DRV8912-Q1: Evaluation of DRV8912 Control Process

Part Number: DRV8912-Q1

Tool/software:

Hi team,

I am considering using the DRV8912 to control a relay. After reviewing the datasheet for the driver, I have outlined the control process and fault recovery in the diagram below. I would greatly appreciate it if you could kindly provide your evaluation and feedback.

Thank you and best regard,

  • Hi Quang,

    Your state machine looks good, I don't see anything that would need to be added or changed. 

    I am interested in the selection for the DRV8912, are you driving multiple relays for this device or are you paralleling the outputs for higher total current output? If you are using this device so that you can tie multiple outputs together for higher current would you mind sharing the total expected current output, maybe I could recommend a better solution?

    Regards,

    Joshua
