3 Description
The DRV8711 device is a stepper motor controller
that uses external N-channel MOSFETs to drive a
bipolar stepper motor or two brushed DC motors. A
microstepping indexer is integrated, which is capable
of step modes from full step to 1/256-step.
An ultra-smooth motion profile can be achieved using
adaptive blanking time and various current decay
modes, including an auto-mixed decay mode. Motor
stall is reported with an optional back-EMF output.
A simple step/direction or PWM interface allows easy
interfacing to controller circuits. A SPI serial interface
is used to program the device operation. Output
current (torque), step mode, decay mode, and stall
detection functions are all programmable through a
SPI serial interface.
Internal shutdown functions are provided for
overcurrent protection, short-circuit protection,
undervoltage lockout, and overtemperature. Fault
conditions are indicated through a FAULTn pin, and
each fault condition is reported through a dedicated
bit through SPI.
The DRV8711 is packaged in a PowerPAD™ 38-pin
HTSSOP package with thermal pad (Eco-friendly:
RoHS and no Sb/Br).
