3 Description
The DRV8833C provides a dual-bridge motor driver
solution for toys, printers, and other mechatronic
applications.
The device has two H-bridges and can drive two DC
brushed motors, a bipolar stepper motor, solenoids,
or other inductive loads.
Each H-bridge output consists of a pair of N-channel
and P-channel MOSFETs, with circuitry that regulates
the winding current. With proper PCB design, each Hbridge of the DRV8833C can drive up to 700-mA
RMS (or DC) continuously, at 25°C with a VM supply
of 5 V. The device can support peak currents of up to
1 A per bridge. Current capability is reduced slightly
at lower VM voltages.
Internal shutdown functions with a fault output pin are
provided for overcurrent protection, short-circuit
protection, UVLO, and overtemperature. A low-power
sleep mode is also provided.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The DRV8833C device is an integrated motor driver solution for brushed DC or bipolar stepper motors. The
device integrates two PMOS + NMOS H-bridges and current regulation circuitry. The DRV8833C can be
powered with a supply voltage from 2.7 to 10.8 V and can provide an output current up to 700 mA RMS.
A simple PWM interface allows easy interfacing to the controller circuit.
The current regulation is a 20-µs fixed off-time slow decay.
The device includes a low-power sleep mode, which lets the system save power when not driving the motor.

The AIN1 and AIN2 input pins control the state of the AOUT1 and AOUT2 outputs; similarly, the BIN1 and BIN2
input pins control the state of the BOUT1 and BOUT2 outputs (see Table 1).

The inputs can also be used for PWM control of the motor speed. When controlling a winding with PWM and the
drive current is interrupted, the inductive nature of the motor requires that the current must continue to flow
(called recirculation current). To handle this recirculation current, the H-bridge can operate in two different states,
fast decay or slow decay. In fast-decay mode, the H-bridge is disabled and recirculation current flows through the
body diodes. In slow-decay mode, the motor winding is shorted by enabling both low-side FETs.
To externally pulse-width modulate the bridge in fast-decay mode, the PWM signal is applied to one xIN pin while
the other is held low; to use slow-decay mode, one xIN pin is held high. See Table 2 for more information.

7.3.3 Current Control
The current through the motor windings may be limited, or controlled, by a 20-µs constant off-time PWM current
regulation, or current chopping. 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 at all times.
When an H-bridge is enabled, current rises through the winding at a rate dependent on the DC voltage and
inductance of the winding. If the current reaches the current chopping threshold, the bridge disables the current
until the beginning of the next PWM cycle. Note that immediately after the output is enabled, the voltage on the
xISEN pin is ignored for a fixed period of time before enabling the current sense circuitry. This blanking time is
fixed at 3.75 μs.
The PWM chopping current is set by a comparator that compares the voltage across a current sense resistor
connected to the xISEN pins with a reference voltage. The reference voltage, VTRIP, is is fixed at 200 mV
nominally.
The chopping current is calculated as in Equation 1.

R XISEN

Example: If a 1-Ω sense resistor is used, the chopping current will be 200 mV / 1 Ω = 200 mA.

NOTE
If current control is not needed, the xISEN pins should be connected directly to ground.
7.3.4 Decay Mode
After the chopping current threshold is reached, the H-bridge switches to slow-decay mode. This state is held for
toff (20 µs) until the next cycle to turn on the high-side MOSFETs.
7.3.5 Slow Decay
xOUT1
xIN2
xIN1
In slow-decay mode, the high-side MOSFETs are turned off and both of the low-side MOSFETs are turned on.
The motor current decreases while flowing in the two low-side MOSFETs until reaching its fixed off time (typically
20 µs). After that, the high-side MOSFETs are enabled to increase the winding current again.

Figure 8. Current Chopping Operation
7.3.6 Sleep Mode
Driving nSLEEP low puts the device into a low-power sleep state. In this state, the H-bridges are disabled, all
internal logic is reset, and all internal clocks are stopped. All inputs are ignored until nSLEEP returns inactive
high. When returning from sleep mode, some time, tWAKE, needs to pass before the motor driver becomes fully
operational. To make the board design simple, the nSLEEP can be pulled up to the supply (VM). TI recommends
to use a pullup resistor when this is done. This resistor limits the current to the input in case VM is higher than 6.5
V. Internally, the nSLEEP pin has a 500-kΩ resistor to GND. It also has a clamping Zener diode that clamps the
voltage at the pin at 6.5 V. Currents greater than 250 µA can cause damage to the input structure. Therefore, TI
recommends a pullup resistor between 20 to 75 kΩ.

