DRV8837: back-electromotive force during controling the motor

Part Number: DRV8837

Dear Technical Support Team,

 

Does DRV8837 need external circuit to take measure for back-electromotive force during controlling the motor?

I think that FET body diode configuring H bridge affects for back-electromotive force, so external circuit is not need.

 

Best Regards,

  • Hi ttd,

    The DRV8837 does not need external circuitry for normal operation.

    Additional circuitry may be required if VM exceeds the absolute maximum rating. Examples of additional circuitry are larger capacitance or a TVS clamp.
