DRV8329: Use with Low Inductance Motor

Part Number: DRV8329

Does the DRV8329 have the capability to directly drive a low inductance motor (~20 uH)? If not, is there a graceful workaround to be able to solve this issue, beyond adding extra inductors to increase the load inductance?

Thanks in advance.

  • Hi Brian, 

    As long as the PWM frequency of the driver is kept high enough to minimize current ripple while balancing power losses, the DRV8329 should be able to drive a 20uH low inductance motor. The recommended max PWM frequency is 200kH, but I would caution to calculate the necessary parameters/requirements for your motor first.

    Let me know if I can provide any additional info or clarity.

    Best Regards,
