DESCRIPTION
DRV777 motor driver features 7 low output
impedance drivers that minimize on-chip power
dissipation. DRV777 supports 1.8V to 5V CMOS logic
input interface thus making it compatible to a wide range of micro-controllers and other logic interfaces.
DRV777 features an improved input interface that
minimizes the input DC current drawn from the
external drivers. Device also features an input RC
snubber that greatly improves its performance in noisy operating conditions. All channel inputs feature
an internal input pull-down resistor thus allowing input
logic to be tri-stated. DRV777 also supports other
logic input levels, e.g. TTL and 1.8V; see typical
characteristics section for details.
As shown in the Functional Diagram, each output of
the DRV777 features an internal free-wheeling diode
connected in a common-cathode configuration at the
COM pin.
Device provides flexibility of increasing current sink
capability through combining several adjacent
channels in parallel. Under typical conditions DRV777
can support up to 1.0A of load current when all 7-
channels are connected in parallel. DRV777 is
available in 16-pin SOIC and 16-pin TSSOP
packages.
