The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance under natural convection is obtained in a simulation on a JEDEC-standard, high-K board, as
specified in JESD51-7, in an environment described in JESD51-2a.
The junction-to-case (top) thermal resistance is obtained by simulating a cold plate test on the package top. No specific JEDECstandard test exists, but a close description can be found in the ANSI SEMI standard G30-88.
The junction-to-board thermal resistance is obtained by simulating in an environment with a ring cold plate fixture to control the PCB
temperature, as described in JESD51-8.
The junction-to-top characterization parameter, ψJT, estimates the junction temperature of a device in a real system and is extracted
from the simulation data for obtaining θJA, using a procedure described in JESD51-2a (sections 6 and 7).
The junction-to-board characterization parameter, ψJB, estimates the junction temperature of a device in a real system and is extracted
from the simulation data for obtaining θJA , using a procedure described in JESD51-2a (sections 6 and 7).
The junction-to-case (bottom) thermal resistance is obtained by simulating a cold plate test on the exposed (power) pad. No specific
JEDEC standard test exists, but a close description can be found in the ANSI SEMI standard G30-88.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The DRV8824-Q1 is an integrated motor driver solution for bipolar stepper motors. The device integrates two
NMOS H-bridges, current sense and regulation circuitry, and a microstepping indexer. The DRV8824-Q1 can be
powered with a supply voltage between 8.2 V and 45 V, and is capable of providing an output current up to 1.6 A
full-scale or 1.1 A rms.
A simple STEP/DIR interface allows easy interfacing to the controller circuit. The internal indexer is able to
execute high-accuracy microstepping without requiring the processor to control the current level.
The current regulation is highly configurable, with three decay modes of operation. Fast, slow, and mixed decay
can be used.
A low-power sleep mode is included which allows the system to save power when not driving the motor.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 PWM Motor Drivers
The DRV8824-Q1 contains two H-bridge motor drivers with current-control PWM circuitry. A block diagram of the
motor control circuitry is shown in Figure 6.
Figure 6. Motor Control Circuitry
Note that there are multiple VM motor power supply terminals. All VM terminals must be connected together to
the motor supply voltage.

DRV8824-Q1
SLVSCH0 – APRIL 2014

Feature Description (continued)
8.3.2 Current Regulation
The current through the motor windings is regulated by a fixed-frequency PWM current regulation, or current
chopping. When an H-bridge is enabled, current rises through the winding at a rate dependent on the DC voltage
and inductance of the winding. Once the current hits the current chopping threshold, the bridge disables the
current until the beginning of the next PWM cycle.
In stepping motors, current regulation is used to vary the current in the two windings in a semi-sinusoidal fashion
to provide smooth motion.
The PWM chopping current is set by a comparator which compares the voltage across a current sense resistor
connected to the xISEN terminals, multiplied by a factor of 5, with a reference voltage. The reference voltage is
input from the xVREF terminals.
The full-scale (100%) chopping current is calculated in Equation 1.
VREFX
ICHOP = 5¾
· RISENSE
(1)
Example:
If a 0.5-Ω sense resistor is used and the VREFx terminal is 3.3 V, the full-scale (100%) chopping current will
be 3.3 V / (5 x 0.5 Ω) = 1.32 A.
The reference voltage is scaled by an internal DAC that allows fractional stepping of a bipolar stepper motor, as
described in the microstepping indexer section below.
8.3.3 Blanking Time
After the current is enabled in an H-bridge, the voltage on the xISEN terminal is ignored for a fixed period of time
before enabling the current sense circuitry. This blanking time is fixed at 3.75 μs. Note that the blanking time also
sets the minimum on time of the PWM.
8.3.4 Microstepping Indexer
Built-in indexer logic in the DRV8824-Q1 allows a number of different stepping configurations. The MODE0 MODE2 terminals are used to configure the stepping format as shown in .

Table 2 shows the relative current and step directions for different settings of MODEx. At each rising edge of the
STEP input, the indexer travels to the next state in the table. The direction is shown with the DIR terminal high; if
the DIR terminal is low the sequence is reversed. Positive current is defined as xOUT1 = positive with respect to
xOUT2.
Note that if the step mode is changed while stepping, the indexer will advance to the next valid state for the new
MODEx setting at the rising edge of STEP.
The home state is 45°. This state is entered at power-up or application of nRESET. This is shown in Table 2 by
the shaded cells. The logic inputs DIR, STEP, nRESET and MODEx have an internal pulldown resistors of
100 kΩ

8.3.5 nRESET, nENBLE and nSLEEP Operation
The nRESET terminal, when driven active low, resets internal logic, and resets the step table to the home
position. It also disables the H-bridge drivers. The STEP input is ignored while nRESET is active.
The nENBL terminal is used to control the output drivers and enable/disable operation of the indexer. When
nENBL is low, the output H-bridges are enabled, and rising edges on the STEP terminal are recognized. When
nENBL is high, the H-bridges are disabled, the outputs are in a high-impedance state, and the STEP input is
ignored.

