Hi,
I'd like to know if the DRV8323 can be used to control a brushed DC motor.
Please can you confirm this?
Thank you,
Best regards

Hello Alexandre,
DRV8323 can support brushed-DC motor drive.
3x PWM mode would allow you to control the motor like below. I recommend tying INLA & INLB together (the pins are used to activate the 1/2-H bridges).

High-side brake |
Motor braking can be accomplished through the high-side FETs or low-side FETs, there isn't really a difference from the motor standpoint. Most customers use the low side FETs since it is the most common practice.
INLC and INHC would control the third 1/2-H bridge. If you are not using the third 1/2-H bridge, tie INLC and INHC to GND and tie SHC to GND through a 330 ohm resistor.
Thanks,
Matt
