3 Description
The DRV8952 is a wide-voltage, high-power, fourchannel
half-bridge driver for a wide variety of
industrial applications. The device supports up to 55-V
supply voltage, and integrated MOSFETs with 50 mΩ
on-resistance allow up to 5-A current on each output
with the DDW package; and up to 4-A current per
output with the PWP package.
The device can be used for driving up to four
solenoids or valves, one stepper motor, two brushed-
DC motors, one BLDC or PMSM motor and up to
two thermoelectric coolers (Peltier elements). The
output stage of the device consists of N-channel
power MOSFETs configured as four independent
half-bridges, charge pump regulator, current sensing
and regulation circuits, current sense outputs and
protection circuitry.
Integrated current sensing across the high-side
MOSFETs allows the device to regulate the current
when the load is connected from output to ground. A
current regulation limit can be set with an adjustable
external voltage reference (VREF). With the DDW
package, the device provides four proportional current
output pins, one for each half-bridge high-side FET.
Optional external sense resistors can be connected
from the PGND pins to the system ground.
A low-power sleep mode is provided to achieve ultralow
quiescent current. Internal protection features are
provided for supply undervoltage lockout (UVLO),
charge pump undervoltage (CPUV), output over
current (OCP), and device overtemperature (OTSD).
