LRA actuators typically have a narrow frequency
band over which they have an adequate haptic
response. This frequency window is typically ±2.5 Hz
wide or less, so driving an LRA actuator presents a
challenge. The DRV2603 solves this problem by
employing
auto
resonance
tracking,
which
automatically detects and tracks the LRA resonant
frequency in real time. This means that any input
PWM frequency within the input range (10 kHz to 250
kHz) will automatically produce the correct resonant
output frequency. As an additional benefit, the
DRV2603 implements an automatic braking algorithm
to prevent LRA ringing at the end of waveforms,
leaving the user with a crisp haptic sensation.
For both ERM and LRA actuators, the automatic input
level translation solves issues with low voltage PWM
sources
without
adding
additional
external
components, so if the digital I/O levels vary, the
output voltage does not change. The DRV2603 also
has supply correction that ensures no supply
regulation is required for constant vibration strength,
allowing an efficient, direct-battery connection.

7 Parameter Measurement Information
7.1 Test Setup for Graphs
With no output filter, the output waveform from the DRV2603 looks similar to Figure 1. The output signal contains
both a high frequency PWM component and a fundamental drive component which causes motion in the
actuator. To measure or observe the fundamental drive component, a low-pass filter must be used to eliminate
the PWM component. The digital filter function on a digital oscilloscope was utilized in the rest of the Typical
Characteristic figures. A 1st order, low-pass filter corner between 1 kHz and 3.5 kHz is recommended.

If a digital oscilloscope with digital filtering is not available, a 1st order, low-pass, RC filter network can be used
instead. Care must be taken not to use a filter impedance that is too low. This can interfere with the back-EMF
behavior of the actuator and corrupt the operation of the auto resonance function. A recommended circuit is
shown in Figure 8.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The DRV2603 is a haptic and vibratory driver designed specifically to meet the needs of haptic and vibration
applications in the portable market. The DRV2603 has two modes of operation, ERM mode and LRA mode. ERM
mode is designed to drive Eccentric Rotating Mass motors, which are generally DC motors of the bar or coin
type. LRA mode is designed to drive Linear Resonance Actuators, also known as linear vibrators, which
require an alternating signal that commutates at or very near the natural mechanical resonance frequency of the
actuator. These actuators present a unique control challenge that is solved in the DRV2603 by auto resonance
tracking.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Supply Voltage Rejection for Constant Vibration Strength
The DRV2603 features power supply feedback, so no external supply regulation is required. If the supply voltage
drifts over time (due to battery discharge, for example), the vibration strength will remain the same so long as
there is enough supply voltage to sustain the required output voltage. The DRV2603 can be connected directly to
the battery.
8.3.2 Low-Voltage Control Logic for Constant Vibration Strength
The PWM input uses a digital level-shifter, so as long as the input voltage meets the VIH and VIL levels, the
vibration strength will remain the same even if the digital levels were to vary. These benefits apply to both ERM
mode and LRA mode.
8.3.3 Thermal Protection
The DRV2603 has thermal protection that will shut down the device to prevent internal overheating. See the
Specifications for typical over temperature thresholds.

Feature Description (continued)
8.3.4 Overcurrent Protection
The DRV2603 has overcurrent protection that is useful in preventing damage from short conditions. The
overcurrent protection monitors current from VDD, GND, OUT+, and OUT-. See the Specifications for typical
overcurrent thresholds.
8.3.5 Linear Resonance Actuators (LRA)
Acceleration - g
Linear Resonant Actuators, or LRAs, only vibrate effectively at their resonant frequency. LRAs have a high-Q
frequency response due to which there is a rapid drop in vibration performance at offsets of 2 to 3 Hz from the
resonant frequency. Many factors also cause a shift or drift in the resonant frequency of the actuator such as
temperature, aging, the mass the product to which the LRA is mounted, and in the case of a portable product,
the manner in which it is held. Furthermore, as the actuator is driven to its maximum allowed voltage, many
LRAs will shift several Hz in frequency due to mechanical compression. All of these factors make a real-time
tracking auto-resonant algorithm critical when driving LRA to achieve consistent, optimized performance.
Frequency - Hz
fRESONANCE
Figure 9. Typical LRA Response
8.3.6 Auto Resonance Engine for LRA
No frequency calibration or actuator training is required to use the DRV2603. The DRV2603 auto resonance
engine tracks the resonant frequency of an LRA in real time. If the resonant frequency shifts in the middle of a
waveform for any reason, the engine will track it cycle to cycle. The auto resonance engine accomplishes this by
constantly monitoring the back-EMF of the actuator. The DRV2603 tracking range for LRA devices is 140 Hz to
220 Hz.
8.3.7 Eccentric Rotating Mass Motors (ERM)
Eccentric Rotating Mass motors, or ERMs, are typically DC-controlled motors of the bar or coin type. ERMs can
be driven in the clockwise direction or counter-clockwise depending on the polarity of voltage across its two
terminals. Bi-directional drive is made possible in a single-supply system by differential outputs that are capable
of sourcing and sinking current. This feature helps eliminate long vibration tails which are undesirable in haptic
feedback systems..

