Typical Applications
DRV8876PWPT is suitable for 6 applications: Brushed DC Motor Control in Printers, Robotics and Automation, Industrial Automation, Home Appliances, Battery-Powered Devices, Automotive (Non-Grade).
Brushed DC Motor Control in Printers
The DRV8876PWPT is ideal for driving the paper feed and carriage motors in printers. Its 4.5-V to 37-V supply range accommodates various printer power rails, while the integrated current sensing enables precise torque control for consistent paper handling. The low-power sleep mode reduces standby consumption, extending battery life in portable printers. The HTSSOP package's thermal pad ensures reliable operation during continuous printing. With 3.5-A peak current, it can handle the inrush current of DC motors without external components.
Recommended
Robotics and Automation
In robotics, the DRV8876PWPT drives DC motors for wheel movement, arm actuation, and grippers. Its wide supply voltage range supports battery packs from 2S to 8S LiPo. The integrated current regulation allows setting a maximum motor current, protecting the motor and battery from overcurrent conditions. The current sense feedback can be used for stall detection and closed-loop speed control. The device's small HTSSOP footprint is ideal for space-constrained robot PCBs. With protection features like overtemperature and undervoltage lockout, it ensures reliable operation in demanding environments.
Recommended
Industrial Automation
The DRV8876PWPT is suitable for industrial automation applications such as conveyor belts, valve actuators, and pump control. Its 37-V operating voltage allows direct connection to 24-V industrial supplies with headroom. The integrated current sensing enables precise control of motor torque, which is critical for applications requiring consistent force. The device's robust protection features, including overcurrent and overtemperature, ensure reliable operation in harsh industrial environments. The HTSSOP package with exposed pad aids in thermal management, allowing continuous operation at high currents.
Recommended
Home Appliances
The DRV8876PWPT is used in home appliances like washing machines, dishwashers, and vacuum cleaners to drive pumps, fans, and brushless DC motors. Its wide supply voltage range accommodates various AC-DC adapter outputs. The low-power sleep mode reduces energy consumption when the appliance is in standby, meeting energy efficiency standards. The integrated current sensing allows for load detection and adaptive control, improving performance and reliability. The device's compact package and minimal external components simplify PCB design, reducing overall system cost.
Recommended
Battery-Powered Devices
The DRV8876PWPT is ideal for battery-powered devices such as power tools, drones, and portable medical devices. Its 4.5-V minimum supply voltage allows operation from a single-cell Li-ion battery (3.7 V nominal) with a boost converter, or directly from 2S batteries. The low quiescent current in sleep mode extends battery life. The integrated current regulation prevents battery overcurrent, protecting the battery and motor. The device's small footprint and high efficiency make it suitable for compact, power-sensitive designs.
Recommended
Automotive (Non-Grade)
While not AEC-Q100 qualified, the DRV8876PWPT can be used in non-automotive-grade applications within vehicles, such as infotainment systems, seat adjusters, and mirror motors. Its wide supply range (4.5-37V) covers automotive battery voltages (12V nominal, up to 37V during load dump). The integrated current sensing enables precise control of motor position and speed. The device's protection features, including overcurrent and overtemperature, ensure reliable operation in the harsh automotive environment. For automotive-grade requirements, use the DRV8876QPWPRQ1 instead.

Key Differentiators
- Integrated current sensing and regulation (vs DRV8873QPWPRQ1)
- Wide supply voltage range (4.5V to 37V) (vs DRV8873QPWPRQ1)
- Low-power sleep mode (vs DRV8876RGTR)
Design Notes
The DRV8876PWPT in HTSSOP-16 package has an exposed thermal pad that must be soldered to a PCB copper area for effective heat dissipation. For continuous operation at high currents, ensure the PCB has adequate copper area (at least 1 square inch) and thermal vias to the ground plane. The thermal resistance (theta_JA) is typically around 40Β°C/W, so at 3.5A and 12V supply with 6V motor voltage, power dissipation is approximately 21W, which would require aggressive cooling. In practice, limit continuous current to lower levels or use PWM to reduce average power.
Place the charge pump capacitor (typically 0.1uF) as close as possible to the CP1 and CP2 pins. The VM pin should be decoupled with a 10uF ceramic capacitor placed near the pin, and a 0.1uF capacitor in parallel for high-frequency noise. The current sense resistor (if used) should be placed close to the ISEN pin to minimize parasitic inductance. The exposed thermal pad should be connected to the ground plane with multiple vias for optimal thermal performance.
Do not exceed the absolute maximum supply voltage of 40V. Ensure the logic supply (VDD) is within the specified range (typically 3.3V or 5V). The SLEEP pin should be pulled high for normal operation and low for sleep mode; do not leave it floating. The nFAULT pin is open-drain and requires a pull-up resistor. When using current regulation, set the VREF voltage correctly to achieve the desired current limit. Also, ensure the motor's back-EMF does not exceed the supply voltage, which could cause issues.
Compliance Information
RoHS and REACH compliant per TI product page. Not AEC-Q100 qualified; use DRV8876QPWPRQ1 for automotive.
