Original question:

DRV8860: Communication Protocol

DRV8860: Alternative part with standard interface

Paul_Marco
Prodigy 165 points
Part Number: DRV8860

I don't have the luxury of bit-banging (too much other stuff going on).

I do although have available i2c and SPI peripherals.

1. Is there an alternative part that has the features of the DRV8860, notably the energizing-time + holding-pwm, that I can use with a standard interface?

2. Is it possible to take advantage of the SPI peripheral to communicate with the DRV8860?

3. Does there exist any Linux Kernel Driver modules to operate this chip?

    Hi Paul,

    1. Is there an alternative part that has the features of the DRV8860, notably the energizing-time + holding-pwm, that I can use with a standard interface?

    >> There is not. It appears the standard SPI interface can be used most of the time. It is only during the 5 special commands that bit-banging is required.

    2. Is it possible to take advantage of the SPI peripheral to communicate with the DRV8860?

    >> See above answer.

    3. Does there exist any Linux Kernel Driver modules to operate this chip?

    >> None to our knowledge.
