DRV81008QPWPRQ1

Here’s a concise intro to the TI part DRV81008QPWPRQ1:
- What it is: An automotive-grade motor driver IC from TI (DRV8100x family) designed to drive a brushed DC motor. It includes integrated high-side/low-side MOSFETs to form an H-bridge, plus protection and diagnostic features.
- Key features: protection and fault handling (UVLO, overcurrent, overtemperature, short-circuit to GND/V, fault reporting), current regulation via a sense mechanism, and diagnostic/status outputs. It supports PWM-based speed control and bidirectional motor drive.
- Control interface: typically driven by a couple of logic inputs (IN1/IN2 or equivalent) to set direction and speed, along with an ENABLE/FAULT line for status. Optional current-limit programming via a sense resistor.
- Package/industrial suitability: designed for automotive and industrial use; offered in a RoHS-compliant PWPRQ1 package suitable for compact PCB layouts.
- Applications: DC motor control for automotive actuators (seats, windows, mirrors), robotics, and other actuator systems requiring integrated protection and simple MCU control.
- How to use (high level): power the device from VS, connect the motor to OUT pins, drive the input pins with PWM/direction signals, monitor FAULT, and set the current limit via the sense resistor per datasheet.

Key features of DRV81008QPWPRQ1:
- Automotive-grade (AEC-Q100 qualified) dual full-bridge driver for brushed DC motors with integrated FETs.
- Up to 8 A peak current capability per bridge (continuous current lower; suitable for small to mid-size motors).
- Current regulation (programmable via sense resistor) for smooth motor control.
- Wide operating voltage range appropriate for automotive/industrial DC motors.
- Protection: overcurrent, overvoltage, undervoltage lockout, overtemperature with latch/auto-retry.
- Fault and diagnostic outputs (FAULT and STATUS pins) for monitoring and control.
- PWM-compatible input control with straightforward forward/reverse/brake operation via IN pins.
- Cross-conduction/shoot-through protection and fast protection response.
- RoHS compliant; available in PWPRQ1 automotive packaging.

PW package — TI’s PowerPAD-style (leadless, QFN-like) package.

- Pin count: 28 pins (PW package, part suffix PWPRQ1).
- Function: Automotive-grade dual full-bridge brushed DC motor driver with integrated MOSFETs; provides two independent H-bridges to drive two DC motors (or a 2-phase load/stepper). Includes current-regulation capability and protection features (fault/status outputs, undervoltage/overcurrent/overtemperature protections). Control via standard input pins (IN/PWM interface) per bridge.
