7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The DRV8811 device is a highly configurable, integrated motor driver solution for bipolar stepper motors. The
device integrates two H-bridges, current sense and regulation circuitry, and a microstepping indexer. The
DRV8811 device can be powered with a supply voltage between 8 V and 38 V and is capable of providing an
output current up to 1.9 A full-scale.
A simple STEP and DIR interface allows for easy interfacing to the controller. The internal indexer is able to
execute high-accuracy microstepping without requiring the controller to manage the current regulation loop.
The current regulation is highly configurable, with three decay modes of operation. They are fast, slow, and
mixed decay, which can be selected depending on the application requirements. The DRV8811 device also
provides configurable blanking, off time, and mixed decay, in order to adjust to a wide range of motors.
A low-power sleep mode is incorporated which allows for minimal power consumption when the system is idle.

7.3.2 Current Regulation
The PWM chopping current is set by a comparator, which compares the voltage across a current-sense resistor,
multiplied by a factor of 8, with a reference voltage. The reference voltage is input from the VREF pin. The fullscale (100%) chopping current is calculated as follows:

8 ´ R SENSE (W)
(1)
Example:
If a 0.22-Ω sense resistor is used and the VREF pin is 3.3 V, the full-scale (100%) chopping current is
3.3 V / (8 × 0.22 Ω) = 1.875 A.
The reference voltage is also scaled by an internal DAC that allows torque control for fractional stepping of a
bipolar stepper motor, as described in the Microstepping Indexer section.
When a winding is activated, the current through it rises until it reaches the chopping current threshold described
previously; then the current is switched off for a fixed off-time. The off-time is determined by the values of a
resistor and capacitor connected to the RCA (for bridge A) and RCB (for bridge B) pins. The off-time is
approximated by:
t OFF (ms) = R (W) ´ C (nF)
(2)
To avoid falsely tripping on transient currents when the winding is first activated, a blanking period is used
immediately after turning on the FETs, during which the state of the current-sense comparator is ignored. The
blanking time is determined by the value of the capacitor connected to the RCx pin and is approximated by:
t BLANK (ns) = 1400 (W) ´ C (nF)
(3)
7.3.3 Decay Mode
During PWM current chopping, the H-bridge is enabled to drive through the motor winding until the PWM current
chopping threshold is reached. This is shown in Figure 7, Item 1. The current flow direction shown indicates
positive current flow in Table 2.
Once the chopping current threshold is reached, the H-bridge can operate in two different states, fast decay or
slow decay.
In fast decay mode, once the PWM chopping current level has been reached, the H-bridge reverses state to
allow winding current to flow in a reverse direction. If synchronous rectification is enabled (SRn pin logic low), the
opposite FETs are turned on; as the winding current approaches zero, the bridge is disabled to prevent any
reverse current flow. If SRn is high, current is recirculated through the body diodes, or through external Schottky
diodes. Fast-decay mode is shown in Figure 7, Item 2.
In slow-decay mode, winding current is recirculated by enabling both of the low-side FETs in the bridge. This is
shown in Figure 7, Item 3.

The DRV8811 device also supports a mixed decay mode. Mixed decay mode begins as fast decay, but after a
period of time switches to slow decay mode for the remainder of the fixed off-time.
Fast and mixed decay modes are only active if the current through the winding is decreasing; if the current is
increasing, then slow decay is always used.
Which decay mode is used is selected by the voltage on the DECAY pin. If the voltage is greater than 0.6 × VCC,
slow decay mode is always used. If DECAY is less than 0.21 × VCC, the device operates in fast decay mode
when the current through the winding is decreasing. If the voltage is between these levels, mixed decay mode is
enabled.
In mixed decay mode, the voltage on the DECAY pin sets the point in the cycle that the change to slow decay
mode occurs. This time can be approximated by:

edge of the STEP input, the indexer travels to the next state in the table. The direction is shown with the DIR pin
high; if the DIR pin is low the sequence is reversed. Positive current is defined as xOUT1 = positive with respect
to xOUT2.
Note that the home state is 45 degrees. This state is entered at power up or device reset. The HOMEn output pin
is driven low in this state. In all other states it is driven logic high.

7.3.5 Protection Circuits
7.3.5.1 Overcurrent Protection (OCP)
If the current through any FET exceeds the preset overcurrent threshold, all FETs in the H-bridge are disabled
until the ENABLEn pin has been brought high and then back low, or power is removed and re-applied.
Overcurrent conditions are sensed in both directions; that is, any short to ground, supply, or across the motor
winding results in an overcurrent shutdown.
Note that overcurrent protection does not use the current-sense circuitry used for PWM current control and is
independent of the ISENSE resistor value or VVREF voltage. Additionally, in the case of an overcurrent event, the
microstepping indexer is reset to the home state.
7.3.5.2 Thermal Shutdown (TSD)
If the die temperature exceeds safe limits, all drivers in the device are shut down and the indexer is reset to the
home state. Once the die temperature has fallen to a safe level, operation resumes.
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 circuitry in the
device is disabled and the indexer is reset to the home state. Operation resumes when VM rises above the
UVLO threshold.

