Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life of a device may be impaired.
Note 2: TJ is calculated from the ambient temperature TA and power dissipation PD according to the
following formula: TJ = TA + PD x θJA. The maximum allowable continuous power dissipation at any ambient
temperature is calculated by PD (MAX) = (TJ(MAX)-TA)/θJA.
Note 3: tON applies when the device initially powers up, and when it exits sleep mode.
Note 4: Thermal shutdown threshold and hysteresis are guaranteed by design.
OPERATION
Overview
The TMI8870/B devices are optimized 8-pin devices for driving brushed DC motors with 6.8V to 45 V and up
to 3.6-A peak current. The integrated current regulation restricts motor current to a predefined maximum.
Two logic inputs control the H-bridge driver, which consists of four N-channel MOSFETs that have a typical
RDS(ON) of 0.9Ω (including one high-side and one low-side FET). A single-power input, VM, serves as both
device power and the motor winding bias voltage. The integrated charge pump of the device boosts VM
internally and fully enhances the high-side FETs. Motor speed can be controlled with pulse-width
modulation, at frequencies between 0 to 100kHz. The devices have an integrated sleep mode that is entered
by bringing both inputs low. An assortment of protection features prevents the device from being damaged
if a system fault occurs.
Bridge Control
The TMI8870/B output consists of four N-channel MOSFETs that are designed to drive high current. These
outputs are controlled by the two logic inputs IN1 and IN2 as listed in Table 1.

The inputs can be set to static voltages for 100% duty cycle drive, or they can be pulse-width modulated
(PWM) for variable motor speed. When using PWM, switching between driving and braking typically works
best. For example, to drive a motor forward with 50% of the maximum RPM, IN1 = 1 and IN2 = 0 during the
driving period, and IN1 = 1 and IN2 = 1 during the other period. Alternatively, the coast mode (IN1 = 0, IN2
= 0) for fast current decay is also available. The input pins can be powered before VM is applied.

Sleep Mode
When the IN1 and IN2 pins are both low for time tSLEEP (typically 1 ms), the TMI8870/B device enters a lowpower sleep mode, where the outputs remain High-Z and the device uses IVMSLEEP (µA) of current. If the
device is powered up while both inputs are low, it immediately enters sleep mode. After the IN1 or IN2 pins
are high for at least 5 µs, the device is operational 30 µs (tON) later.
Current Regulation
In TMI8870/B, motor peak current can be limited by the analog reference input VREF and the resistance of
external sense resistor on the ISEN pin according to the below equation:
ITRIP (A)=
VREF (V)
VREF (V)
=
AV × RISEN (Ω) 10 × RISEN (Ω)
VM Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
If at any time the voltage on the VM pin falls below the undervoltage-lockout threshold voltage, all FETs in
the H-bridge will be disabled. Operation resumes when VM rises above the UVLO threshold.
Overcurrent Protection (OCP)
If the output current exceeds the OCP threshold, IOCP, for longer than tOCP, all FETs in the H-bridge are
disabled.
As to TMI8870, after a duration of tRETRY, the H-bridge is re-enabled according to the state of the INx pins. If
the overcurrent fault is still present, the cycle repeats; otherwise normal device operation resumes.
As to TMI8870B, after OCP events, the device is latched and it can only be reset by putting the device into
sleep mode or by restarting the power of VM.
Thermal Shutdown (TSD)
If the die temperature exceeds safe limits, all FETs in the H-bridge are disabled. After the die temperature
has fallen to a safe level, operation automatically resumes.
Device Functional Modes
The TMI8870/B devices can be used in multiple ways to drive a brushed DC motor.
PWM With Current Regulation
This scheme uses all of the capabilities of the device. The ITRIP current is set above the normal operating
current, and high enough to achieve an adequate spin-up time, but low enough to constrain current to a
desired level. Motor speed is controlled by the duty cycle of one of the inputs, while the other input is static.
Brake or slow decay is typically used during the off-time.

TMI8870B
PWM Without Current Regulation
If current regulation is not required, the ISEN pin should be directly connected to the PCB ground plane. The
VREF voltage must still be 0.3V to 5 V, and larger voltages provide greater noise margin. This mode provides
the highest-possible peak current which is up to 3.6 A for a few hundred milliseconds (depending on PCB
characteristics and the ambient temperature). If current exceeds 3.6 A, the device might reach overcurrent
protection (OCP) or overtemperature shutdown (TSD). If that happens, the device disables and protects
itself for about 3ms (tRETRY) and then resumes normal operation.
Static Inputs with Current Regulation
The IN1 and IN2 pins can be set high and low for 100% duty cycle drive, and ITRIP can be used to control the
current of the motor, speed, and torque capability.
VM Control
In some systems, varying VM as a means of changing motor speed is desirable. In application, local bulk
capacitance is needed on VM to GND to stable VM voltage during the operation with motor starts up or
stops. At least a 47μF bulk capacitor with voltage rating of operation voltage is recommended. However,
the system-level testing is required to determine the appropriate size bulk capacitors.
