DRV8816PWPR

Texas Instruments · Stepper Motor Driver · HTSSOP-16-EP

DRV8816PWPR from Texas Instruments, in a HTSSOP-16-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 nFAULT output Open-drain fault indication output that is pulled low during fault conditions and requires an external pullup (Table 1 recommends >1 kΩ to VCC); VOL is 0.4 V max at 1 mA sink.
2 EN2 input OUT2 half-bridge enable: logic high enables the output, logic low puts the FETs in Hi-Z; VIH 2 V min, VIL 0.8 V max, internal pulldown.
3 IN1 input OUT1 half-bridge input: logic high enables the high-side FET and logic low enables the low-side FET; VIH 2 V min, VIL 0.8 V max, internal pulldown.
4 GND power_in Device ground, to be connected to system ground (also connected to the PowerPAD).
5 nSLEEP input Pull logic low to put the device into low-power sleep mode; VIH 2.2 V min, VIL 0.8 V max, internal pulldown, and allow 1 ms after returning high before applying PWM.
6 EN1 input OUT1 half-bridge enable: logic high enables the output, logic low puts the FETs in Hi-Z; VIH 2 V min, VIL 0.8 V max, internal pulldown.
7 OUT1 output OUT1 half-bridge output, rated for 2.8 A H-bridge output current with VBB to OUTx limited to 40 V absolute maximum.
8 SENSE output H-bridge low-side connection that must be tied directly to GND or through a low-value sense resistor; the device disables the outputs when SENSE exceeds 500 mV, and V(SENSE) is limited to -0.5 V to 1.0 V.
9 VBB power_in Motor supply input rated 8 V to 38 V, to be bypassed with a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor plus a bulk capacitor rated for at least the VBB voltage.
10 OUT2 output OUT2 half-bridge output, rated for 2.8 A H-bridge output current with VBB to OUTx limited to 40 V absolute maximum.
11 CP1 passive Charge pump switching node; connect a 0.1 µF X7R capacitor rated for VBB between CP1 and CP2, absolute maximum -0.6 V to VBB.
12 CP2 passive Charge pump switching node; connect the 0.1 µF X7R capacitor rated for VBB between CP2 and CP1, absolute maximum -0.6 V to VBB + 7 V.
13 GND power_in Device ground, to be connected to system ground (also connected to the PowerPAD).
14 VCP power_out Charge pump output; connect a 0.1 µF 16 V ceramic capacitor between VCP and VBB to supply the high-side gate drive.
15 VPROPI output Current-proportional output equal to approximately 5× the SENSE voltage, reaching at most 2.5 V and reading 0 V when SENSE is grounded or during brake; absolute maximum 3.6 V, and 100 kΩ to GND is recommended if used.
16 IN2 input OUT2 half-bridge input: logic high enables the high-side FET and logic low enables the low-side FET; VIH 2 V min, VIL 0.8 V max, internal pulldown.
17 EP passive Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table).
