3 Description
The DRV8704 is a dual-brushed motor controller for
industrial equipment applications. The device controls
external N-channel MOSFETs configured as two Hbridges.
Motor current can be accurately controlled using
adaptive blanking time and various current decay
modes, including an automatic mixed decay mode.
A simple PWM interface allows easy interfacing to
controller circuits. A SPI serial interface is used to
program the device operation. Output current
(torque), gate drive settings, and decay mode are all
programmable through a SPI serial interface.
Internal shutdown functions are provided for
overcurrent protection, short-circuit protection, gate
driver faults, undervoltage lockout (UVLO), and
overtemperature. Fault conditions are indicated by a
FAULTn pin, and each fault condition is reported by a
dedicated bit through SPI.
The DRV8704 is packaged in a PowerPAD™ 38-pin
HTSSOP package with thermal pad (Eco-friendly:
RoHS & no Sb/Br).
