DRV8436PRGER

Texas Instruments · Stepper Motor Driver · VQFN-24-EP(4x4)

DRV8436PRGER from Texas Instruments, in a VQFN-24-EP(4x4). 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 VM power_in Motor supply input, recommended range 4.5 V to 48 V; bypass with two 0.01 µF ceramic capacitors rated VM, placed close to the pin, plus a bulk capacitor rated above the operating voltage.
2 PGND power_in Power ground; the two PGND pins are internally shorted and must be connected to the system ground on the PCB.
3 AOUT1 output Winding A output connected to the motor winding; continuous phase-node voltage is limited to -1 V to VM + 1 V.
4 AOUT2 output Winding A output connected to the motor winding; continuous phase-node voltage is limited to -1 V to VM + 1 V.
5 BOUT2 output Winding B output connected to the motor winding; continuous phase-node voltage is limited to -1 V to VM + 1 V.
6 BOUT1 output Winding B output connected to the motor winding; continuous phase-node voltage is limited to -1 V to VM + 1 V.
7 PGND power_in Power ground; internally shorted to the other PGND pin and connected to the system ground on the PCB.
8 VM power_in Motor supply input, recommended range 4.5 V to 48 V; bypass to GND with a 0.01 µF ceramic capacitor rated VM close to the pin and share the bulk capacitor.
9 GND power_in Device ground; connect to the system ground.
10 DVDD power_out Internal 5 V logic regulator output, supplying up to 2 mA; bypass to GND with a 0.47 µF X7R ceramic capacitor rated 6.3 V or 10 V.
11 nFAULT output Open-drain fault indicator that is pulled low during a fault and requires an external pull-up resistor; sink current is limited to 10 mA maximum.
12 VREFB input Reference voltage input that sets the full-scale chopping current of bridge B (IFS = VREFB / 2.2 V/A); maximum 3.3 V.
13 VREFA input Reference voltage input that sets the full-scale chopping current of bridge A (IFS = VREFA / 2.2 V/A); maximum 3.3 V.
14 TOFF input Four-level input that sets the PWM off-time: GND = 7 µs, DVDD = 16 µs, high-impedance = 24 µs, 330 kΩ to GND = 32 µs.
15 BDECAY input Four-level input that sets the decay mode of bridge B (smart-tune dynamic, slow, 30% mixed, or fast decay).
16 ADECAY input Four-level input that sets the decay mode of bridge A (smart-tune dynamic, slow, 30% mixed, or fast decay).
17 BIN2 input Bridge B PWM input that controls the H-bridge B state; internal pull-down, logic low maximum 0.6 V and logic high 1.5 V to 5.5 V.
18 BIN1 input Bridge B PWM input that controls the H-bridge B state; internal pull-down, logic low maximum 0.6 V and logic high 1.5 V to 5.5 V.
19 AIN2 input Bridge A PWM input that controls the H-bridge A state; internal pull-down, logic low maximum 0.6 V and logic high 1.5 V to 5.5 V.
20 AIN1 input Bridge A PWM input that controls the H-bridge A state; internal pull-down, logic low maximum 0.6 V and logic high 1.5 V to 5.5 V.
21 nSLEEP input Sleep-mode input: logic high enables the device and logic low places it in low-power sleep; internal pull-down, and it must not be tied to DVDD.
22 CPL passive Charge-pump negative switch node; a 0.022 µF X7R ceramic capacitor rated VM is connected between CPH and CPL.
23 CPH passive Charge-pump switch node; a 0.022 µF X7R ceramic capacitor rated VM is connected between CPH and CPL.
24 VCP power_out Charge-pump output, nominally VM + 5 V; connect a 0.22 µF 16 V X7R ceramic capacitor between VCP and VM.
25 PAD power_in Exposed thermal pad that must be soldered to the PCB and connected to the system ground.
