1 Features
3 Description
•
Dual H-bridge motor driver, can drive – One bipolar stepper motor
– One or two brushed DC motors
– Solenoids and other inductive loads
Low ON-resistance: HS + LS = 400 mΩ (Typical,
25°C)
Wide Power Supply Voltage Range
– 1.65 to 11 V
Pin-to-pin compatible with -
The DRV8411 is a dual H-bridge motor driver that can
drive one or two DC brush motors, one stepper motor,
solenoids, or other inductive loads. The tripler charge
pump allows the device to operate down to 1.65 V
to accommodate 1.8-V supply rails and low-battery
conditions. The charge pump integrates all capacitors
and allows for 100% duty cycle operation. The inputs
and outputs can be paralleled to drive high current
brush DC motors with half the RDS(ON).
– DRV8833: 360-mΩ/bridge
– DRV8833C: 1735-mΩ/bridge
– DRV8847: 1000-mΩ/bridge
– DRV8410: 800-mΩ/bridge
– DRV8411A: 400-mΩ/bridge
High output current capability: 4-A Peak
PWM control interface
Supports 1.8-V, 3.3-V, and 5-V logic inputs
Integrated current regulation
Low-power sleep mode
– ≤ 40 nA at VVM = 5 V, TJ = 25°C
Small package and footprint
The device implements current regulation by
comparing an internal refernce voltage to the voltage
on the xISEN pins, which is proportional to motor
current through an external sense resistor. The ability
to limit current can significantly reduce large currents
during motor startup and stall conditions.

SLVSGI0B – SEPTEMBER 2022 – REVISED JULY 2023
9 Detailed Description
9.1 Overview
The DRV8411 is a dual H-bridge motor driver for driving two brushed DC motors or one stepper motor from
a 1.65-V to 11-V supply rail. The integrated current regulation feature limits motor current to a predefined
maximum based on xISEN resistors.
Two logic inputs control each H-bridge, which consists of four N-channel MOSFETs that have a typical RDS(ON) of
400 mΩ (including one high-side and one low-side FET). The input and output pins can be paralleled to support
a single H-bridge driver with half of the RDS(ON) for driving higher currents. A single power input, VM, serves as
both device power and the motor winding bias voltage. The integrated charge pump of the device boosts VM
internally and fully enhances the high-side FETs. Motor speed can be controlled with pulse-width modulation, at
frequencies between 0 to 100 kHz. The device enters a low-power sleep mode by bringing the nSLEEP pin low.
A variety of integrated protection features protect the device in the case of a system fault. These include
undervoltage lockout (UVLO), overcurrent protection (OCP), and overtemperature shutdown (TSD).

The inputs can be set to constant voltages for 100% duty cycle drive, or they can be pulse-width modulated
(PWM) for variable motor speed. When using PWM, switching between driving (forward or reverse) and slowdecay states typically works best. For example, to drive a motor forward with 50% of the maximum RPM, IN1 = 1
and IN2 = 0 during the driving period or PWM "on" time, and IN1 = 1 and IN2 = 1 during the PWM "off" time.
Alternatively, the coast mode (IN1 = 0, IN2 = 0) for fast current decay is also available. To PWM using fast decay,
the PWM signal is applied to one xIN pin while the other is held low, as shown below.

Figure 9-1. H-Bridge Current Paths
When an output changes from driving high to driving low, or driving low to driving high, dead time is automatically
inserted to prevent shoot-through. The tDEAD time is the time in the middle when the output is High-Z. If the
output pin is measured during tDEAD, the voltage depends on the direction of current. If the current is leaving the
pin, the voltage is a diode drop below ground. If the current is entering the pin, the voltage is a diode drop above
VM. This diode is the body diode of the high-side or low-side FET.
The propagation delay time (tPD) is measured as the time between an input edge to output change. This time
accounts for input deglitch time and other internal logic propagation delays. The input deglitch time prevents
noise on the input pins from affecting the output state. Additional output slew delay timing accounts for FET turn
on or turn off times (tRISE and tFALL).

9.4.1.1 Parallel Bridge Interface
In the parallel bridge interface, the DRV8411 is configured to drive a higher current brushed-DC (BDC) motor by
connecting the driver outputs in parallel to reduce the RDS(ON) by a factor of two. Figure 9-3 shows an example of
how to connect the pins on the device. To use parallel bridge interface operation, connect AIN1 and BIN1 to the
same control signal, IN1, and connect AIN2 and BIN2 to the same control signal, IN2. Similarly, connect AOUT1
and BOUT1 to the same output node, OUT1, and connect AOUT2 and BOUT2 to the same output node, OUT2.
AISEN and BISEN must be connected to the same ground plane.
Current regulation may be used if AISEN and BISEN are connected to the same sense resistor. The voltage of
the xISEN pins will be compared to the internal VTRIP reference (0.2 V) to set the current regulation level.

