Typical Applications
DRV8832DGQR is suitable for 6 applications: Battery-Powered Toys, Printers, Portable Electronics, Robotics, Solenoid Drivers, Stepper Motor Drives.
Battery-Powered Toys
The DRV8832DGQR is ideal for battery-powered toys due to its low supply voltage range (2.75V to 6.8V) and high efficiency (up to 97%). It can drive small DC motors used in toy cars, robots, and other motion-based toys. The integrated voltage regulation ensures consistent motor speed as the battery discharges, and the current limiting protects the motor and driver from stall conditions. Its compact HVSSOP package fits into space-constrained toy designs, and the low quiescent current extends battery life.
Recommended
Printers
In printers, the DRV8832DGQR drives paper feed motors and carriage motors. Its 1A output current is sufficient for small DC motors used in inkjet and thermal printers. The integrated voltage regulation maintains stable motor voltage, ensuring consistent paper feeding and print quality. The fault output pin allows the printer controller to detect motor stalls or overcurrent conditions, enabling error handling. The wide supply voltage range accommodates various printer power rails, and the high efficiency reduces heat generation in enclosed printer housings.
Recommended
Portable Electronics
The DRV8832DGQR is suitable for portable electronics that require small motor actuation, such as camera lens positioning, haptic feedback, and small pumps. Its low supply voltage range (2.75V to 6.8V) aligns with single-cell Li-ion battery outputs. The high efficiency (up to 97%) minimizes power loss, extending battery life. The compact HVSSOP package is ideal for space-constrained designs. The integrated voltage regulation ensures consistent motor performance as the battery voltage drops, and the current limiting protects the motor from overcurrent.
Recommended
Robotics
The DRV8832DGQR can drive small DC motors in hobby and educational robots. Its 1A output current is suitable for small gear motors. The H-bridge configuration allows bidirectional motor control, enabling forward and reverse motion. The integrated voltage regulation maintains motor speed under varying load conditions. The current limiting feature prevents motor stall damage. The fault output pin provides feedback to the robot controller for diagnostics. The wide supply voltage range allows operation from various battery configurations.
Recommended
Solenoid Drivers
The DRV8832DGQR can drive solenoids in applications like door locks, valves, and relays. The H-bridge allows bidirectional current flow, which can be used to actuate and release solenoids. The 1A output current is sufficient for many small solenoids. The integrated voltage regulation ensures consistent solenoid force. The current limiting protects the solenoid and driver from overcurrent. The fault output pin can signal a controller if the solenoid is stuck or shorted. The compact package is suitable for space-constrained applications.
Recommended
Stepper Motor Drives
The DRV8832DGQR can drive one winding of a bipolar stepper motor. For a full stepper motor, two DRV8832DGQR devices are needed, one for each phase. The H-bridge configuration allows current reversal, enabling step sequencing. The 1A output current is suitable for small stepper motors. The integrated voltage regulation helps maintain torque at higher speeds. The current limiting prevents motor overheating. The fault output pin provides diagnostic feedback. This makes it a cost-effective solution for low-voltage stepper applications.

Design Notes
The DRV8832DGQR in the HVSSOP package has an exposed thermal pad. For currents up to 1A, ensure adequate PCB copper area connected to the thermal pad to dissipate heat. A minimum of 1 square inch of copper on the top layer is recommended. At lower currents, the thermal pad may not be critical, but it is always good practice to provide a thermal relief.
Place a 0.1uF ceramic capacitor close to the VCC pin and a 10uF electrolytic capacitor near the VM pin to decouple the supply. The motor supply (VM) should have a bulk capacitor to handle current transients. Keep the motor output traces short and wide to minimize inductance and resistance.
Do not exceed the absolute maximum supply voltage of 7V on the VM pin. Ensure the logic inputs (IN1, IN2) are not left floating; use pull-up or pull-down resistors as needed. The FAULT pin is active low and requires a pull-up resistor to VCC. When driving inductive loads like motors, place flyback diodes across the motor terminals to protect the driver from voltage spikes.
Compliance Information
