3 Description
The DRV8935 provides four half-bridge drivers for
industrial applications. The device can be used for
driving up to four solenoid loads, two DC motors, one
Stepper motor, or other loads. The output stage for
each channel consists of N-channel power MOSFETs
configured in a half bridge. A simple PWM interface
allows easy interface with the controller.
The DRV8935 operates off a single power supply and
supports a wide input supply range from 4.5 V to 33 V.
The DRV8935 can supply up to 2.5-A peak or 1.75-A
RMS output current per channel (dependent on PCB
design).
A low-power sleep mode is provided to achieve a
low quiescent current draw by shutting down much
of the internal circuitry. Internal protection functions
are provided for undervoltage-lockout, overcurrent
protection on each FET, short circuit protection, and
overtemperature. Fault conditions are indicated by the
nFAULT pin.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The DRV8935 integrates four 2.5-A half-H bridges for industrial applications. The device supports a wide 4.5-V
to 33-V supply voltage and can drive up to four solenoid loads.
A simple PWM interface option allows easy interfacing to the outputs. The trip point for current regulation is
controlled by the value of the VREF pin voltage. The PWM off-time, tOFF, can be adjusted to 7, 16, 24, or 32 μs.
A low-power sleep mode is included which lets the system save power when not driving the load.
A variety of integrated protection features protect the device in the case of a system fault. These
include undervoltage lockout (UVLO), charge pump undervoltage (CPUV), overcurrent protection (OCP), and
overtemperature shutdown (TSD). Fault conditions are indicated on the nFAULT pin.

7.3.1 Bridge Control and Current Regulation

When an output load is connected to the VM supply, the load current can be regulated to the ITRIP level. The
ITRIP current level for OUT1 and OUT2 outputs is controlled by the VREF12 pin, and the ITRIP level for OUT3
and OUT4 outputs is controlled by the VREF34 pin. The ITRIP current (ITRIP) can be calculated as ITRIP (A) =
VREF (V) / 1.32 (V/A). The VREF voltage can be programmed by connecting resistor dividers from DVDD pin to
ground. Both VREF pins can be tied together to program the same ITRIP current for all four output channels.
The DRV8935 can simultaneously drive four resistive or inductive loads connected to VM supply. With INx = 0,
the low side FET is turned ON till the current increases and hits the ITRIP level. Once the load current equals
ITRIP, the low-side FET is turned OFF and the high-side FET is turned on for a period of off-time determined by
the TOFF pin. After the off-time expires, the low-side FET is again turned ON and the cycle repeats. The OFF
time settings can be changed on the fly. After a OFF time setting change, the new OFF time is applied after a 10
µs de-glitch time.
For resistive loads connected to VM, if the ITRIP is higher than the (VM / RLOAD), the load current is regulated
at VM / RLOAD level while INx = 0. For inductive loads connected to VM, it should be ensured that the current
decays enough every cycle to prevent runaway and triggering overcurrent protection. The different scenarios are
shown below 14

Figure 7-3. Resistive Load Connected to VM, Cycle-by-cycle control, ITRIP is higher than VM/RLOAD.
Figure 7-4. Inductive Load Connected to VM, fixed off-time current chopping
In this scenario, with INx = 0, the high-side MOSFET is turned on for tOFF duration after IOUT exceeds ITRIP.
After tOFF, the low side MOSFET is again turned on till IOUT exceeds ITRIP again. The fixed off-time mode
allows for a simple current chopping scheme without involvement from the external controller. Fixed off-time
mode will support 100% duty cycle current regulation.
Another way of controlling the load current is the cycle-by-cycle control mode, where PWM pulse width of the
INx input pins are controlled. This allows for additional control of the current chopping scheme by the external
controller. For loads connected to VM, when INx = 0, the current through the load builds up; and when INx =
1, the current through the load decays. By properly choosing the duty cycle of the INx pulse, current can be
regulated to a target value. Various such scenarios are shown below -

DRV8935.
Similarly, current through loads connected to ground can be controlled by controlling the INx pin pulse width INx = 1 builds up the current, and INx = 0 decays the current. Two such scenarios are shown below -

7.3.2 Decay Modes
7.3.2.1 Blanking time
After the current is enabled in the low-side FET, the current sense comparator is ignored for a period of time
(tBLANK) before enabling the current-sense circuitry. The blanking time also sets the minimum drive time of the
PWM. The blanking time is approximately 1 µs.
7.3.3 Charge Pump
A charge pump is integrated to supply a high-side N-channel MOSFET gate-drive voltage. The charge pump
requires a capacitor between the VM and VCP pins to act as the storage capacitor. Additionally a ceramic
capacitor is required between the CPH and CPL pins to act as the flying capacitor.

