Product details
Overview
DRV8832QDGQQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified H-bridge brushed DC motor driver IC for automotive and portable battery-powered motion control. It delivers up to 1-A DC/RMS or 1.3-A peak output current, operates from 2.75 V to 6.8 V, features integrated PWM voltage regulation with VSET input, and includes fault reporting via open-drain FAULTn pin - used in automotive seat adjusters, camera focus actuators, and low-voltage robotics.
For engineers reviewing the DRV8832QDGQQ1 datasheet, DRV8832QDGQQ1 pinout, DRV8832QDGQQ1 application, or DRV8832QDGQQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 10-pin MSOP-PowerPAD™ package, 450 mΩ total RDS(on), 300-nA sleep current, current-limiting via external ISENSE resistor, and integrated thermal/UVLO/OCP protection - all critical for space-constrained, safety-aware, battery-life-sensitive designs.
Technical Context
The DRV8832QDGQQ1 implements a voltage-controlled H-bridge using N-channel and P-channel power MOSFETs with 250–450 mΩ combined RDS(on) (25°C–125°C). Its internal PWM regulator compares a divided motor output voltage (÷4) against the externally set VSET reference to maintain constant motor speed across varying supply voltages.
Control logic uses IN1/IN2 to configure forward, reverse, brake, or sleep modes; current limiting is analog-based with 200-mV threshold and 275-ms fault latching; protection includes undervoltage lockout (2.75 V), overtemperature shutdown (150–180°C), and independent high-side/low-side OCP - all signaled via FAULTn.
Key Specifications

| ISENSE (Pin 2) | Current sense input | Monitors voltage drop across external sense resistor to enable programmable current limiting and stall detection |
| OUT1 (Pin 3) | H-bridge output 1 | Connects directly to opposite motor terminal; forms complete H-bridge path with OUT2 |
| VCC (Pin 4) | Power supply input | Supplies both logic and motor drive circuitry; requires ≥0.1-μF ceramic bypass capacitor to GND |
| GND (Pin 5) | Ground reference | Primary signal and power return; ties to PowerPAD™ for thermal conduction and low-impedance grounding |
| FAULTn (Pin 6) | Open-drain fault indicator | Drives low during UVLO, OCP, or TSD events; requires external pullup for host microcontroller interrupt signaling |
| VSET (Pin 7) | Voltage regulation setpoint | Accepts 0–1.335 V input to define regulated motor voltage (VMOTOR = 4 × VSET) |
| VREF (Pin 8) | Internal reference output | Provides stable 1.285 V ±50 mV reference for accurate VSET divider networks |
| IN1 (Pin 9) | H-bridge control input 1 | Logic-level input controlling OUT1 state; used with IN2 to select forward, reverse, brake, or sleep mode |
| IN2 (Pin 10) | H-bridge control input 2 | Logic-level input controlling OUT2 state; paired with IN1 per truth table for full bridge functionality |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| DRV8833CQDGQRQ1 | Dual H-bridge (2×1-A channels), same package, higher 2.5-A peak rating per channel, 1.8-V min VCC | Supports dual-motor control (e.g., differential drive robots); not pin-compatible due to doubled pin count and different pin mapping | Select when needing independent control of two motors or lower-voltage operation; requires PCB redesign. |
| TB9051FTG | Single-channel 3-A H-bridge, built-in current sense amplifier, SPI interface, 5.5-V max VCC, HTSSOP-28 package | Offers digital diagnostics and closed-loop current control; larger footprint and higher cost than DRV8832QDGQQ1 | Choose for applications requiring real-time current telemetry or integration with CAN/FlexRay domain controllers. |
Compared with DRV8832QDGQQ1, DRV8833CQDGQRQ1 adds channel count but increases layout complexity, while TB9051FTG trades simplicity and size for advanced monitoring - making DRV8832QDGQQ1 optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained single-motor systems where analog control suffices.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current rating for the DRV8832QDGQQ1?
The DRV8832QDGQQ1 supports up to 1-A continuous DC/RMS output current when mounted on a PCB with sufficient copper area for heatsinking. Peak current capability is 1.3 A, limited by internal overcurrent protection. Actual achievable current depends on ambient temperature, PCB thermal design, and supply voltage - for example, at 125°C ambient and 5-V VCC, derating applies per the thermal metrics (RθJA = 69.3°C/W). The DRV8832QDGQQ1 datasheet specifies these limits under Recommended Operating Conditions.
How does the DRV8832QDGQQ1 implement voltage regulation for constant motor speed?
The DRV8832QDGQQ1 uses an internal PWM regulator that compares a quarter of the averaged motor output voltage (measured across OUT1–OUT2) to the voltage applied to the VSET pin. When VSET is set to 1.2 V, the motor voltage is regulated to 4.8 V. This closed-loop method maintains consistent speed across battery discharge without external microcontroller intervention. The DRV8832QDGQQ1 achieves this with no external compensation components, relying on integrated error amplification and oscillator circuitry.
Can the DRV8832QDGQQ1 be used without the current sense resistor?
Yes - if current limiting is not required, the ISENSE pin of the DRV8832QDGQQ1 can be directly connected to GND. In this configuration, the internal current limit circuit is disabled, and the device operates as a standard voltage-mode H-bridge. However, overcurrent protection (OCP) remains active and will shut down the bridge if motor current exceeds ~1.3 A. For applications requiring stall detection or soft-start, the external sense resistor (0–1 Ω) must be installed per the DRV8832QDGQQ1 datasheet equations.
What fault conditions trigger the FAULTn pin on the DRV8832QDGQQ1?
The FAULTn pin on the DRV8832QDGQQ1 is driven low during three confirmed fault conditions: undervoltage lockout (VCC < 2.75 V), overtemperature shutdown (die temperature > 150–180°C), and overcurrent protection activation (persistent >1.3-A load exceeding deglitch time). FAULTn is open-drain and requires an external pullup resistor. Recovery is automatic for UVLO and TSD once conditions normalize; OCP requires cycling VCC to reset. These behaviors are fully documented in the DRV8832QDGQQ1 functional specifications.
Is the DRV8832QDGQQ1 pin-compatible with any other TI motor drivers?
No - the DRV8832QDGQQ1 has a unique 10-pin MSOP-PowerPAD™ pinout optimized for single-H-bridge operation and is not pin-compatible with other TI motor drivers such as the DRV8833 or DRV887x families. Pin assignments for IN1, IN2, OUT1, OUT2, ISENSE, VSET, and FAULTn are specific to the DRV8832QDGQQ1 architecture and cannot be substituted without PCB revision. Always verify pin mapping against the official DRV8832QDGQQ1 datasheet before layout reuse.
