DRV8434A: configuration issue

Part Number: DRV8434A

Hi Team,

1) M0 and M1 have Hi-Z inputs. Can this Pin float be interpreted as representing Hi-Z state? How to set up GPIOs if using monotholic GPIOs for control? Just with an open-drain output?

2) Other motor drive ICs have 1/10,1/20 classification. Can this IC set such classification? 

Could you help check this case? Thanks.

Best Regards,

Cherry

  • Hey Cherry,

    Yes, you should be able to set the microcontroller GPIO pin as an INPUT to achieve the Hi-Z state.  You can confirm by measuring the voltage on M0/M1 should be 2V when hi-Z.  

    2) Other motor drive ICs have 1/10,1/20 classification. Can this IC set such classification? 

    What is this classification in regards to?  EMC, temperature, reliability, size, etc? You can see our Quality, Reliability, and Packaging data here:  https://www.ti.com/quality-reliability-packaging-download/