7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 RESETn, ENABLEn and SLEEPn Operation
The RESETn pin, when driven low, resets the indexer to the home position shown in Table 2. It also disables the
H-bridge drivers. The STEP input is ignored while RESETn is active.
The ENABLEn pin is used to control the output drivers. When ENABLEn is low, the output H-bridges are
enabled. When ENABLEn is high, the H-bridges are disabled and the outputs are in a high-impedance state.
Note that when ENABLEn is high, the input pins and control logic, including the indexer (STEP and DIR pins) are
still functional.
The SLEEPn pin is used to put the device into a low-power state. If SLEEPn is low, 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 the SLEEPn pin returns high.

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.2.1 Stepper Motor Speed
The first step in configuring the DRV8811 device requires the desired motor speed and microstepping level. If the
target application requires a constant speed, then a square wave with frequency ƒstep must be applied to the
STEP pin.
If the target motor start-up speed is too high, the motor does not spin. Make sure that the motor can support the
target speed, or implement an acceleration profile to bring the motor up to speed.

θstep can be found in the stepper motor data sheet or written on the motor itself.
For the DRV8811 device, the microstepping level is set by the USMx pins. Higher microstepping means a
smother motor motion and less audible noise, but increases switching losses and require a higher fstep to achieve
the same motor speed.
8.2.2.2 Current Regulation
In a stepper motor, the set full-scale current (IFS) is the maximum current driven through either winding. This
quantity depends on the VVREF analog voltage and the sense resistor value (RSENSE). During stepping, IFS defines
the current chopping threshold (ITRIP) for the maximum current step. The gain of DRV8811 device is set for
8 V/V.

(7)
To achieve IFS = 1.25 A with RSENSE of 0.1 Ω, VVREF should be 1 V.
8.2.2.3 Decay Modes
The DRV8811 device supports three different decay modes: slow decay, fast decay, and mixed decay. The
current through the motor windings is regulated using a fixed off-time scheme.

This means that the current increases until it reaches the current chopping threshold (ITRIP), after which it enters
the configured decay mode for a fixed period of time. The cycle then repeats after the decay period expires.
The blanking time tBLANK defines the minimum drive time for the current chopping. ITRIP is ignored during tBLANK,
so the winding current may overshoot the trip level.

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 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 device data sheet generally provides a recommended value, but system-level testing is required to
determine the appropriate sized bulk capacitor.

10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
The VMA and VMB pins 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 VMA and VMB pins
as possible with a thick trace or ground plane connection to the device GND pin.
The VMA and VMB pins must be bypassed to ground using an appropriate bulk capacitor. This component may
be an electrolytic and should be located close to the DRV8811 device.
A low-ESR ceramic capacitor must be placed between the CP1 and CP2 pins. TI recommends a value of
0.22 μF rated for VM. Place this component as close to the pins as possible.
A low-ESR ceramic capacitor must be placed between the VM and VCP pins. TI recommends a value of 0.22 μF
rated for 16 V. Place this component as close to the pins as possible.
Ensure proper connection of the DRV8811 thermal pad to the PCB. The thermal pad should be connected to a
copper plane that is connected to GND. The copper plane should have a large area to allow for thermal
dissipation from the DRV8811 device.

10.3 Thermal Information
The DRV8811 device has thermal shutdown (TSD) as described in Thermal Shutdown (TSD). If the die
temperature exceeds approximately 150°C, the device is disabled 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 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, see TI Application Report SLMA002, PowerPAD™ Thermally
Enhanced Package and TI Application Brief SLMA004, PowerPAD™ Made Easy, available at www.ti.com.
PD - Max Power Dissipation - Watts
In general, the more copper area that can be provided, the more power can be dissipated. Figure 18 shows
thermal resistance vs copper plane area for a single-sided PCB with 2-oz. copper heatsink area. It can be seen
that the heatsink effectiveness increases rapidly to about 20 cm2, then levels off somewhat for larger areas.

10.4 Power Dissipation
Power dissipation in the DRV8811 device is dominated by the power dissipated in the output FET resistance, or
rDS(on). Average power dissipation when running a stepper motor can be roughly estimated by:
PTOT = 4 × rDS(on) × (IOUT(RMS))2
(8)
where PTOT is the total power dissipation, rDS(on) is the resistance of each FET, and IOUT(RMS) is the RMS output
current being applied to each winding. IOUT(RMS) is equal to the approximately 0.7× the full-scale output current
setting. The factor of 4 comes from the fact that there are two motor windings, and at any instant two FETs are
conducting winding current for each winding (one high-side and one low-side).
The maximum amount of power that can be dissipated in the DRV8811 device is dependent on ambient
temperature and heatsinking. Figure 15 and Figure 16 show how the maximum allowable power dissipation
varies according to temperature and PCB construction. Figure 15 shows data for a JEDEC 2-layer low-K board
with 2-oz. copper, 76 mm × 114 mm × 1.6 mm thick, with either no backside copper or a 24 cm2 copper area on
the backside. Similarly, Figure 16 shows data for a JEDEC 4-layer high-K board with 1-oz. copper, 76 mm × 114
mm × 1.6 mm thick, and a solid internal ground plane. In this case, the thermal pad is tied to the ground plane
using thermal vias, and no additional outer layer copper.
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. See Figure 17.
