DESCRIPTION
The DRV8834 provides a flexible motor driver solution for toys, printers, cameras, and other mechatronic
applications. The device has two H-bridge drivers, and is intended to drive a bipolar stepper motor or two DC
motors.
The output driver block of each H-bridge consists of N-channel power MOSFET’s configured as an H-bridge to
drive the motor windings. Each H-bridge includes circuitry to regulate or limit the winding current.
With proper PCB design, each H-bridge of the DRV8834 is capable of driving up to 1.5-A RMS (or DC)
continuously, at 25°C with a VM supply of 5 V. It can support peak currents of up to 2.2 A per bridge. Current
capability is reduced slightly at lower VM voltages.
Internal shutdown functions with a fault output pin are provided for over current protection, short circuit
protection, under voltage lockout and overtemperature. A low-power sleep mode is also provided.
The DRV8834 is packaged in a 24-pin HTSSOP or VQFN package with PowerPAD™ (Eco-friendly: RoHS & no
Sb/Br).

The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance under natural convection is obtained in a simulation on a JEDEC-standard, high-K board, as
specified in JESD51-7, in an environment described in JESD51-2a.
The junction-to-case (top) thermal resistance is obtained by simulating a cold plate test on the package top. No specific JEDECstandard test exists, but a close description can be found in the ANSI SEMI standard G30-88.
The junction-to-board thermal resistance is obtained by simulating in an environment with a ring cold plate fixture to control the PCB
temperature, as described in JESD51-8.
The junction-to-top characterization parameter, ψJT, estimates the junction temperature of a device in a real system and is extracted
from the simulation data for obtaining θJA, using a procedure described in JESD51-2a (sections 6 and 7).
The junction-to-board characterization parameter, ψJB, estimates the junction temperature of a device in a real system and is extracted
from the simulation data for obtaining θJA , using a procedure described in JESD51-2a (sections 6 and 7).
The junction-to-case (bottom) thermal resistance is obtained by simulating a cold plate test on the exposed (power) pad. No specific
JEDEC standard test exists, but a close description can be found in the ANSI SEMI standard G30-88.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Device Configuration
The DRV8834 supports two configurations: phase/enable mode, where the outputs are controlled by phase
(direction) and enable signals for each H-bridge, and indexer mode, which allow control of a stepper motor using
simple step and direction inputs.
DC motors can only be controlled in phase/enable mode; indexer mode is not applicable to DC motors.
Stepper motors can be controlled using either phase/enable lode, or indexer mode.
The device is configured to be controlled either way using CONFIG pin. Logic HIGH on the CONFIG pin puts the
device in the STEP/DIR mode; logic LOW lets the motor to be controlled using the xPHASE/xENBL pins.
The state of the CONFIG pin is latched at power-up, and also whenever exiting sleep mode. CONFIG has an
internal pull-down resistor.
PWM Motor Drivers
DRV8834 contains two identical H-bridge motor drivers with current-control PWM circuitry. A block diagram of the
circuitry is shown below:

Figure 1. Motor Control Circuitry
Current Control
The current through the motor windings may be regulated by a fixed-frequency PWM current regulation, or
current chopping.
With stepping motors, current control is normally used at all times. Often it is used to vary the current in the two
windings in a sinusoidal fashion to provide smooth motion. This is referred to as microstepping. The DRV8834
can provide up to 1/32 step microstepping, using internal 5-bit DACs. Finer microstepping can be implemented
using the xPHASE/xENBL signals to control the stepper motor, and varying the xVREF voltages. The current
flowing through the corresponding H-bridge varies according to the equation given below. A very high degree of
microstepping can be achieved through this technique.
With DC motors, current control can be used to limit the start-up current of the motor to less than the stall current
of the motor.