7.3.4 Linear Voltage Regulators
A linear voltage regulator is integrated in the device. The DVDD regulator can be used to provide a reference
voltage. DVDD can supply a maximum of 2 mA load. For proper operation, bypass the DVDD pin to GND using
a ceramic capacitor.
The DVDD output is nominally 5-V. When the DVDD LDO current load exceeds 2 mA, the output voltage drops
significantly.
Figure 7-10. Linear Voltage Regulator Block Diagram
If TOFF must be tied permanently high, tying it to the DVDD pin instead of an external regulator is preferred.
This method saves power when the VM pin is not applied or in sleep mode: the DVDD regulator is disabled
and current does not flow through the input pulldown resistors. For reference, logic level inputs have a typical
pulldown of 200 kΩ.
The nSLEEP pin cannot be tied to DVDD, else the device will never exit sleep mode.

7.3.6 nFAULT Pin
The nFAULT pin has an open-drain output and should be pulled up to a 5-V, 3.3-V or 1.8-V supply. When a
fault is detected, the nFAULT pin will be logic low. nFAULT pin will be high after power-up. For a 5-V pullup, the
nFAULT pin can be tied to the DVDD pin with a resistor. For a 3.3-V or 1.8-V pullup, an external supply must be
used.

7.3.7 Protection Circuits
The devices are fully protected against supply undervoltage, charge pump undervoltage, output overcurrent, and
device overtemperature events.
7.3.7.1 VM Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
If at any time the voltage on the VM pin falls below the UVLO-threshold voltage for the voltage supply, all
the outputs are disabled, and the nFAULT pin is driven low. The charge pump is disabled in this condition.

Normal operation resumes (motor-driver operation and nFAULT released) when the VM undervoltage condition
is removed.
7.3.7.2 VCP Undervoltage Lockout (CPUV)
If at any time the voltage on the VCP pin falls below the CPUV voltage, all the outputs are disabled, and the
nFAULT pin is driven low. The charge pump remains active during this condition. Normal operation resumes
(motor-driver operation and nFAULT released) when the VCP undervoltage condition is removed.
7.3.7.3 Overcurrent Protection (OCP)
An analog current-limit circuit on each FET limits the current through the FET by removing the gate drive. If this
current limit persists for longer than the tOCP time, the half-bridge in which OCP is detected is disabled and the
nFAULT pin is driven low. The charge pump remains active during this condition. Once the OCP condition is
removed, normal operation resumes after applying an nSLEEP reset pulse or a power cycling.
7.3.7.4 Thermal Shutdown (OTSD)
If the die temperature exceeds the thermal shutdown limit (TOTSD) all MOSFETs in the H-bridge are disabled,
and the nFAULT pin is driven low. After the junction temperature falls below the overtemperature threshold limit
minus the hysteresis (TOTSD – THYS_OTSD), normal operation resumes after applying an nSLEEP reset pulse or a
power cycling.

7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Sleep Mode (nSLEEP = 0)
The state of the device is managed by the nSLEEP pin. When the nSLEEP pin is low, the device enters a
low-power sleep mode. In sleep mode, all the internal MOSFETs are disabled and the charge pump is disabled.
The tSLEEP time must elapse after a falling edge on the nSLEEP pin before the device enters sleep mode. The
device is brought out of sleep automatically if the nSLEEP pin is brought high. The tWAKE time must elapse
before the device is ready for inputs.
7.4.2 Operating Mode (nSLEEP = 1)
When the nSLEEP pin is high, and VM > UVLO, the device enters the active mode. The tWAKE time must elapse
before the device is ready for inputs.
7.4.3 nSLEEP Reset Pulse
A fault can be cleared through a quick nSLEEP pulse. This pulse width must be greater than 20 µs and shorter
than 40 µs. If nSLEEP is low for longer than 40 µs but less than 120 µs, the faults are cleared and the device
may or may not shutdown, as shown in the timing diagram. This reset pulse does not affect the status of the
charge pump or other functional blocks.

