•
•
The DRV8601 is a single-supply haptic driver that is
optimized to drive a DC motor (also known as
Eccentric Rotating Mass or ERM in haptics
terminology) or a linear vibrator (also known as
Linear Resonant Actuator or LRA in haptics
terminology) using a single-ended PWM input signal.
With a fast turn-on time of 100 µs, the DRV8601 is an
excellent haptic driver for use in mobile phones and
other portable electronic devices.

The DRV8601 drives up to 400 mA from a
3.3-V supply. Near rail-to-rail output swing under load
ensures sufficient voltage drive for most DC motors.
Differential output drive allows the polarity of the
voltage across the output to be reversed quickly,
thereby enabling motor speed control in both
clockwise and counter-clockwise directions, allowing
quick motor stopping. A wide input voltage range
allows precise speed control of both DC motors and
linear vibrators.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
DRV8601 is a single-supply haptic driver that is optimized to drive ERM or LRAs. DRV8601 can drive in both
clockwise and counter-clockwise directions, as well as stop the motor quickly. This is possible due to the fact that
outputs are driven differentially and are capable of driving or sinking current. DRV8601 also eliminates long
vibration tails which are undesirable in haptic feedback systems.
The DRV8601 can accept a single-ended PWM source or single-ended DC control voltage and perform singleended to differential conversion. A PWM signal is typically generated using software, and many different
advanced haptic sensations can be produced by inputting different types of PWM signals into the DRV8601.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Support for ERM and LRA Actuators
Linear vibrators (also known as Linear Resonant Actuators or LRA in haptics terminology) vibrate only at their
resonant frequency. Usually, linear vibrators have a high-Q frequency response, due to which there is a rapid
drop in vibration performance at offsets of 3 to 5 Hz from the resonant frequency. Therefore, while driving a
linear vibrator with the DRV8601, ensure that the commutation of the input PWM signal is within the prescribed
frequency range for the chosen linear vibrator. Vary the duty cycle of the PWM signal symmetrically above and
below 50% to vary the strength of the vibration. As in the case of DC motors, the PWM signal is typically
generated using software, and many different advanced haptic sensations can be produced by applying different
PWM signals into the DRV8601.

Figure 13. LRA Example for 1/2 Full-Scale Drive
The DRV8601 is designed to drive a DC motor (also known as Eccentric Rotating Mass or ERM in haptics
terminology) in both clockwise and counter-clockwise directions, as well as to stop the motor quickly. This is
made possible because the outputs are fully differential and capable of sourcing and sinking current. This feature
helps eliminate long vibration tails which are undesirable in haptic feedback systems.

Feature Description (continued)
Copyright © 2016, Texas Instruments Incorporated
Figure 14. Reversal of Direction of Motor Spin Using DRV8601
Another common approach to driving DC motors is the concept of overdrive voltage. To overcome the inertia of
the mass of the motor, they are often overdriven for a short amount of time before returning to the rated voltage
of the motor in order to sustain the rotation of the motor. The DRV8601 can overdrive a motor up to the VDD
voltage. Overdrive is also used to stop (or brake) a motor quickly. The DRV8601 can brake up to a voltage of
–VDD. For safe and reliable overdrive voltage and duration, refer to the data sheet of the motor.
7.3.2 Internal Reference
The internal voltage divider at the REFOUT pin of this device sets a mid-supply voltage for internal references
and sets the output common mode voltage to VDD/2. Adding a capacitor to this pin filters any noise into this pin
and increases the PSRR. REFOUT also determines the rise time of VO+ and VO when the device is taken out of
shutdown. The larger the capacitor, the slower the rise time. Although the output rise time depends on the
bypass capacitor value.
7.3.3 Shutdown Mode
DRV8601 has a shutdown mode which is controlled using the EN pin. EN pin is 1.8-V compatible. By pulling EN
pin low, the device enters low power state, consuming only 10 nA of shutdown current.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
DRV8601 is an analog input with differential output. DRV8601 does not require any digital interface to set up the
device. DRV8601 can be configured in various modes by configuring the device in differential or single ended
mode as described in Application and Implementation.

