Product details
Overview
DRV8800PWP from Texas Instruments is a DMOS full-bridge motor driver IC for brushed DC motors, featuring 0.48 Ω typical RDS(on) (source), ±2.8 A peak output current, 8–36 V operating supply range, and integrated charge pump for high-side gate drive. It delivers bidirectional control in printers, industrial automation, and robotics via PHASE/ENABLE logic interface.
For engineers reviewing the DRV8800PWP datasheet, DRV8800PWP pinout, DRV8800PWP application, or DRV8800PWP equivalent, key selection considerations include thermal performance in HTSSOP package (RθJA = 43.9 °C/W), sleep-mode quiescent current (10 μA), overcurrent trip threshold (3 A), and fault reporting via open-drain nFAULT.
Technical Context
The DRV8800PWP integrates an N-channel H-bridge with internal charge pump generating gate drive voltage above VBB, enabling full 100% PWM duty cycle operation. Its control logic supports forward/reverse drive, brake (slow decay), and fast-decay synchronous rectification using PHASE, ENABLE, and MODE inputs.
Protection architecture includes VBB undervoltage lockout (6.5–7.5 V), charge pump undervoltage detection, overtemperature warning (160 °C) and shutdown (175 °C), short-to-supply/ground detection, and overcurrent protection with 3 μs deglitch and 1.2 ms retry timing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | ±2.8 A peak - supports medium-power brushed DC motors up to ~50 W at 24 V. |
| RDS(on) (Source) | 0.48 Ω typ @ 25°C - limits conduction loss to <1.5 W per side at 2.8 A. |
| VBB Range | 8–36 V - compatible with 12 V and 24 V industrial power rails. |
| Sleep Current | 10 μA - enables battery-powered or low-power standby modes without external power gating. |
| UVLO Threshold | 6.5–7.5 V - prevents erratic operation during brown-out; releases nFAULT at 12–13.8 V. |
| Overcurrent Trip | 3 A - configurable down to lower thresholds via external SENSE resistor (500 mV trip). |
| Thermal Warning | 160 °C - alerts system before shutdown; hysteresis ensures stable recovery at 145 °C. |
Pinout & Package
DRV8800PWP uses a 16-pin HTSSOP (PWP) package with exposed PowerPAD™ for thermal dissipation. Package dimensions are 5.00 mm × 4.40 mm, RoHS-compliant, and lead-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PHASE | Logic input | Controls motor direction: HIGH = forward, LOW = reverse (with ENABLE high). |
| ENABLE | Logic input | Enables/disables H-bridge outputs; LOW places outputs in high-impedance state. |
| nSLEEP | Logic input | Active-high enable for low-power mode; internal pulldown, requires ≥2.7 V to wake. |
| MODE | Logic input | Selects decay mode: HIGH = slow decay (brake), LOW = fast decay (synchronous rectification). |
| nFAULT | Open-drain output | Asserts LOW on UVLO, OCP, OTW, or OTS; requires external pullup for system-level fault monitoring. |
| OUT+ / OUT− | Power outputs | Connect directly to motor terminals; support bidirectional current flow up to ±2.8 A. |
| SENSE | Analog output | Current-sense return node; connects to ground via external resistor to set OCP threshold. |
| VBB | Power input | Main motor supply input (8–36 V); requires local 0.1 µF + bulk capacitance. |
| VCP / CP1 / CP2 | Charge pump nodes | VCP is reservoir cap node; CP1/CP2 form flying capacitor pair for high-side gate drive generation. |
| VREG | Internal regulator output | ~7.5 V regulated output; must be left unconnected per datasheet (DRV8800-specific). |
| GND / PowerPAD | Ground reference | Multiple GND pins and exposed thermal pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and EMI integrity. |
| NC | No-connect | Pin 5 in HTSSOP package - electrically isolated; no routing or connection required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| H-Bridge Output Stage | N-channel DMOS topology with 0.48 Ω source RDS(on) enables efficient bidirectional motor control without external bootstrap circuitry. |
| Integrated Charge Pump | Self-contained gate-drive pump eliminates need for external high-voltage supply; supports 100% PWM duty cycle and robust high-side switching. |