9.4.2 Current Regulation
The current through the motor windings may be limited, by the current regulation feature of the DRV8411. For
DC motors, current control is used to limit the start-up and stall current of the motor. For stepper motors, current
control is often used when the supply rail rating is higher than the motor voltage rating so the winding current
remains within the motor specification.
The current regulation feature is implemented with a current chopping scheme. The PWM chopping current,
ITRIP, is set by a comparator which compares the voltage across a current sense resistor connected to the xISEN
pins with a reference voltage of 200 mV. Figure 9-4 shows the relevant circuitry for current regulation of a single
H-bridge in DRV8411.

Figure 9-5. Current-Regulation Time Periods
After tOFF elapses, the output is re-enabled according to the two inputs for that bridge, xINx. The device drives
current until the motor current reaches the ITRIP level again. The amount of time spent in the drive state depends
on the VM voltage, the back-EMF of the motor, and the inductance of the motor. If the state of the INx control
pins changes during the tOFF time, the remainder of the tOFF time is ignored, and the outputs will again follow the
inputs.
After tOFF elapses, if IOUT is still greater than ITRIP, the H-bridge enters another period of brake/low-side slow
decay for tOFF after a drive time of tBLANK..
The chopping current is calculated in Equation 1.
RSENSE = 0.2 V / ITRIP
(1)
Example: If a 1-Ω sense resistor is used, the chopping current will be 200 mV/1 Ω = 200 mA.

If current regulation is not required, the xISEN pins should be directly connected to the PCB ground plane.
9.4.3 Protection Circuits
The DRV8411 is fully protected against undervoltage, overcurrent and overtemperature events.
9.4.3.1 Overcurrent Protection (OCP)
An analog current limit circuit on each FET limits the current through the FET by limiting the gate drive internally.
If this current limit persists for longer than the OCP deglitch time (tOCP), all FETs in the H-bridge will disable and
the nFAULT pin will assert low. The driver re-enables after the OCP retry period (tRETRY) has passed. nFAULT
becomes high again at this time and normal operation resumes. If the fault condition is still present, the cycle
repeats as shown in Figure 9-6. Please note that only the H-bridge where an overcurrent condition is detected
will be disabled while the other bridge will function normally.

Figure 9-6. OCP Operation
Overcurrent conditions are detected independently on both high- and low-side FETs. This means that a short
to ground, supply, or across the motor winding will all result in an overcurrent shutdown. The xISEN pins also
integrate a separate overcurrent trip threshold specified by VOCP_ISEN for additional protection when the VM
voltage is low or the RSENSE resistance on the xISEN pin is high.
9.4.3.2 Thermal Shutdown (TSD)
If the die temperature exceeds safe limits, all FETs in the H-bridge will be disabled and the nFAULT pin asserts
low. Once the die temperature has fallen to a safe level, operation will automatically resume.
Any tendency of the device to enter TSD is an indication of either excessive power dissipation, insufficient
heatsinking, or an ambient temperature outside of the Recommended Operating Conditions.
9.4.3.3 Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
Whenever the voltage on the VM pin falls below the UVLO falling threshold voltage, VUVLO, all circuitry in the
device is disabled, the output FETS are disabled, and all internal logic is reset. Normal operation resumes when
the VVM voltage rises above the UVLO rising threshold as shown in Figure 9-7. The nFAULT pin is driven low
during an undervoltage condition and is released after operation starts again.
When VVM is close to 0 V, the internal circuitry may not bias properly, and the open-drain pull-down on the
nFAULT pin may release.

9.5.1 Active Mode
After the supply voltage on the VM pin has crossed the undervoltage threshold VUVLO, the nSLEEP pin is high,
and tWAKE has elapsed, the device enters active mode. In this mode, the H-bridge, charge pump, and internal
logic are active and the device is ready to receive inputs.
9.5.2 Low-Power Sleep Mode
The DRV8411 device supports a low power mode to reduce current consumption from the VM pin when the
driver is not active. This mode is entered by setting nSLEEP = logic low and waiting for tSLEEP to elapse.
In sleep mode, the H-bridge, charge pump, internal regulator, and internal logic are disabled and the device
draws minimal current from the supply pin (IVMQ). The device relies on a weak pulldown to ensure all of the
internal MOSFETs remain disabled. If the device is powered up while the nSLEEP pin is low, it immediately
enters sleep mode. After the nSLEEP pin is high for longer than the duration of tWAKE, the device becomes fully
operational.
The following timing diagram shows an example of entering and leaving sleep mode.

