Principaux différenciateurs
- AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive use (vs DRV8801)
- Wide supply voltage range of 5.5 V to 36 V (vs DRV8801)
- Lower on-resistance of 0.5 ohm (vs A4950)
Notes de conception
The PowerSO-20 package has a thermal resistance of 35 °C/W. At maximum continuous current of 1.2 A per channel and a supply voltage of 12 V, power dissipation can reach 2.9 W per channel (assuming 0.5 ohm on-resistance). Ensure adequate PCB copper area and thermal vias to keep the junction temperature below 150 °C. For high ambient temperatures, consider adding a heatsink or reducing output current.
Place 100 nF ceramic capacitors close to each VS pin and a 10 µF electrolytic capacitor at the supply input to decouple high-frequency noise and handle current transients. Use wide traces for the motor output pins to minimize voltage drops and inductance. The exposed thermal pad should be soldered to a large copper pour for effective heat dissipation.
Do not exceed the absolute maximum supply voltage of 40 V. Ensure the logic inputs are not left floating; use pull-up or pull-down resistors as needed. The diagnostic pins are open-drain and require external pull-up resistors. When driving inductive loads, place freewheeling diodes across the motor terminals to prevent voltage spikes that could damage the device.
