SP/SN accept ±2 V common-mode voltage; output SO provides rail-to-rail analog signal referenced to VAREF/2, supporting direct connection to MCU ADCs with 0.25–(VAREF–0.25) V linear range.
What is the purpose of the DRAIN pin on the DRV8705HQRHBRQ1?
The DRAIN pin on the DRV8705HQRHBRQ1 senses the common drain node of the external H-bridge MOSFETs. It enables VDS overcurrent monitoring for both high-side and low-side FETs, supports offline open-load diagnostics, and contributes to accurate VGS measurement by providing a stable reference for SH1/SH2 sense inputs.
Can the DRV8705HQRHBRQ1 drive both high-side and low-side N-channel MOSFETs?
Yes, the DRV8705HQRHBRQ1 is designed to drive two high-side and two low-side N-channel MOSFETs in an H-bridge configuration. It uses an integrated doubler charge pump to generate sufficient gate voltage for high-side FETs and a linear regulator for low-side drive-enabling full 100% duty-cycle operation without external bootstrap circuitry.