7.3.7 Parallel Mode
The two H-bridges in the DRV8833C can be connected in parallel for double the current of a single H-bridge. The
internal dead time in the DRV8833C prevents any risk of cross-conduction (shoot-through) between the two
bridges due to timing differences between the two bridges. Figure 9 shows the connections.

7.3.8 Protection Circuits
The DRV8833C is fully protected against overcurrent, overtemperature, and undervoltage events.
7.3.8.1 Overcurrent Protection (OCP)
An analog current limit (IOCP) circuit on each FET limits the current through the FET by limiting the gate drive. If
this analog current limit persists for longer than the OCP deglitch time (tDEG), all FETs in the H-bridge are
disabled and the nFAULT pin is driven low. The driver is re-enabled after the OCP retry period (tOCP) has passed.
nFAULT becomes high again after the retry time. If the fault condition is still present, the cycle repeats. If the
fault is no longer present, normal operation resumes and nFAULT remains deasserted. Note that only the Hbridge in which the OCP is detected will be disabled while the other bridge functions normally.
Overcurrent conditions are detected independently on both high-side and low-side devices; a short to ground,
supply, or across the motor winding all result in an overcurrent shutdown. Note that overcurrent protection does
not use the current sense circuitry used for PWM current control, so it functions even without presence of the
xISEN resistors.
7.3.8.2 Thermal Shutdown (TSD)
If the die temperature exceeds safe limits, all FETs in the H-bridge are disabled and the nFAULT pin is driven
low. After the die temperature has fallen below the specified hysteresis (THYS), operation automatically resumes.
The nFAULT pin is released after operation has resumed.
7.3.8.3 UVLO
If at any time the voltage on the VM pin falls below the UVLO threshold voltage, VUVLO, all circuitry in the device is
disabled, and all internal logic is reset. Operation resumes when VM rises above the UVLO threshold. The
nFAULT pin is not driven low during an undervoltage condition.

7.4 Device Functional Modes
The DRV8833C is active unless the nSLEEP pin is brought logic low. In sleep mode, the H-bridge FETs are
disabled (Hi-Z). Note that tSLEEP must elapse after a falling edge on the nSLEEP pin before the device is in sleep
mode. The DRV8833C is brought out of sleep mode automatically if nSLEEP is brought logic high. Note that
tWAKE must elapse before the outputs change state after wake-up.

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.2.1 Stepper Motor Speed
The first step in configuring the DRV8833C requires the desired motor speed and stepping level. The DRV8833C
can support full- and half-stepping modes using the PWM interface.
If the target motor speed is too high, the motor does not spin. Ensure that the motor can support the target
speed.

ICHOP is set by a comparator which compares the voltage across RXISEN to a reference voltage. Note that ICHOP
must follow Equation 4 to avoid saturating the motor.

A.
Channel 1 is the AIN1 input PWM signal, and channel 2 is the AIN2 input PWM signal. BIN1 and BIN2 follow the
same pattern, but are shifted by 90° from AIN1 and AIN2 as shown in Figure 11. Channel 4 is the output current in
the direction AOUT1 → AOUT2. In forward and reverse drive, the current rises until it hits the current chopping limit of
200 mA, and is regulated at that level with fixed-off time current chopping.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The DRV8833C is designed to operate from an input voltage supply (VM) range between 2.7 to 10.8 V. A 10-µF
ceramic capacitor rated for VM must be placed as close to the DRV8833C as possible.
9.1 Sizing Bulk Capacitance for Motor Drive Systems
Bulk capacitance sizing is an important factor in motor drive system design. It depends on a variety of factors
including:
• Type of power supply
• Acceptable supply voltage ripple
• Parasitic inductance in the power supply wiring
• Type of motor (brushed DC, brushless DC, stepper)
• Motor startup current
• Motor braking method
The inductance between the power supply and 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. Size the bulk capacitance to meet acceptable voltage ripple
levels.
The 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
Bypass the VM terminal to GND using a low-ESR ceramic bypass capacitor with a recommended value of 10 µF
rated for VM. This capacitor should be placed as close to the VM pin as possible with a thick trace or ground
plane connection to the device GND pin and PowerPAD.
Bypass VINT to ground with a ceramic capacitor rated 6.3 V. Place this bypassing capacitor as close to the pin
as possible.
