DRV8836 Dual Low-Voltage H-Bridge IC
1 Features
3 Description
•
The DRV8836 provides an integrated motor driver
solution for cameras, consumer products, toys, and
other low-voltage or battery-powered motion control
applications. The device has two H-bridge drivers,
and can drive two DC motors or one stepper motor,
as well as other devices like solenoids. The output
driver block for each consists of N-channel power
MOSFET configured as an H-bridge to drive the
motor winding. An internal charge pump generates
gate drive voltages.

The DRV8836 supplies up to 1.5-A of output current
per H-bridge. It operates on a power supply voltage
from 2 V to 7 V.
PHASE/ENABLE and IN/IN interfaces can be
selected which are compatible with industry-standard
devices. A low-power sleep mode is provided which
turns off all unnecessary logic to provide a very low
current state.
Internal shutdown functions are provided for
overcurrent protection, short-circuit protection,
undervoltage lockout, and overtemperature.
The DRV8836 is packaged in a tiny 12-pin WSON
package (Eco-friendly: RoHS and no Sb/Br).

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The DRV8836 is an integrated motor driver solution used for brushed motor control. The device integrates two
H-bridges, and can drive two DC motor or one stepper motor. The output driver block for each H-bridge consists
of N-channel power MOSFETs. An internal charge pump generates the gate drive voltages. Protection features
include overcurrent protection, short-circuit protection, undervoltage lockout, and overtemperature protection.
The bridges connect in parallel for additional current capability.
The mode pin allows selection of either a PHASE/ENABLE or IN/IN interface.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Sleep Mode
If the nSLEEP pin enters a logic-low state, the DRV8836 enters a low-power sleep mode. In this state all
unnecessary internal circuitry is powered down.
7.3.2 Power Supplies and Input Pins
There is a weak pulldown resistor (approximately 100 kΩ) to ground on the input pins.
7.3.3 Protection Circuits
The DRV8836 is fully protected against undervoltage, overcurrent, and overtemperature events.
7.3.3.1 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 disable. After approximately
1 ms, the bridge re-enables automatically.
Overcurrent conditions on both high and low side devices, like a short to ground, supply, or across the motor
winding results in an overcurrent shutdown.
7.3.3.2 Thermal Shutdown (TSD)
If the die temperature exceeds safe limits, all FETs in the H-bridge disable. Once the die temperature has fallen
to a safe level operation automatically resumes.
7.3.3.3 Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
If at any time the voltage on the VCC pins falls below the undervoltage lockout threshold voltage, all circuitry in
the device disables, and internal logic resets. Operation resumes when VCC rises above the UVLO threshold.

7.4.1 Bridge Control
Two control modes are available in the DRV8836: IN/IN mode and PHASE/ENABLE mode. IN/IN mode is
selected if the MODE pin is driven low or left unconnected; PHASE/ENABLE mode is selected if the MODE pin is
driven to logic high. The following tables show the logic for these modes.

8 Application and Implementation
NOTE
The information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
The DRV8836 is used in one or two motor control applications. When configured in parallel, the DRV8836
provides double the current to one motor.
8.2 Typical Application
The two H-bridges in the DRV8836 can be connected in parallel for double the current of a single H-bridge.
Figure 5 shows the connections.
The following design is a common application of the DRV8836.

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The following design procedure can be used to configure the DRV8836 in a brushed motor application.
8.2.2.1 Motor Voltage
The appropriate motor voltage depends on the ratings of the motor selected and the desired 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.
8.2.2.2 Low-Power Operation
When entering sleep mode, TI recommends setting all inputs as a logic low to minimize system power.
8.2.3 Application Curve
The following scope captures motor startup as VCC ramps from 0 V to 6 V. Channel 1 is VCC, and Channel 4 is
the motor current of an unloaded motor during startup. The motor used is a NMB Technologies Corporation
OOB7PA12C, PPN7PA12C1. As VCC ramps the current in the motor increases until the motor speed builds up.
The motor current then reduces for normal operation.
Inputs are set as follows:
• Mode: IN/IN
• AIN1: High
• AIN2: Low

9 Power Supply Recommendations
9.1 Bulk Capacitance
The appropriate local bulk capacitance is an important factor in motor drive system design. More bulk
capacitance is generally beneficial but may increase costs 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’s 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 motor drive system limits the rate current changes 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 datasheet provides a recommended value, but system-level testing is required to determine the appropriate
sized bulk capacitor.

10.1 Layout Guidelines
The VCC pin should be bypassed to GND using low-ESR ceramic bypass capacitors with a recommended value
of 0.1-μF rated for VCC. This capacitor should be placed as close to the VCC pin as possible with a thick trace
or ground plane connection to the device GND pin.
The VCC pin must bypass to ground using an appropriate bulk capacitor. This component may be an electrolytic
and should be located close to the DRV8836.

10.3 Thermal Considerations
The DRV8836 has thermal shutdown (TSD) as described in Thermal Shutdown (TSD). If the die temperature
exceeds approximately 150°C, the device disables 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 an ambient temperature that is too high.
10.3.1 Power Dissipation
The power dissipated in the output FET resistance or RDS(on) dominates the power dissipation in the DRV8836.
The average power dissipation when running both H-bridges can be roughly estimated by Equation 1:
PTOT = 2 × RDS(ON) × (IOUT(RMS))2
where
•
PTOT is the total power dissipation, RDS(ON) is the resistance of the HS plus LS FETs, and IOUT(RMS) is the RMS
output current being applied to each winding. IOUT(RMS) is equal to approximately 0.7× the full-scale output
current setting. The factor of 2 comes from the fact that there are two H-bridges.

The maximum amount of power dissipated in the device is dependent on ambient temperature and heatsinking.

Thermal Considerations (continued)
NOTE
RDS(ON) increases with temperature. As the device heats, the power dissipation increases.
This must be taken into consideration when sizing the heatsink.
10.3.2 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 more information on PCB design, 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.
