8 Application and Implementation

NOTE

Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.

8.1 Application Information

The DRV8835 is used in one or two motor control applications. Configure the DRV8835 in parallel to provide double the current to one motor. The following design procedure can be used to configure the DRV8835 in a brushed motor application.

8.2 Typical Application

The two H-bridges in the DRV8835 connect in parallel for double the current of a single H-bridge. Figure 6 shows the connections.

8.2.1 Design Requirements

Table 5 lists the design requirements.

DESIGN PARAMETER REFERENCE VALUE
Motor voltage VCC 4 V
Motor RMS current IRMS 0.3 A
Motor startup current ISTART 0.6 A
Motor current trip point ILIMIT 0.5 A

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure

8.2.2.1 Motor Voltage

The appropriate motor voltage depends on the ratings of the motor selected and the desired RPM. A higher voltage spins a brushed DC motor faster with the same PWM duty cycle applied to the power FETs. A higher voltage also increases the rate of current change through the inductive motor windings.

8.2.2.2 Lower-Power Operation

When entering sleep mode, TI recommends setting all inputs as a logic low to minimize system power.

8.2.3 Application Curve

The following scope captures motor startup as VCC ramps from 0 V to 6 V. Channel 1 is VCC, Channel 2 is VM, and Channel 4 is the motor current of an unloaded motor during startup. The motor used is a NMB Technologies Corporation, PPN7PA12C1. As VCC and VM ramp, the current in the motor increases until the motor speed builds up. The motor current then reduces for normal operation.

Inputs are set as follows:

  • Mode: IN/IN
  • AIN1: High
  • AIN2: Low