Feature Description (continued)
Another common approach to driving DC motors is the concept of overdrive voltage. To overcome the inertia of
the motor's mass, they are often overdriven for a short amount of time before returning to the motor's rated
voltage to sustain the motor's rotation. Negative overdrive is also used to stop (or brake) an ERM quickly by
reversing the magnetic field of the driving coil(s).
8.3.8 Edge Rate Control
The DRV2603 output driver implements Edge Rate Control (ERC). This ensures that the rise and fall
characteristics of the output drivers do not emit levels of radiation that could interfere with other circuitry common
in mobile and portable platforms. Because of ERC, no output filter or ferrites are necessary.
8.4 Device Functional Modes
8.4.1 LRA Mode
When in LRA mode, the DRV2603 employs a simple control scheme that is designed to be compatible with ERM
mode signaling. A 100% input duty cycle gives full vibration strength, and a 0% to 50% input duty cycle gives no
vibration strength. The auto resonance detection algorithm takes care of the physical layer signaling and
commutation required by linear resonance actuators. The DRV2603 implements closed-loop operation
comprising a simple feedback loop. If the back-EMF feedback tells the device that the vibration is too low relative
to the input duty cycle, the DRV2603 will increase the vibration strength. If the back-EMF feedback tells the
device that the vibration is too high relative to the input duty cycle, the DRV2603 automatically enforces a
braking algorithm. It follows that a 0% to 50% input duty cycle will always enforce braking until the LRA is no
longer moving. This form of signaling is used to preserve the same input format for both ERM and LRA drive;
therefore, no software changes are required when switching between ERMs and LRAs with the DRV2603.

Figure 11. LRA Mode
The exact full-scale output voltage depends on the physical construction of the LRA itself. Some LRA devices
give a small amount of back-EMF during full scale vibration, and other LRA devices give a much larger amount.
A nominal full-scale output value is 2.2 VRMS, but it can typically vary as much as +/- 10% depending on the
actuator's physical design. The output voltage can be approximated by the following equation between 50% and
100% input duty cycle.

Device Functional Modes (continued)
8.4.2 ERM Mode
The DRV2603 is a compact, cost-effective driver solution for ERM motors. Most competing solutions require
external components for biasing or level-shifting, but the DRV2603 requires only one decoupling capacitor giving
a total approximate circuit size of 2 mm by 2 mm. This small solution size still comes packed with features such
as a level-shifted input, differential outputs for braking, constant drive strength over supply, edge rate control, and
a wide input PWM frequency range.
When in ERM mode, the DRV2603 employs a simple control scheme. A 100% input duty cycle gives full-strength
forward rotation, a 50% input duty cycle give no rotation strength, and a 0% duty cycle give full-strength reverse
rotation. Forcing the motor velocity towards reverse rotation is used to implement motor braking in ERMs. By
stringing together various duty cycles over varying amounts of time, a haptic motor control signal will be
constructed at the output to precisely drive the motor.

