Key Differentiators

  • Higher output current (14 A per bridge) compared to DRV8412DDW (vs DRV8412DDW)
  • Wide load voltage range (0-52.5 V) supports 48V systems (vs DRV8412DDW)
  • Integrated protection features (OCP, OTP, UVLO, OVP) enhance reliability (vs DRV8412DDW)

Design Notes

The DRV8432DKDR can dissipate significant power at high currents. For example, at 14 A per bridge with RDS(on) of 110 mΞ©, each bridge dissipates approximately 21.6 W (IΒ²R). The 36-HSSOP package has a thermal pad that must be soldered to a large copper area on the PCB. Use multiple thermal vias to connect the pad to inner and bottom layers for effective heat spreading. For continuous operation above 10 A, consider adding a heatsink or forced airflow.

Place bootstrap capacitors (typically 0.1 Β΅F) as close as possible to the BST and OUT pins to minimize loop inductance. Use low-ESR ceramic capacitors for the logic supply (VDD) and motor supply (VM) decoupling. The high-current paths (VM, OUT1-4, GND) should be wide and short to reduce parasitic inductance and resistance. Separate power ground and logic ground, connecting them at a single point near the thermal pad.

Do not exceed the absolute maximum supply voltage of 70 V on VM. Ensure the logic supply (VDD) is within 10.8-13.2 V; applying higher voltage can damage the device. The sleep pin (SLEEP) must be pulled high for normal operation; leaving it floating may cause unintended shutdown. Also, ensure the OCP, OTP, UVLO, and OVP flag pins are monitored by the microcontroller to handle fault conditions promptly.
