DRV8833 2 Channel DC Motor Driver

The DRV8833 is a dual H-bridge motor driver IC designed for bidirectional control of two brushed DC motors. It operates within a voltage range of 2.7 V to 10.8 V and can deliver up to 1.2 A per channel continuously, with peak currents of up to 2 A per channel for short durations. It features built-in current-limiting and reverse battery protection, making it suitable for small motors running on low voltages.

• Exceed Maximum Current Ratings: Avoid exceeding the maximum continuous current rating of 1.2 A per channel or the peak current rating of 2 A per channel to prevent damage to the driver.

• Use Within Specified Voltage Range: Operate the DRV8833 within the voltage range of 2.7 V to 10.8 V to ensure proper functionality.

1.2 A continuous, 2 A peak per channel

2.7 V to 10.8 V

• 1: Connect the motor outputs to the respective terminals of the DC motors or stepper motor.,
• 2: Ensure the input signals are within the compatible voltage levels of 3V and 5V.,
• 3: Implement under-voltage lockout, over-current, and over-temperature protection as needed.,
• 4: Enable current limiting by adding sense resistors if required.