The full-scale, open-load output voltage of the DRV2603 in ERM mode is 3.6V. The output stage has a total
nominal RDS of 1.9 Ω. When driving a 20 Ω ERM at full-scale, the differential voltage seen at the outputs is
approximately 3.3 V. When driving a 10 Ω ERM at full-scale, the output voltage is approximately 3.0 V.
The voltage seen at the outputs as a function of input duty cycle is given by this equation.

9 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.
9.1 Application Information
The DRV2603 is designed to drive ERM and LRA actuators used for haptic feedback. ERM and LRA actuators
can be used for numerous haptic feedback applications including vibration alerts, advanced vibration
communication, button replacement, and tactile feedback for touch surface or screens.
The DRV2603 output is controlled using PWM input. The duty-cycle of the PWM determines the amplitude of the
output waveform. By varying the duty cycle, advanced haptic patterns and sequences can be created such as
click, bumps, pulses, ramps and many more.
If a PWM port is not available, the DRV2603 PWM pin can be controlled with a GPIO; however, the DRV2603
will only function as an ON-OFF driver. In the case of an ERM, when the GPIO is ON the output is 100% and
when the GPIO is OFF the output is -100% (opposite direction). In the case of an LRA, when the GPIO is ON the
output is 100% and when the GPIO is OFF the driver automatically brakes and will automatically bring the

9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
9.2.2.1 Actuator Selection
The actuator decision is based on many factors including cost, form factor, vibration strength, power
consumption requirements, haptic sharpness, reliability, and audible noise performance. The actuator selection is
one of the most important design considerations of a haptic system and therefore the actuator should be the first
component to consider when designing the system.
The following can be used to select the minimum required supply voltage.
1. Find the rated and/or maximum operating voltage in the actuator datasheet; some actuator datasheets may
only have the rated voltage listed.
2. Using the larger of the rated and maximum operating voltage, add 250mV to get the minimum operating
voltage. Adding 250mV provides operating headroom to account for internal driver losses.
3. Check the supply voltage to ensure that the desired output is achieved.
A minimum supply current is also required based on the load. To ensure enough current can be sourced divide
the supply voltage above by the load resistance in the actuator datasheet. Compare this number with the current
capability of the battery or voltage supply.
9.2.2.2 Power Supply Selection
The DRV2603 supports supply voltages from 2.5 to 5.2V. The DRV2603 can be directly connected to many
battery types including common batteries like Lithium-Ion and Lithium-Polymer. The supply rejection feature of
the DRV2603 eliminates the need for a voltage regulator between the battery and VDD.
9.2.2.3 Sending a Haptic Effect
Sending a haptic effect with the DRV2603 is straightforward. The procedure is the same for both ERM and LRA
drive. The ERM/LRA pin should be tied high or low as shown in the system diagrams. Optimum performance is
achieved by using the following steps.

1. At or very near the same time, bring the EN pin high and start sourcing PWM waveform. No delays are
required. The best startup behavior is usually achieved when momentarily overdriving the actuator for 20 ms
to 50 ms. Reference the specifications of the actuator for optimum overdrive characteristics.
2. Change the PWM level as needed to achieve the desired effect.
3. When the effect is complete, set the PWM duty cycle to 0% if braking is desired. The EN pin must remain
high to actively brake the actuator. When braking is complete, set the EN pin low, concluding the haptic
effect. When braking an ERM, the user should take care not to brake the actuator for too long, or counterrotation can occur. When braking an LRA, the auto-resonance engine automatically drives the actuator to
zero vibration, so no significant reverse-phase vibration will ever occur.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
The DRV2603 can operate from 2.5V to 5.2V. The DRV2603 VDD pin can be connected directly to a battery to
eliminate a linear regulator or switching power supply. A small decoupling capacitor should be placed close to the
DRV2603 VDD pin.
10.1 Decoupling Capacitor
The DRV2603 has a switching output stage which pulls transient currents through the VDD pin. A 0.1 µF, low
equivalent-series-resistance (ESR) decoupling capacitor of the X5R or X7R type is recommended for smooth
operation of the output driver and the digital portion of the device.
11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
The following list contains guidelines for the DRV2603 layout:
• The decoupling capacitor for the power supply should be placed close to the device pin (VDD).
• The supply ground should be connected to all GND pins