DRV8834
www.ti.com
SLVSB19A – FEBRUARY 2012 – REVISED MARCH 2012
Current regulation works as follows:
When an H-bridge is enabled, current rises through the winding at a rate dependent on the supply voltage and
inductance of the winding. If the current reaches the current chopping threshold, the bridge disables the current
until the beginning of the next PWM cycle. Note that immediately after the current is enabled, the voltage on the
xISEN pin is ignored for a period of time before enabling the current sense circuitry. This blanking time also sets
the minimum on time of the PWM when operating in current chopping mode.
Note that the blanking time also sets the minimum PWM duty cycle. This can cause current control errors near
the zero current level when microstepping. To help eliminate this error, the DRV8834 has a "dynamic" tBLANK
time. When the commanded current is low, the blanking period is reduced, which in turn lowers the minimum
duty cycle. This provides a smoother current transition across the zero crossing region of the current waveform.
The end result is smoother and quieter motor operation.
The PWM chopping current is set by a comparator which compares the voltage across a current sense resistor
connected to the xISEN pins, with a reference voltage supplied to the AVREF and BVREF pins. In indexer mode,
the reference voltages are scaled by internal DACs to provide scaled currents used to perform microstepping.
The chopping current is calculated as follows:
xVREF
ICHOP = 5¾
· RISENSE
(1)
Example: If xVREF is 2 V (as it would be if xVREF is connected directly to VREFO) and a 400-mΩ sense resistor
is used, the chopping current will be 2 V/5 x 400 mΩ = 1 A.
In indexer mode, this current value is scaled by between 5% and 100% by the internal DACs, as shown in the
step table in the "Microstepping Indexer" section of the datasheet.
Note that if current control is not needed, the xISEN pins may be connected directly to ground. in this case it is
also recommended to connect AVREF and BVREF directly to VREFO.
Current Recirculation and Decay Modes
During PWM current chopping, the H-bridge is enabled to drive current through the motor winding until the PWM
current chopping threshold is reached. This is shown in Figure 2 as case 1. The current flow direction shown
indicates positive current flow in the step table below for indexer mode, or the current flow with xPHASE = 1 in
phase/enable mode.
Once the chopping current threshold is reached, the drive current is interrupted, but due to the inductive nature
of the motor, the current must continue to flow. This is called recirculation current. To handle this recirculation
current, the H-bridge can operate in two different states, fast decay or slow decay.
In fast decay mode, once the PWM chopping current level has been reached, the H-bridge reverses state to
allow winding current to flow in through the opposing FETs. As the winding current approaches zero, the bridge
is disabled to prevent any reverse current flow. Fast decay mode is shown in Figure 2 as case 2.
In slow decay mode, winding current is re-circulated by enabling both of the low-side FETs in the bridge. This is
shown as case 3 below.

Figure 2. Decay Modes
The DRV8834 supports fast, slow, and also mixed decay modes. With DC motors, slow decay is nearly always
used to minimize current ripple and optimize speed control; with stepper motors, the decay mode is chosen for a
given stepper motor and operating conditions to minimize mechanical noise and vibration.
In mixed decay mode, the current recirculation begins as fast decay, but at a fixed period of time (determined by
the state of the xDECAY pins shown in Table 2) switches to slow decay mode for the remainder of the fixed
PWM period.

Figure 3. PWM Cycle
Decay mode is selected by the voltage present on the xDECAY pins. Internal current sources of 10 µA (typical)
are connected to the pins, which allows setting of the decay mode by a resistor connected to ground if desired.
It is possible to drive the xDECAY pin with a tri-state GPIO pin and also place the resistor to ground. This allows
a microcontroller to select fast, slow, or mixed decay modes by driving the pin high, low, or high-impedance.
Note that the logic-low voltage must be less than 0.1 V with 10-µA of current sourced from the DRV8834 to attain
slow decay.
In indexer mode, only the ADECAY pin is used, and slow decay mode is always used when at any point in the
step table where the current is increasing. When current is decreasing or remaining constant, the decay mode
used will be fast, slow, or mixed, as commanded by the ADECAY pin.

Phase/Enable Mode
In phase/enable mode, the xPHASE input pins control the direction of current flow through each H-bridge. This
sets the direction of rotation of a DC motor, or the direction of the current flow in a stepper motor winding. Driving
the xENBL input pins active high enables the H-bridge outputs. This can be used as PWM speed control of a DC
motor, or to enable/disable the current in a stepper motor.
In phase/enable mode, the M1 input pin controls the state of the H-bridges when xENBL = 0. If M1 is high, the
outputs are disabled (high impedance) when xENBL = 0; this corresponds to asynchronous fast decay mode,
and is usually used in stepper motor applications to command a "zero current" state. If M1 is low, then the
outputs are both driven low; this corresponds to slow decay or brake mode, and is usually used when controlling
the speed of a DC motor by PWMing the xENBL pin.

Indexer Mode
To allow a simple step and direction interface to control stepper motors, the DRV8834 contains a microstepping
indexer. The indexer controls the state of the H-bridges automatically. Whenever there's a rising edge at the
STEP input, the indexer moves to the next step, according to the direction set by the DIR pin.
The nENBL pin is used to disable the output stage in indexer mode. When nENBL = 1, the indexer inputs are still
active and will respond to the STEP and DIR input pins; only the output stage is disabled.
The indexer logic in the DRV8834 allows a number of different stepping configurations. The M0 and M1 pins are
used to configure the stepping format as shown in Table 4.

