DESCRIPTION
The DRV8402 is a high performance, integrated dual
full bridge motor driver with an advanced protection
system. Because of the low R
DS(on)
and intelligent
gate drive design, the efficiency of this motor driver
can be up to 96%, which enables the use of smaller
power supplies and heatsinks, and is a good
candidate for energy efficient applications. This
device requires two power supplies, one at 12V for
GVDD and VDD, and one up to 50V for PVDD. The
DRV8402 is capable of driving 5 A continuous RMS
current and 12 A peak current per full bridge with low
idle power dissipation. It can also be used for up to
10 A continuous current and 24 A peak current in
parallel full bridge operation.
