Figure 5. Motor Control Circuitry
The output pins are driven between VM and VNEG. VNEG is normally ground for single supply applications, and
a negative voltage for dual supply applications.
Note that there are multiple VM motor power supply pins. All VM pins must be connected together to the motor
supply voltage.
7.3.2 Logic Inputs
The logic inputs and nFAULT output are referenced to the LGND pin. This pin would be connected to the logic
ground of the source of the logic signals (for example, microcontroller). This allows LGND to be at a different
voltage than VNEG; for example, the designer can drive a load with bipolar power supplies by driving VM with
+24 V and VNEG with -24 V, and connect LGND to 0 V (ground).

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.3 Bridge Control
The INx input pins directly control the state (high or low) of the OUTx outputs; the ENx input pins enable or
disable the OUTx driver. Table 1 shows the logic.

L

H
The inputs can also be used for PWM control of, for example, the speed of a DC motor. When controlling a
winding with PWM, when the drive current is interrupted, the inductive nature of the motor requires that the
current must continue to flow. This is called recirculation current. To handle this recirculation current, the Hbridge can operate in two different states, fast decay or slow decay. In fast decay mode, the H-bridge is disabled
and recirculation current flows through the body diodes; in slow decay, the motor winding is shorted.
To PWM using fast decay, the PWM signal is applied to the ENx pin; to use slow decay, the PWM signal is
applied to the INx pin. Table 2 is an example of driving a DC motor using OUT1 and OUT2 as an H-bridge:

7.3.4 Charge Pump
Because the output stages use N-channel FETs, a gate drive voltage higher than the VM power supply is
needed to fully enhance the high-side FETs. The DRV8844 integrates a charge pump circuit that generates a
voltage above the VM supply for this purpose.

7.3.5 Protection Circuits
The DRV8844 is fully protected against undervoltage, overcurrent and overtemperature events.
7.3.5.1 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 deglitch time, the channel experiencing the overcurrent will
be disabled and the nFAULT pin will be driven low. The driver will remain off until either RESET is asserted or
VM power is cycled.
Overcurrent conditions on both high and low side devices; i.e., a short to ground, supply, or across the motor
winding will all result in an overcurrent shutdown.
7.3.5.2 Thermal Shutdown (TSD)
If the die temperature exceeds safe limits, all FETs in the H-bridge will be disabled and the nFAULT pin will be
driven low. Once the die temperature has fallen to a safe level operation will automatically resume.
7.3.5.3 Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
If at any time the voltage on the VM pins falls below the undervoltage lockout threshold voltage, all outputs will
be disabled, internal logic will be reset, and the nFAULT pin will be driven low. Operation will resume when VM
rises above the UVLO threshold.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 nRESET and nSLEEP Operation
The nRESET pin, when driven active low, resets the internal logic. It also disables the H-bridge drivers. All inputs
are ignored while nRESET is active.
Driving nSLEEP low will put the device into a low power sleep state. In this state, the H-bridges are disabled, the
gate drive charge pump is stopped and all internal clocks are stopped. In this state all inputs are ignored until
nSLEEP returns inactive high. When returning from sleep mode, some time (approximately 1 ms) needs to pass
before the motor driver becomes fully operational. Note that nRESET and nSLEEP have internal pulldown
resistors of approximately 100 kΩ. These signals need to be driven to logic high for device operation.
The V3P3OUT LDO regulator remains operational in sleep mode.

8 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
The DRV8844 can be used to drive one stepper motor, multiple brushed DC motors, or multiple other inductive
loads.
The outputs can be connected in parallel to increase the drive current. If connecting the outputs as in a fullbridge configuration, any two outputs can be connected in parallel. If configured as two independent half bridges,
OUT1 and OUT2 must be paired, and OUT3 and OUT4 must be paired. This pairing is because pin 6 (SRC12) is
the source for the low-side FETs of OUT1 and OUT2, and pin 9 (SRC34) is the source for the low-side FETs of
OUT3 and OUT4.
An optional sense resistor can be used to monitor the current. If using sense resistors, place the resistor
between the SRC12 or SRC34 pins and the VNEG pins.

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.2.1 Motor Voltage
The ratings of the motor selected and the desired RPM determine the motor voltage the designer should use. 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.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
9.1 Bulk Capacitance
Having an 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 amount of local capacitance needed 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
The inductance between the power supply and the motor drive system limits the rate current can change from
the power supply. If the local bulk capacitance is too small, the system responds to excessive current demands
or dumps from the motor with a change in voltage. When adequate bulk capacitance is used, the motor voltage
remains stable and high current can be quickly supplied.
The data sheet generally provides a recommended value, but system-level testing is required to determine the
appropriate sized bulk capacitor.

The voltage rating for bulk capacitors should be higher than the operating voltage, to provide margin for cases
when the motor transfers energy to the supply.

10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
The bulk capacitor should be placed to minimize the distance of the high-current path through the motor driver
device. The connecting metal trace widths should be as wide as possible, and numerous vias should be used
when connecting PCB layers. These practices minimize inductance and allow the bulk capacitor to deliver high
current.
Small-value capacitors should be ceramic, and placed closely to device pins.
The high-current device outputs should use wide metal traces.
The device thermal pad should be soldered to the PCB top-layer ground plane. Multiple vias should be used to
connect to a large bottom-layer ground plane. The use of large metal planes and multiple vias help dissipate the
I2 × RDS(on) heat that is generated in the device.

10.3 Thermal Considerations
The DRV8844 has thermal shutdown (TSD) as described above. If the die temperature exceeds approximately
150°C, the device will be disabled until the temperature drops to a safe level.
Any tendency of the device to enter TSD is an indication of either excessive power dissipation, insufficient
heatsinking, or too high an ambient temperature.

Thermal Considerations (continued)
10.3.1 Heatsinking
The PowerPAD™ package uses an exposed pad to remove heat from the device. For proper operation, this pad
must be thermally connected to copper on the PCB to dissipate heat. On a multi-layer PCB with a ground plane,
this can be accomplished by adding a number of vias to connect the thermal pad to the ground plane. On PCBs
without internal planes, copper area can be added on either side of the PCB to dissipate heat. If the copper area
is on the opposite side of the PCB from the device, thermal vias are used to transfer the heat between top and
bottom layers.
For details about how to design the PCB, refer to TI application report SLMA002, PowerPAD™ Thermally
Enhanced Package and TI application brief SLMA004, PowerPAD™ Made Easy, available at www.ti.com.
In general, the more copper area that can be provided, the more power can be dissipated.
10.4 Power Dissipation
Power dissipation in the DRV8844 is dominated by the power dissipated in the output FET resistance, or RDS(ON).
Average power dissipation of each H-bridge when running a DC motor can be roughly estimated by Equation 1.
P
2 u RDS(ON) u IOUT
2
where
•
•
•
P is the power dissipation of one H-bridge
RDS(ON) is the resistance of each FET
IOUT is the RMS output current being applied to each winding
(1)
IOUT is equal to the average current drawn by the DC motor. Note that at start-up and fault conditions this current
is much higher than normal running current; these peak currents and their duration also need to be taken into
consideration. The factor of 2 comes from the fact that at any instant two FETs are conducting winding current
(one high-side and one low-side).
The total device dissipation will be the power dissipated in each of the two H-bridges added together.
The maximum amount of power that can be dissipated in the device is dependent on ambient temperature and
heatsinking.
Note that RDS(ON) increases with temperature, so as the device heats, the power dissipation increases. This must
be taken into consideration when sizing the heatsink.
