DRV8834: PPAD and GND

Part Number: DRV8834
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DRV8844

Hi all,

At this device's EVM that PPAD and GND connected near.

Another motor driver's PPAD and logic-GND does not connected to near.

Can you recommend PPAD connect to near the GND-pin?

Regards,

ACGUY

  • Hi ACGUY,

    The EVMs typically connect the GNDs close to the PPAD. Connecting the PPAD near the GND pin reduces the voltage difference between the PPAD and GND.

    One exception is the DRV8844, which can be used as a dual supply EVM.
