DRV8811: The power sequence between VM and VCC

Part Number: DRV8811

Hi all

Would you mind if we ask DRV8811?
Is there the power sequence between VM and VCC?

Is it possible to use this device following conditions?

<The condition>
-VCC=ON
-VM=OFF
-Logic signal ENABLEn,RESETn,USM0,USM1 and DECAY are pull up 3.3V.

We assume that there is no problem.

Kind regards,

Hirotaka Matsumoto

  • Hello Matsumoto-san,

    The DRV8811 has UVLO protection for VM and VCC. The UVLO will lock out the device if either supply is below the UVLO threshold. Because of this you should be able to ramp the supplies in any order.

    Thank you so much for your reply!

    ->We got that The UVLO will lock out the device.
       We would like to confirm as followings;
       VCC=Always high.
       VM=When the customer would like to operate, VM turns on(supply the voltage). It means discontinuous control action.
       The customer would like to reduce the consumption of VM voltage.
       Is it possible? And the device doesn't damage, right?

    Kind regards,

  • Matsumoto-san,

    Correct, the device will not be damaged in this condition.