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.2.1 Current Regulation
When an output load is connected to the VM supply, the load current can be regulated to the ITRIP level. The
ITRIP current level for OUT1 and OUT2 outputs is controlled by the VREF12 pin, and the ITRIP level for OUT3
and OUT4 outputs is controlled by the VREF34 pin. The ITRIP current (ITRIP) can be calculated as ITRIP (A) =
VREF (V) / 1.32 (V/A). The VREF voltage can be programmed by connecting resistor dividers from DVDD pin to
ground. Both VREF pins can be tied together to program the same ITRIP current for all four output channels.
8.2.3 Power Dissipation Calculation and Application Curves
The output current and power dissipation capabilities of the device are heavily dependent on the PCB design
and external system conditions. This section provides some guidelines for calculating these values.
Total power dissipation (PTOT) for the device is composed of three main components. These are the power
MOSFET RDS(ON) (conduction) losses, the power MOSFET switching losses and the quiescent supply current
dissipation. While other factors may contribute additional power losses, these other items are typically
insignificant compared to the three main items.
PTOT = PCOND + PSW + PQ
For loads connected to VM, assuming that all the outputs are loaded with same current, total conduction loss
can be expressed as PCOND = 4 x (IOUT)2 x RDS(ONL)
As the high-side and low-side MOSFETs of the DRV8935 have the same on-resistance, the conduction loss
will be independent of the duty cycle of the input PWM or the amount of PWM off-time. It should be noted
that RDS(ON) has a strong correlation with the device temperature. A curve showing the normalized RDS(ON) with
temperature can be found in the Typical Characteristics curves.
PCOND = 4 x (1.5-A)2 x 0.165-Ω = 1.485-W
PSW can be calculated from the nominal supply voltage (VM), regulated output current (IOUT), switching
frequency (fPWM) and the device output rise (tRISE) and fall (tFALL) time specifications.
Assuming that all the four outputs are switching simultaneously PSW = 4 x (PSW_RISE + PSW_FALL)
PSW_RISE = 0.5 x VM x IOUT x tRISE x fPWM
PSW_FALL = 0.5 x VM x IOUT x tFALL x fPWM
PSW_RISE = 0.5 x 24 V x 1.5 A x 100 ns x 40 kHz = 0.072 W
PSW_FALL = 0.5 x 24 V x 1.5 A x 100 ns x 40 kHz = 0.072 W
PSW = 4 x (0.072W + 0.072W) = 0.576 W
PQ can be calculated from the nominal supply voltage (VM) and the IVM current specification.
PQ = VM x IVM = 24 V x 5 mA = 0.12 W
The total power dissipation (PTOT) is calculated as the sum of conduction loss, switching loss and the quiescent
power loss.
PTOT = PCOND + PSW + PQ = 1.485-W + 0.576-W + 0.12-W = 2.181-W
For an ambient temperature of TA and total power dissipation (PTOT), the junction temperature (TJ) is calculated
as

TJ = TA + (PTOT x RθJA)
Considering a JEDEC standard 4-layer PCB, the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) is 31 °C/W for
the HTSSOP package and 40.7 °C/W for the VQFN package.
Assuming 25°C ambient temperature, the junction temperature for the HTSSOP package is calculated as TJ = 25°C + (2.181-W x 31°C/W) = 92.6 °C
The junction temperature for the VQFN package is calculated as TJ = 25°C + (2.181-W x 40.7°C/W) = 113.8 °C
It should be ensured that the device junction temperature is within the specified operating region.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The device is designed to operate from an input voltage supply (VM) range from 4.5 V to 33 V. A 0.01-µF
ceramic capacitor rated for VM must be placed at each VM pin as close to the device as possible. In addition, a
bulk capacitor must be included on VM.
9.1 Bulk Capacitance
Having 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’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 will limit the rate current can change from the
power supply. If the local bulk capacitance is too small, the system will respond 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 data sheet generally provides a recommended value, but system-level testing is required to determine the
appropriate sized bulk capacitor.
The voltage rating for bulk capacitors should be higher than the operating voltage, to provide margin for cases
when the motor transfers energy to the supply.

10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
The VM pin should be bypassed to PGND using a low-ESR ceramic bypass capacitor with a recommended
value of 0.01 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 PGND pin.
The VM pin must be bypassed to ground using a bulk capacitor rated for VM. This component can be an
electrolytic capacitor.
A low-ESR ceramic capacitor must be placed in between the CPL and CPH pins. A value of 0.022 µF rated for
VM is recommended. Place this component as close to the pins as possible.
A low-ESR ceramic capacitor must be placed in between the VM and VCP pins. A value of 0.22 µF rated for 16
V is recommended. Place this component as close to the pins as possible.
Bypass the DVDD pin to ground with a low-ESR ceramic capacitor. A value of 0.47 µF rated for 6.3 V is
recommended. Place this bypassing capacitor as close to the pin as possible.
The thermal PAD must be connected to system ground.