10.1.1.1.2.3 Stepping Modes
The DRV8411 is used to drive a stepper motor in full-stepping mode or non-circulating half-stepping mode using
the following bridge configurations:
• Full-stepping mode
• Half-stepping mode with slow decay
• Half-stepping mode with fast decay
10.1.1.1.2.3.1 Full-Stepping Operation
In full-stepping mode, the full-bridge operates in either of two modes (forward or reverse mode) with a phase
shift of 90° between the two windings. Full stepping is simplest stepper control mode to implement in firmware
and offers the best performance at high speeds.
The controller applies the PWM input to the AIN1, AIN2, BIN1, and BIN2 pins as shown in Figure 10-2 and the
driver operates only in forward (FRW) and reverse (REV) mode.

10.1.1.1.2.3.3 Half-Stepping Operation with Slow Decay
In this half-stepping mode, the driver achieves the 0-A state using the slow decay control state (known as
"brake mode" for BDC driving). Therefore, the full-bridge operates in one of the three modes (forward, reverse,
or brake/slow-decay mode) to position the rotor half-way between two full-step positions. The slow decay state
allows the current in the motor winding to decay slowly to 0 A. This mode is best-used when half-stepping at
slow speeds and may help to reduce stepper noise and vibration.
The controller applies the PWM input to the AIN1, AIN2, BIN1, and BIN2 pins as shown in Figure 10-4, and the
driver operates in forward, reverse, and brake mode.

10.1.1.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
10.1.1.2.2.1 Motor Voltage
The motor voltage used in an application depends on the rating of the selected motor and the desired revolutions
per minute (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.
10.1.1.2.2.2 Current Regulation
The trip current (ITRIP) is the maximum current driven through either winding. Because the peak current (start
current) of the motor is 900 mA, the ITRIP current level is selected to be just greater than the peak current. The
selected ITRIP value for this example is 1 A. Therefore, use Equation 4 to select the value of the sense resistors
(RSENSE_A and RSENSE_B) connected to the AISEN and BISEN pins.
RSENSE_A = RSENSE_B = 0.2 V / ITRIP = 0.2 V / 1 A = 200 mΩ

•
Have low inductance
Be rated for high enough power
Be placed closely to the motor driver
The power dissipated by the sense resistor equals IRMS 2 × R. In this example, the peak current is 900 mA, the
RMS motor current is 600 mA, and the sense resistor value is 200 mΩ. Therefore, the sense resistors (RSENSE12
and RSENSE34) dissipate 72 mW (600 mA2 × 200 mΩ = 72 mW). The power quickly increases with higher current
levels.
Resistors typically have a rated power within some ambient temperature range, along with a derated power
curve for high ambient temperatures. When a printed circuit board (PCB) is shared with other components
generating heat, margin should be added. For best practice, measure the actual sense resistor temperature in a
final system, along with the power MOSFETs, because those components are often the hottest.
Because power resistors are larger and more expensive than standard resistors, the common practice is to use
multiple standard resistors in parallel, between the sense node and ground. This practice distributes the current
and heat dissipation.

10.1.1.3 Thermal Considerations
10.1.1.3.1 Maximum Output Current
In actual operation, the maximum output current achievable with a motor driver is a function of die temperature.
This, in turn, is greatly affected by ambient temperature and PCB design. Basically, the maximum motor current
will be the amount of current that results in a power dissipation level that, along with the thermal resistance of the
package and PCB, keeps the die at a low enough temperature to stay out of thermal shutdown.
The dissipation ratings given in the data sheet can be used as a guide to calculate the approximate maximum
power dissipation that can be expected to be possible without entering thermal shutdown for several different
PCB constructions. However, for accurate data, the actual PCB design must be analyzed through measurement
or thermal simulation.
10.1.1.3.2 Power Dissipation
Power dissipation in the device is dominated by the DC power dissipated in the output FET resistance, or
RDS(ON). There is additional power dissipated due to PWM switching losses, which are dependent on PWM
frequency, rise and fall times, and VM supply voltages.
The DC power dissipation of one H-bridge can be roughly estimated by Equation 5.

RDS(ON) increases with temperature, so as the device heats, the power dissipation increases. This must be taken
into consideration when estimating the maximum output current.