8.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
In the pseudo-differential feedback configuration (Figure 16), feedback is taken from only one of the output pins,
thereby reducing the number of external components required for the solution. The DRV8601 has an internal
reference voltage generator which keeps the REFOUT voltage at VDD/2. The internal reference voltage can be
used if and only if the PWM voltage is the same as the supply voltage of the DRV8601 (if VPWM = VDD, as
assumed in this section).
Having VPWM= VDD ensures that there is no voltage signal applied to the motor at a PWM duty cycle of 50%. This
is a convenient way of temporarily stopping the motor without powering off the DRV8601. Also, this configuration
ensures that the direction of rotation of the motor changes when crossing a PWM duty cycle of 50% in both
directions. For example, if an ERM motor rotates in the clockwise direction at 20% duty cycle, it will rotate in the
counter-clockwise direction at 80% duty cycle at nearly the same speed.
Mathematically, the output voltage is given by Equation 1:

where

RF is normally set equal to RI (RF = RI) so that an overdrive voltage of VDD is achieved when the PWM duty cycle
is set to 100%. The optional feedback capacitor, CF, forms a low-pass filter together with the feedback resistor
RF, and therefore, the output differential voltage is a function of the average value of the input PWM signal.
When driving a motor, design the cutoff frequency of the low-pass filter to be sufficiently lower than the PWM
frequency in order to eliminate the PWM frequency and its harmonics from entering the motor. This is desirable
when driving motors which do not sufficiently reject the PWM frequency by themselves. When driving a linear
vibrator in this configuration, if the feedback capacitor CF is used, care must be taken to make sure that the lowpass cutoff frequency is higher than the resonant frequency of the linear vibrator.
When driving motors which can sufficiently reject the PWM frequency by themselves, the feedback capacitor
may be eliminated. For this example, the output voltage is given by Equation 2:

where the only difference from Equation 1 is that the filtering action of the capacitor is not present.

8.2.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
This configuration is desirable when a regulated supply voltage for the DRV8601 (VDD) is availble, but that
voltage is different than the PWM input voltage (VPWM). A single NPN transistor can be used as a low-cost level
shifting solution. This ensures that VIN = VDD even when VPWM ≠ VDD. A regulated supply for the DRV8601 is still
recommended in this scenario. If the supply voltage varies, the PWM level shifter output will follow, and this will,
in turn, cause a change in vibration strength. However, if the variance is acceptable, the DRV8601 will still
operate properly when connected directly to a battery, for example. A 50% duty cycle will still translate to zero
vibration strength across the life cycle of the battery. RF is normally set equal to RI (RF = RI) so that an overdrive
voltage of VDD is achieved when the PWM duty cycle is set to 100%.

8.2.3.2 Detailed Design Procedure
This configuration is useful for connecting the DRV8601 to an unregulated power supply, most commonly a
battery. The gain can then be independently set so that the required motor overdrive voltage can be achieved
even when VPWM < VDD. This is often the case when VPWM = 1.8 V, and the desired overdrive voltage is 3.0 V or
above. Note that VDD must be greater than or equal to the desired overdrive voltage. A resistor divider can be
used to create a VPWM/2 reference for the DRV8601. If the shutdown control voltage is driven by a GPIO in the
same supply domain as VPWM, it can be used to supply the resistor divider as in Figure 18 so that no current is
drawn by the divider in shutdown.
In this configuration, feedback is taken from both output pins. The output voltage is given by Equation 3:

where

Note that this differs from Equation 1 for the pseudo-differential configuration by a factor of 2 because of
differential feedback. The optional feedback capacitor CF forms a low-pass filter together with the feedback
resistor RF, and therefore, the output differential voltage is a function of the average value of the input PWM
signal VIN. When driving a motor, design the cutoff frequency of the low-pass filter to be sufficiently lower than
the PWM frequency in order to eliminate the PWM frequency and its harmonics from entering the motor. This is
desirable when driving motors which do not sufficiently reject the PWM frequency by themselves. When driving a
linear vibrator in this configuration, if the feedback capacitor CF is used, care must be taken to make sure that the
low-pass cutoff frequency is higher than the resonant frequency of the linear vibrator.
When driving motors which can sufficiently reject the PWM frequency by themselves, the feedback capacitor
may be eliminated. For this example, the output voltage is given by Equation 4:

8.2.3.2.1 Selecting Components
8.2.3.2.1.1 Resistors RI and RF
Choose RF and RI in the range of 20 kΩ to 100 kΩ for stable operation.
8.2.3.2.1.2 Capacitor CR
This capacitor filters any noise on the reference voltage generated by the DRV8601 on the REFOUT pin, thereby
increasing noise immunity. However, a high value of capacitance results in a large turn-on time. A typical value
of 1 nF is recommended for a fast turn-on time. All capacitors should be X5R dielectric or better.