Note that the M0 pin is a tri-level input. It can be driven logic low, logic high, or high-impedance (Z).
The M0 and M1 pins can be statically configured by connecting to VINT, GND, or left open, or can be driven with
standard tri-state microcontroller I/O port pins. Their state is latched at each rising edge of the STEP input.
The step mode may be changed on-the-fly while the motor is moving. The indexer will advance to the next valid
state for the new M0/M1 setting at the next rising edge of STEP.
The home state is 45°. This state is entered after power-up, after exiting undervoltage lockout, or after exiting
sleep mode. This is shown in Table 5 by cells shaded yellow.
The following table shows the relative current and step directions for different step mode settings. At each rising
edge of the STEP input, the indexer travels to the next state in the table. The direction is shown with the DIR pin
high; if the DIR pin is low the sequence is reversed. Positive current is defined as xOUT1 = positive with respect
to xOUT2.

nSLEEP Operation
Driving nSLEEP low will put the device into a low power sleep state. In this state, the H-bridges are disabled, the
gate drive charge pump is stopped, all internal logic is reset (note that this returns the indexer to the home state),
the VINT supply is disabled, and all internal clocks are stopped. All inputs are ignored until nSLEEP returns
inactive high.
Since the VINT supply is disabled during sleep mode, it cannot be used to provide a logic high signal to the
nSLEEP pin. To simplify board design, the nSLEEP can be pulled up directly to the supply (VM) if it is not
actively driven. Unless VM is less than 5.75 V, a pullup resistor is required.
The nSLEEP pin is protected by a zener diode that will clamp the pin voltage to approximately 6.5 V. The pullup
resistor limits the current to the input in case VM is higher than 6.5 V. The recommended pullup resistor is 20 kΩ
- 50 kΩ.

When exiting sleep mode, the nFAULT pin will be briefly driven active low as the internal power supplies turn on.
nFAULT will return to inactive high once the internal power supplies (including charge pump) have stabilized.
This process takes some time (up to 1 ms), before the motor driver becomes fully operational.
Protection Circuits
The DRV8834 is fully protected against undervoltage, overcurrent and overtemperature events.
Overcurrent Protection (OCP)
An analog current limit circuit on each FET limits the current through the FET by limiting the gate drive. If this
analog current limit persists for longer than the OCP deglitch time (tOCP), all FETs in the H-bridge will be disabled
and the nFAULT pin will be driven low. The driver will be re-enabled after the OCP retry period (approximately
1.2 ms) has passed. nFAULT becomes high again at this time. If the fault condition is still present, the cycle
repeats. If the fault is no longer present, normal operation resumes and nFAULT remains deasserted. Please
note that only the H-bridge in which the OCP is detected will be disabled while the other bridge will function
normally.
Overcurrent conditions are detected independently on both high and low side devices; i.e., a short to ground,
supply, or across the motor winding will all result in an overcurrent shutdown. Note that overcurrent protection
does not use the current sense circuitry used for PWM current control, so functions even without presence of the
xISEN resistors.
Thermal Shutdown (TSD)
If the die temperature exceeds safe limits, all FETs in the H-bridge will be disabled and the nFAULT pin will be
driven low. Once the die temperature has fallen to a safe level operation will automatically resume and nFAULT
will become inactive.
Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
If at any time the voltage on the VM pin falls below the undervoltage lockout threshold voltage, all circuitry in the
device will be disabled, and all internal logic will be reset. Operation will resume when VM rises above the UVLO
threshold. The nFAULT pin is driven low during an undervoltage condition, and also at power-up or sleep mode,
until the internal power supplies have stabilized.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The DRV8834 is a very flexible motor driver. It can be used to drive two DC motors or a stepper motor, in a
number of different configurations.
The following applications schematics show various configurations and connections for the DRV8834.
Note that component values, especially for RSENSE and the DECAY pins, may be different depending on your
motor and application. Refer to the information above to determine the best values for these components in your
application.
Phase/Enable Mode Driving Two DC Motors
In this configuration, the DRV8834 is used to drive two independent DC motors. Current up to 1 A per motor is
possible. The M1 pin is pulled low to allow slow decay PWM from the controller (if desired) to control the motor
speed by PWMing the xENBL inputs, and ADECAY and BDECAY are connected to ground to set slow decay
mode during current limiting. The value of the RSENSE resistors shown is for a 1-A current limit; if current
limiting is not needed, the AISEN and BISEN pins may be connected directly to ground. If the sleep function is
not needed, nSLEEP can be connected to VM with an approximate 47-kΩ resistor.

