DRV8424PWPR

Texas Instruments · Stepper Motor Driver · HTSSOP-28-EP

DRV8424PWPR from Texas Instruments, in a HTSSOP-28-EP. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 VCP passive Charge pump output; connect 0.22µF 16V ceramic capacitor to VM.
2 VM power_in Motor power supply input, 4.5 to 33V operating range; bypass with two 0.01µF and one bulk ceramic capacitor to PGND.
3 PGND power_in Power ground; connect to system ground.
4 AOUT1 output Motor winding A output, up to 4A peak current; connect to stepper motor winding.
5 AOUT1 output Motor winding A output, up to 4A peak current; connect to stepper motor winding.
6 AOUT2 output Motor winding A output, up to 4A peak current; connect to stepper motor winding.
7 AOUT2 output Motor winding A output, up to 4A peak current; connect to stepper motor winding.
8 BOUT2 output Motor winding B output, up to 4A peak current; connect to stepper motor winding.
9 BOUT2 output Motor winding B output, up to 4A peak current; connect to stepper motor winding.
10 BOUT1 output Motor winding B output, up to 4A peak current; connect to stepper motor winding.
11 BOUT1 output Motor winding B output, up to 4A peak current; connect to stepper motor winding.
12 PGND power_in Power ground; connect to system ground.
13 VM power_in Motor power supply input, 4.5 to 33V operating range; bypass with two 0.01µF and one bulk ceramic capacitor to PGND.
14 GND power_in Device logic ground; connect to system ground.
15 DVDD power_out Internal regulated 5V logic supply output, maximum 2mA load; bypass with 0.47-1µF capacitor to GND.
16 nFAULT tri_state Fault indicator open-drain output, pulled low on fault condition; requires external pull-up resistor.
17 VREF power_in Current reference input, 0.05 to 3.3V (DRV8424); sets full-scale motor current by ITRIP = VREF/1.32.
18 M0 input Microstepping mode select input with internal pull-down; configure with M1 for step mode 1/1 to 1/256.
19 TOFF input PWM off-time four-level input; selects 7µs, 16µs, 24µs, or 32µs chopping time.
20 DECAY1 input Decay mode select input; configure with DECAY0 for slow, mixed, or smart decay modes.
21 DECAY0 input Decay mode select input; configure with DECAY1 for slow, mixed, or smart decay modes.
22 M1 input Microstepping mode select input with internal pull-down; configure with M0 for step mode 1/1 to 1/256.
23 STEP input Step pulse input, rising edge advances stepper one microstep; accepts up to 500kHz with internal pull-down.
24 DIR input Direction control input; logic level selects forward or reverse motor rotation with internal pull-down.
25 ENABLE input Device enable control input; logic low disables outputs, logic high enables, with internal pull-up to DVDD.
26 nSLEEP input Sleep mode control input; logic high enables device, logic low enters 2µA sleep mode with internal pull-down.
27 CPL passive Charge pump switching node low side; connect 0.022µF ceramic capacitor to CPH.
28 CPH passive Charge pump switching node high side; connect 0.022µF ceramic capacitor to CPL.
29 EP passive Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table).
