DRV8962-Q1: Sleep mode

Part Number: DRV8962-Q1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DRV8263-Q1

Tool/software:

Hi team,

If the MCU and DRV8962-Q1 are both in sleep mode and the motor is turned manually (e.g. Power Trunk), is there any protection mechanism for the DRV8962-Q1? 

Regards,

Ivy

  • Hi Ivy,

    For this application we recommend to use the DRV8263-Q1 not the DRV8962-Q1. The DRV8263-Q1 has Powered off Braking feature to address such conditions. The DRV8962-Q1 does not have protection mechanism for back driving manual motor movement. Besides the DRV8962-Q1 is 4x half-bridges configuration which is not suitable for bidirectional motor drive. Although it could be used in full-bridge configuration its current regulation works differently and is not suitable for reliable current regulation for all types of motors. We suggest the DRV8263-Q1 for this purpose. 

    What is the end application? Thank you.
