Operation Reduces Output Filter Size and Cost
by 50% Compared to DRV591
The DRV593 and DRV594 are high-efficiency,
high-current power amplifiers ideal for driving a wide

information section for more details).
The PWM switching frequency may be set to 500 kHz
or 100 kHz depending on system requirements. To
eliminate external components, the gain is fixed at
2.3 V/V for the DRV593. For the DRV594, the gain is
fixed at 14.5 V/V.
