ZHCSOY8B September 2021 – February 2022 DRV8311
PRODUCTION DATA
The DRV8311 can be used to drive Brushed-DC motors and solenoid loads. The following design procedure can be used to configure the DRV8311.
6x PWM mode or 3x PWM mode (with or without current limit) can be used to drive Brushed-DC and/or solenoid loads depending on the application. A Brushed-DC motor can be connected to two OUTx phases to create an integrated full H-bridge configuration to drive the motor in both direction.
Solenoid loads can be connected from OUTx to VM or GND to use the DRV8311 as a push-pull driver in 6x PWM or 3x PWM mode. When the load is connected from OUTx to GND, the HS MOSFET sources current into the solenoid, and the LS MOSFET acts as a recirculation diode to recirculate current from the solenoid. When the load is connected from OUTx to VM, the LS MOSFET sink current from the solenoid to GND, and the HS MOSFET acts as a recirculation diode to recirculate current from the solenoid.
