DRV8426: Motor no have Tourque. How Can I Check?

Part Number: DRV8426
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DRV8711,

Hi, support team

My customer has the questions as follow:

Until last year I use DRV8711. But I can't buy DRV8711 Chip.
So I change DRV8711 -> DRV8426

As U see Mode is 0 So Full Step.
TOff also 0, Decay0, Decay1 also 0 mean to GND.
and Enable signal to 0 from STM32F103 CPU
Sleep signal also 0 form STM32F103 CPU.
But Step motor is free (no have tourque)
and I Check Enable Sleep
                       0          0 
                       0          1
                      1           0
                      1           1
All same...(no have tourque)
How Can I check my DRV8711?
Thanks so much.

Best regards,
Yuki

  • Yuki,

    Are you connecting DVDD pin to external 3.3V supply?  This is an internal regulator of the DRV8426.  It is an output of 5V and should just be bypassed to GND with a capacitor.

    I think that might be your problem.
