Key Differentiators
- Integrated current sensing with proportional output (vs MC33926)
- Wide supply voltage range of 4.5V to 38V (vs VNH7100BAS)
- AEC-Q100 qualification (vs DRV8873PWPR)
Design Notes
The DRV8873QPWPRQ1 can dissipate significant power at high currents. Ensure the PowerPAD is soldered to a large ground plane with multiple vias to minimize thermal resistance. For 10A peak currents, a copper area of at least 1 square inch is recommended to keep the junction temperature within limits.
Place a 0.1uF ceramic capacitor close to the VM pin and a 10uF bulk capacitor nearby to handle high current transients. The VCP pin requires a 0.1uF capacitor for the charge pump. Keep the sense resistor (if used) close to the IPROPI pin to minimize noise.
Do not exceed the absolute maximum supply voltage of 40V. Ensure the logic supply (VDD) is within the specified range to avoid undervoltage lockout. When using PWM control, set the frequency appropriately to avoid audible noise and excessive switching losses.