| Comprehensive Protection | Seven-layer fault coverage (UVLO, CPUV, OCP, short-to-VBB/GND, OTW, OTS, nFAULT reporting) reduces system-level safety design burden. |
| Configurable Decay Modes | MODE pin selects between slow-decay (braking) and fast-decay (synchronous rectification), optimizing torque response and power dissipation per load profile. |
| Low-Power Sleep Mode | 10 μA quiescent current with full functional recovery in <1 ms after nSLEEP assertion - ideal for intermittent-motion applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar brushed DC motor driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DRV8801PWP | Includes VPROPI analog current-sense output; identical pinout and electrical specs except SENSE pin is IO (not O) and VREG replaced by VPROPI. | Required when motor winding current feedback to ADC is needed; not drop-in for DRV8800PWP due to functional pin difference on SENSE/VREG. | Select DRV8801PWP only if analog current monitoring is essential; otherwise DRV8800PWP offers simpler interface and lower BOM cost. |
| TB6612FNG | Lower voltage (4.5–13.5 V), lower current (1.2 A), no charge pump; uses dual H-bridge with independent PWM inputs instead of PHASE/ENABLE. | Suitable for low-voltage consumer robotics but cannot replace DRV8800PWP in 24 V industrial applications or where >2 A peak is required. | Use TB6612FNG only in space-constrained, low-power designs; DRV8800PWP remains necessary for 24 V/2.8 A requirements with integrated protection. |
Compared with DRV8801PWP, DRV8800PWP omits analog current sensing but retains identical motor drive capability and protection; compared with TB6612FNG, it supports higher voltage, higher current, and integrated charge pump-making it suitable for demanding industrial motion control where robustness and voltage headroom are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous motor supply voltage for DRV8800PWP?
The DRV8800PWP supports a recommended operating VBB range of 8 V to 36 V, with absolute maximum rating of 40 V. Operation above 36 V risks exceeding thermal limits and violating recommended conditions; sustained use at 38 V is permitted only per Section 6.3 but not advised for long-term reliability. The DRV8800PWP's internal UVLO releases at 12–13.8 V, ensuring stable startup across this range.
Does DRV8800PWP require external capacitors for the charge pump?
Yes, DRV8800PWP requires two external ceramic capacitors: a 0.1-μF X7R capacitor between CP1 and CP2 (flying capacitor), and a 0.1-μF X7R, 16-V capacitor from VCP to VBB (reservoir capacitor). These are mandatory for proper high-side gate drive; omitting them causes failure to enable the source-side MOSFETs and results in asymmetric output behavior or no output.
How does the nFAULT pin behave during sleep mode?
When nSLEEP is driven LOW, the DRV8800PWP enters sleep mode and disables internal circuitry including the charge pump and protection comparators; consequently, nFAULT becomes invalid and floats (open-drain inactive). The DRV8800PWP nFAULT only reports faults-UVLO, OCP, OTW, OTS-during active operation (nSLEEP = HIGH). System-level fault monitoring must be disabled or ignored during sleep.
Can DRV8800PWP drive a stepper motor?
The DRV8800PWP can drive one winding of a bipolar stepper motor as a single full-bridge channel, but it is not a dedicated stepper driver. It lacks microstepping, coil current regulation, or phase sequencing logic. For unipolar steppers, it can drive one phase; for bipolar, it provides half-step or full-step excitation only when paired with external logic or MCU sequencing. The DRV8800PWP datasheet explicitly states suitability for "one winding of a stepper motor" - confirming limited, non-optimized use.
What is the purpose of the VREG pin on DRV8800PWP?
The VREG pin on DRV8800PWP outputs approximately 7.5 V and reflects the internal regulator voltage used for logic and gate-drive circuitry. Per the datasheet, this pin must be left disconnected (no load, no capacitor) - connecting any load or capacitance risks instability or damage. It serves only as a diagnostic probe point; DRV8800PWP functionality does not depend on external use of VREG, and the pin has no counterpart in DRV8801PWP.
