DRV8838DSGR from Texas Instruments, in a WSON-8-EP(2x2). Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.
Pinout
| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | VM | power_in | Motor power supply input, 0 to 11 V nominal operating range, requires 0.1 µF bypass capacitor to GND. |
| 2 | OUT1 | output | Motor driver H-bridge output, 1.8 A maximum drive current, 280 mΩ FET on-resistance, connects to motor winding. |
| 3 | OUT2 | output | Motor driver H-bridge output, 1.8 A maximum drive current, 280 mΩ FET on-resistance, connects to motor winding. |
| 4 | GND | power_in | Device ground reference, must be connected to system ground for proper operation. |
| 5 | EN | input | Enable control input for H-bridge motor driver, logic threshold 0.46×VCC rising, high enables motor control, low forces brake state. |
| 6 | PH | input | Phase/direction control input for H-bridge motor driver, logic threshold 0.46×VCC rising, combined with EN pin to set motor direction. |
| 7 | nSLEEP | input | Sleep mode control input with 55 kΩ internal pulldown, logic low enables 120 nA maximum sleep mode, logic high enables normal operation. |
| 8 | VCC | power_in | Logic power supply, 1.8 to 7 V nominal operating range, requires 0.1 µF bypass capacitor to GND. |
| 9 | EP | passive | Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table). |
