TMI8230

TMI · Motor Driver ICs · DFN-8-EP(2x2)

TMI8230 from TMI, in a DFN-8-EP(2x2). 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 driver power supply (1.8V to 11V); connect a 0.1μF ceramic bypass capacitor and a 47μF bulk capacitor to GND.
2 OUT1 output H-bridge motor driver output 1.
3 OUT2 output H-bridge motor driver output 2.
4 GND power_in Ground pin.
5 IN2 input Control logic input 2 with internal pulldown (100kΩ typical).
6 IN1 input Control logic input 1 with internal pulldown (100kΩ typical).
7 EN input Chip enable input; logic low puts the device in low-power sleep mode, logic high gives normal operation, with an internal pulldown resistor to GND.
8 VCC power_in Logic input power supply (1.8V to 7V); connect a 0.1μF ceramic bypass capacitor to GND.
9 EP passive Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table).