DRV8824-Q1
SLVSCH0 – APRIL 2014
www.ti.com
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, the V3P3OUT regulator is disabled, 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 applying a STEP input, to allow the internal circuitry to stabilize.
The nRESET and nENABLE terminals have internal pulldown resistors of 100 kΩ. The nSLEEP terminal has an
internal pulldown resistor of 1 MΩ.
8.3.6 Protection Circuits
The DRV8824-Q1 is fully protected against undervoltage, overcurrent and overtemperature events.
8.3.6.1 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 time, all FETs in the H-bridge will be disabled and the
nFAULT terminal will be driven low. The device will remain disabled until either nRESET terminal is applied, or
VM is removed and re-applied.
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. 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 VREF voltage.
8.3.6.2 Thermal Shutdown (TSD)
If the die temperature exceeds safe limits, all FETs in the H-bridge will be disabled and the nFAULT terminal will
be driven low. Once the die temperature has fallen to a safe level operation will automatically resume.
8.3.6.3 Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
If at any time the voltage on the VM terminals falls below the undervoltage lockout threshold voltage, all circuitry
in the device will be disabled and internal logic will be reset. Operation will resume when VM rises above the
UVLO threshold.
8.3.7 Thermal Information
8.3.7.1 Thermal Protection
The DRV8824-Q1 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.
8.3.7.2 Power Dissipation
Power dissipation in the DRV8824-Q1 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 Equation 2.
PTOT = 4 · RDS(ON) · (IOUT(RMS))
2
(2)
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 0.7x 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 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.

8.3.7.3 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. It can be seen that the
heatsink effectiveness increases rapidly to about 20 cm2, then levels off somewhat for larger areas.
8.4 Device Functional Modes
8.4.1 Decay Mode
During PWM current chopping, the H-bridge is enabled to drive current through the motor winding until the PWM
current chopping threshold is reached. This is shown in Figure 7 as case 1. The current flow direction shown
indicates positive current flow.
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. As the winding current approaches zero, the bridge is
disabled to prevent any reverse current flow. Fast decay mode is shown in Figure 7 as case 2.
In slow decay mode, winding current is re-circulated by enabling both of the low-side FETs in the bridge. This is
shown in Figure 7 as case 3.
Figure 7. Decay Mode
The DRV8824-Q1 supports fast decay, slow decay and a mixed decay mode. Slow, fast, or mixed decay mode is
selected by the state of the DECAY terminal - logic low selects slow decay, open selects mixed decay operation,
and logic high sets fast decay mode. The DECAY terminal has both an internal pullup resistor of approximately
130 kΩ and an internal pulldown resistor of approximately 80 kΩ. This sets the mixed decay mode if the terminal
is left open or undriven.

Device Functional Modes (continued)
Mixed decay mode begins as fast decay, but at a fixed period of time (75% of the PWM cycle) switches to slow
decay mode for the remainder of the fixed PWM period. This occurs only if the current through the winding is
decreasing (per the indexer step table); if the current is increasing, then slow decay is used.

SLVSCH0 – APRIL 2014
9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
9.2.2.1 Stepper Motor Speed
The first step in configuring the DRV8824-Q1 requires the desired motor speed and microstepping level. If the
target application requires a constant speed, then a square wave with frequency fstep must be applied to the
STEP pin.
If the target motor speed is too high, the motor will not spin. Make sure that the motor can support the target
speed.
For a desired motor speed (v), microstepping level (nm), and motor full step angle (θstep),
v(rpm) · nm(steps) · 6
fstep(step/sec) = ¾
qstep(°/step)
(3)
θstep can be found in the stepper motor datasheet or written on the motor itself.
For the DRV8824-Q1, the microstepping level is set by the USM pins and can be any of the settings in . Higher
microstepping will mean a smother motor motion and less audible noise, but will increase switching losses and
require a higher fstep to achieve the same motor speed.
9.2.2.2 Current Regulation
In a stepper motor, the full-scale current (IFS) is the maximum current driven through either winding. This quantity
will depend on the VREF analog voltage and the sense resistor value (RSENSE). During stepping, IFS defines the
current chopping threshold (ITRIP) for the maximum current step.
VREF(V)
VREF(V)
¾
IFS(A) = ¾
=
5 · RSENSE(W)
Av · RSENSE(W)
(4)
IFS is set by a comparator which compares the voltage across RSENSE to a reference voltage. There is a current
sense amplifier built in with programmable gain through ISGAIN. Note that IFS must also follow the equation
below in order to avoid saturating the motor. VM is the motor supply voltage and RL is the motor winding
resistance.
IFS(A) <
VM(V)
¾
RL(W) + 2 · RDS(ON)(W) + RSENSE(W)
(5)
9.2.2.3 Decay Modes
The DRV8824-Q1 supports three different decay modes: slow decay, fast decay, and mixed decay. The current
through the motor windings is regulated using a fixed-frequency PWM scheme. This means that after any drive
phase, when a motor winding current has hit the current chopping threshold (ITRIP), the DRV8824-Q1 will place
the winding in one of the three decay modes until the PWM cycle has expired. Afterwards, a new drive phase
starts.
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.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
The DRV8824-Q1 is designed to operate from an input voltage supply (VM) range between 8.2 V and 45 V. Two
0.01-µF ceramic capacitorS rated for VMA and VMB must be placed as close to the DRV8824-Q1 as possible. In
addition, a bulk capacitor must be included. If VMA and VMB are connected to the same board net, a single bulk
capacitor is sufficient.

11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
The VMA and VMB terminals should be bypassed to GND using low-ESR ceramic bypass capacitors with a
recommended value of 0.01 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 a bulk capacitor. This component may be an
electrolytic. If VMA and VMB are connected to the same board net, a single bulk capacitor is sufficient.
A low-ESR ceramic capacitor must be placed in between the CPL and CPH pins. A value of 0.01 µF rated for
VMA and VMB is recommended. Place this component as close to the pins as possible.
A low-ESR ceramic capacitor must be placed in between the VMA and VCP pins. A value of 0.1 µF rated for 16
V is recommended. Place this component as close to the pins as possible. In addition place a 1-MΩ resistor
between VCP and VMA.
Bypass V3P3 to ground with a ceramic capacitor rated 6.3 V. Place this bypassing capacitor as close to the pin
as possible.