10.1.1.3.3 Thermal Performance
The datasheet-specified junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, RθJA, is primarily useful for comparing various
drivers or approximating thermal performance. However, the actual system performance may be better or worse
than this value depending on PCB stackup, routing, number of vias, and copper area around the thermal
pad. The length of time the driver drives a particular current will also impact power dissipation and thermal
performance. This section considers how to design for steady-state and transient thermal conditions.
The data in this section was simulated using the following criteria:
HTSSOP (PWP package)
•
•
2-layer PCB (size 114.3 x 76.2 x 1.6 mm), standard FR4, 1-oz (35 mm copper thickness) or 2-oz copper
thickness. Thermal vias are only present under the thermal pad (12 vias in 4 x 3 array, 1 mm pitch, 0.2 mm
diameter, 0.025 mm Cu plating).
– Top layer: HTSSOP package footprint and copper plane heatsink. Top layer copper area is varied in
simulation.
– Bottom layer: ground plane thermally connected through vias under the thermal pad for the driver. Bottom
layer copper area varies with top copper area.
4-layer PCB (size 114.3 x 76.2 x 1.6 mm), standard FR4. Outer planes are 1-oz (35 mm copper thickness)
or 2-oz copper thickness. Inner planes are kept at 1-oz. Thermal vias are only present under the thermal pad
(12 vias in 4 x 3 array, 1 mm pitch, 0.2 mm diameter, 0.025 mm Cu plating).

10.1.1.3.3.1 Steady-State Thermal Performance
"Steady-state" conditions assume that the motor driver operates with a constant RMS current over a long
period of time. The figures in this section show how RθJA and ΨJB (junction-to-board characterization parameter)
change depending on copper area, copper thickness, and number of layers of the PCB. More copper area, more
layers, and thicker copper planes decrease RθJA and ΨJB, which indicate better thermal performance from the
PCB layout.

10.1.1.3.3.2 Transient Thermal Performance
The motor driver may experience different transient driving conditions that cause large currents to flow for a
short duration of time. These may include •
•
•
Motor start-up when the rotor is initially stationary.
Fault conditions when there is a supply or ground short to one of the motor outputs, and the overcurrent
protection triggers.
Briefly energizing a motor or solenoid for a limited time, then de-energizing.
For these transient cases, the duration of drive time is another factor that impacts thermal performance in
addition to copper area and thickness. In transient cases, the thermal impedance parameter ZθJA denotes the
junction-to-ambient thermal performance. The figures in this section show the simulated thermal impedances for
1-oz and 2-oz copper layouts for the HTSSOP and WQFN packages. These graphs indicate better thermal
performance with short current pulses. For short periods of drive time, the device die size and package
dominates the thermal performance. For longer drive pulses, board layout has a more significant impact on
thermal performance. Both graphs show the curves for thermal impedance split due to number of layers and
copper area as the duration of the drive pulse duration increases. Long pulses can be considered steady-state
performance.

10.1.1.4 Multi-Sourcing with Standard Motor Driver Pinout
The devices come in industry standard package footprints in the PWP and RTE packages.
As shown in Section 5, the DRV8410/11/11A devices are pin-to-pin compatible with the DRV8833 and
DRV8833C. Many drivers from other suppliers have footprints similar to DRV8833 and DRV8833C.
•
•
•
•
When replacing a device similar to DRV8833, user should remove the capacitors for the internal regulator
(VINT) and the charge pump (VCP) by setting them as DNP (do not place) in the design files.
The internal voltage reference for current regulation is 200 mV, just like the DRV8833 and DRV8833C.
Because the voltage reference is the same, the system can still use the same xISEN resistor values designed
for DRV8833 or other second source drivers with the same pinout.
DRV841xPWP can use the same footprint as DRV8833 and DRV8833C in the HTSSOP package as shown
in Figure 10-21 and Figure 10-22.
DRV841xRTE are only footprint compatible with DRV8833C and other suppliers in the 3 mm x 3 mm QFN
package.

11 Power Supply Recommendations
11.1 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 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.

Figure 11-1. Example Setup of Motor Drive System With External Power Supply
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.
11.2 Power Supply and Logic Sequencing
There is no specific sequence for powering up the DRV8411. The presence of digital input signals is acceptable
before VM is applied. After VM is applied to the DRV8411, the device begins operation based on the status of
the control pins.

12 Layout
12.1 Layout Guidelines
Since the DRV8411 device has integrated power MOSFETs capable of driving high current, careful attention
should be paid to the layout design and external component placement. Some design and layout guidelines
are provided below. For more information on layout recommendations, please see the application note Best
Practices for Board Layout of Motor Drivers.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Low ESR ceramic capacitors should be utilized for the VM-to-GND. X5R and X7R types are recommended.
The VM power supply capacitor should be placed as close to the device as possible to minimize the loop
inductance.
The VM power supply bulk capacitor can be of ceramic or electrolytic type, but should also be placed as
close as possible to the device to minimize the loop inductance.
VM, xOUTx, and GND pins carry the high current from the power supply to the outputs and back to ground.
Thick metal routing should be utilized for these traces as is feasible.
GND should connect directly on the PCB ground plane.
The device thermal pad should be attached to the PCB top layer ground plane and internal ground plane
(when available) through thermal vias to maximize the PCB heat sinking.
The copper plane area attached to the thermal pad should be maximized to ensure optimal heat sinking.
