DRV8881: Using DRV8881 with external mosfets for High current motor driver applications

Part Number: DRV8881
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DRV8701, DRV8702-Q1, DRV8703-Q1, DRV8704

Hi,

I am current using a Dual Half bridge driver IC with external mosfets from another manufacturer. I would like to know if I can use DRV8881 using external mosfets for the DC motor current upto 20A applications. Any suggestions for other TI drivers if there are any. Please reply.

Thanks,

Vino

  • Hi Vino,

    The DRV8881 has internal FETS and cannot be used to drive external FETs.

    We have the following devices available to drive external FETs

    DRV8701
    DRV8702-Q1
    DRV8703-Q1
    DRV8704  -- dual motor gate driver

    Please consider these.