Phase/Enable Mode Driving a Stepper Motor
Phase/enable mode can be used with a simple interface to a controller to operate a stepper motor in full, half, or
quarter step modes. The decay mode can be set by changing the values of the resistors connected to the
ADECAY and BDECAY pins. The M1 pin is driven to logic high (by connecting to the VINT supply), to allow a
zero-current (off) state when the xENBL pin is set low. Coil current is set by the RSENSE resistors. If the sleep
function is not needed, nSLEEP can be connected to VM with an approximate 47-kΩ resistor.

Indexer Mode Driving a Stepper Motor
In indexer mode, only a rising edge on the STEP pin is needed to move the motor to the next step. The DIR pin
sets which direction the motor rotates, by reversing the step sequence. The internal indexer can operate in fullstep, half-step, and smaller microsteps up to 1/32-step, depending on the state of the M0 and M1 pins. The M0
and M1 pins can also be connected directly to ground or to VINT to program the step modes, if desired. If the
sleep function is not needed, nSLEEP can be connected to VM with an approximate 47-kΩ resistor. Step
sequences for full and half step are shown below.

High-Resolution Microstepping Using a Microcontroller to Modulate VREF Signals
Using a microcontroller with two DAC outputs, very high resolution microstepping can be performed with the
DRV8834. In this mode, the coil current direction is controlled by the PHASE pins, and the current in each coil is
independently set using the two VREF input pins, which are connected to DACs. In addition, the microcontroller
can set the decay mode for each coil dynamically, by driving the xDECAY pin low for slow decay, high for fast
decay, or high-impedance which sets mixed decay (based on the value of a resistor connected to ground). If the
sleep function is not needed, nSLEEP can be connected to VM with an approximate 47-kΩ resistor.
For more details on this technique, please refer to TI Application Report (SLVA416), "High Resolution
Microstepping Driver With the DRV88xx Series".

THERMAL INFORMATION
Maximum Output Current
In actual operation, the maximum output current achievable with a motor driver is a function of die temperature.
This in turn is greatly affected by ambient temperature and PCB design. Basically, the maximum motor current
will be the amount of current that results in a power dissipation level that, along with the thermal resistance of the
package and PCB, keeps the die at a low enough temperature to stay out of thermal shutdown.
The thermal data given in the datasheet can be used as a guide to calculate the approximate maximum power
dissipation that can be expected to be possible without entering thermal shutdown for several different PCB
constructions. However, for accurate data, the actual PCB design must be analyzed via measurement or thermal
simulation.
Thermal Protection
The DRV8834 has thermal shutdown (TSD) as described above. If the die temperature exceeds approximately
160°C, the device will be disabled until the temperature drops to a safe level.
Any tendency of the device to enter thermal shutdown is an indication of either excessive power dissipation,
insufficient heatsinking, or too high an ambient temperature.
Power Dissipation
Power dissipation in the DRV8834 is dominated by the DC power dissipated in the output FET resistance, or
RDS(ON). There is additional power dissipated due to PWM switching losses, which are dependent on PWM
frequency, rise and fall times, and VM supply voltages. These switching losses are typically on the order of 10%
to 20% of the DC power dissipation.
The DC power dissipation of one H-bridge can be roughly estimated by Equation 2.
2
2
PTOT = (HS - RDS(ON) · IOUT(RMS) ) + (LS - RDS(ON) · IOUT(RMS) )

where PTOT is the total power dissipation, HS - RDS(ON) is the resistance of the high side FET, LS - RDS(ON) is the
resistance of the low side FET, and IOUT(RMS) is the RMS output current being applied to the motor.
Note that RDS(ON) increases with temperature, so as the device heats, the power dissipation increases. This must
be taken into consideration when sizing the heatsink.
Heatsinking
The PowerPAD™ package uses an exposed pad to remove heat from the device. For proper operation, this pad
must be thermally connected to copper on the PCB to dissipate heat. On a multi-layer PCB with a ground plane,
this can be accomplished by adding a number of vias to connect the thermal pad to the ground plane. On PCBs
without internal planes, copper area can be added on either side of the PCB to dissipate heat. If the copper area
is on the opposite side of the PCB from the device, thermal vias are used to transfer the heat between top and
bottom layers.
For details about how to design the PCB, refer to TI application report SLMA002, " PowerPAD™ Thermally
Enhanced Package" and TI application brief SLMA004, " PowerPAD™ Made Easy", available at www.ti.com.
In general, the more copper area that can be provided, the more power can be dissipated.

Eco Plan - The planned eco-friendly classification: Pb-Free (RoHS), Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt), or Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) - please check http://www.ti.com/productcontent for the latest availability
information and additional product content details.
TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.
Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements for all 6 substances, including the requirement that
lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between
the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above.
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight
in homogeneous material)
