SLVSBN4C – JANUARY 2013 – REVISED AUGUST 2016
DRV8839 Low-Voltage Dual ½-H-Bridge Driver IC
1 Features
3 Description
•
The DRV8839 provides a versatile power driver
solution for cameras, consumer products, toys, and
other low-voltage or battery-powered applications.
The device has two independent ½-H-bridge drivers
and can drive one DC motor or one winding of a
stepper motor, as well as other devices like
solenoids. The output stages use N-channel power
MOSFETs configured as ½-H-bridges. An internal
charge pump generates needed gate-drive voltages.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The DRV8839 is an integrated motor driver solution used for brushed motor control. The device integrates two
independent ½ H-bridge, and can drive one motor in both directions or two motors in one direction. The output
driver block for each ½ H-bridge consists of N-channel power MOSFETs. An internal charge pump generates the
gate drive voltages. Protection features include overcurrent protection, short-circuit protection, undervoltage
lockout, and overtemperature protection.
The DRV8839 allows separation of the motor voltage and logic voltage if desired. If VM and VCC are less than
7 V, the two voltages may be connected.
The control interface of the DRV8839 uses INx and ENx to control each ½ H-bridge separately.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Protection Circuits
The DRV8839 is fully protected against undervoltage, overcurrent, and overtemperature events.
7.3.1.1 Overcurrent Protection (OCP)
An analog current limit circuit on each FET limits the current through the FET by removing the gate drive. If this
analog current limit persists for longer than the OCP time, all FETs in the H-bridge disables. After approximately
1 ms, the bridge will be re-enabled automatically.
Overcurrent conditions on both high-side and low-side devices; a short to ground, supply, or across the motor
winding result in an overcurrent shutdown.
7.3.1.2 Thermal Shutdown (TSD)
If the die temperature exceeds safe limits, all FETs in the H-bridge disables. Operation automatically resumes
once the die temperature has fallen to a safe level.
7.3.1.3 Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
If at any time the voltage on the VCC pin falls below the undervoltage lockout threshold voltage, all circuitry in
the device disables and internal logic resets. Operation resumes when VCC rises above the UVLO threshold.

unnecessary internal circuitry powers down.

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The following design procedure can be used to configure the DRV8839 in a brushed motor application.
8.2.2.1 Motor Voltage
The appropriate motor voltage depends on the ratings of the motor selected and the desired RPM. A higher
voltage spins a brushed DC motor faster with the same PWM duty cycle applied to the power FETs. A higher
voltage also increases the rate of current change through the inductive motor windings.
8.2.2.2 Low-Power Operation
When entering sleep mode, TI recommends setting all inputs as a logic low to minimize system power.
8.2.2.3 Application Curves
The following scope captures show a typical motor startup and running. Channel 1 is VM, Channel 2 is IN1,
Channel 3 is IN2, and Channel 4 is motor current. the motor used is a NMB Technologies, PPN7PA12C1.

The input pins can drive within their recommended operating conditions with or without the VCC and VM power
supplies present. No leakage current path exists to the supply. There is a weak pulldown resistor (approximately
100 kΩ) to ground on each input pin.
VCC and VM can be applied and removed in any order. When VCC is removed, the device enters a low-power
state and draws very little current from VM. If the supply voltage is between 1.8 V and 7 V, VCC and VM can
connect together.
The VM voltage supply does not have any undervoltage lockout protection (UVLO), so as long as VCC > 1.8 V,
the internal device logic remains active. This means that the VM pin voltage may drop to 0 V, however, the load
may not be sufficiently driven at low VM voltages.
9.1 Bulk Capacitance
Having appropriate local bulk capacitance is an important factor in motor drive system design. It is generally
beneficial to have more bulk capacitance, while the disadvantages are increased cost and physical size.
The required amount of local capacitance depends on a variety of factors, including:
• The highest current required by the motor system
• The power supply’s capacitance and ability to source current
• The amount of parasitic inductance between the power supply and motor system
• The acceptable voltage ripple
• The type of motor used (brushed DC, brushless DC, stepper)
• The motor braking method

10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
The VCC pin should be bypassed to GND using low-ESR ceramic bypass capacitors with a recommended value
of 0.1-μF rated for VCC. This capacitor should be placed as close to the VCC pin as possible with a thick trace.
The VM pin should be bypassed to GND using low-ESR ceramic bypass capacitors with a recommended value
of 0.1 μF rated for VM. This capacitor should be placed as close to the VM pin as possible with a thick trace. The
VM pin must bypass to ground using an appropriate bulk capacitor. This component can be an electrolytic and
should be located close to the DRV8839 device.

10.3 Thermal Considerations
The DRV8839 has thermal shutdown (TSD) as described above. If the die temperature exceeds approximately
150°C, the device disables until the temperature drops to a safe level.
Any tendency of the device to enter thermal shutdown is an indication of either excessive power dissipation,
insufficient heatsinking, or too high an ambient temperature.
10.3.1 Power Dissipation
The power dissipation of the DRV8839 is a function of RMS motor current and the each output’s FET resistance
(RDS(ON)) as seen in Equation 1:
Power ≈ IRMS² × (High-Side RDS(ON) + Low-Side RDS(ON)

Thermal Considerations (continued)
For this example, VVM = 1.8 V, VVCC = 1.8 V, the ambient temperature is 35°C, and the junction temperature
reaches 65°C. At 65°C, the sum of RDS(ON) is about 1 Ω. With an example motor current of 0.8 A, the dissipated
power in the form of heat will be 0.8 A² × 1 Ω = 0.64 W.
The temperature that the DRV8839 reaches will depend on the thermal resistance to the air and PCB. It is
important to solder the device thermal pad to the PCB ground plane, with vias to the top and bottom board
layers, in order dissipate heat into the PCB and reduce the device temperature. In the example used here, the
DRV8839 had an effective thermal resistance RθJA of 47°C/W, and as shown in Equation 2:
TJ = TA + (PD × RθJA) = 35°C + (0.64 W × 47°C/W) = 65°C
