The DRV8860 provides an 8-channel low side driver with overcurrent protection and
open/shorted load detection. It has built-in diodes to clamp turn-off transients generated by
inductive loads, and can be used to drive unipolar stepper motors, DC motors, relays, solenoids, or
other loads.
The PWP package can supply up to 330 mA × 8 channel and The PW package can supply up to
200 mA × 8 channel continuous output current. A single channel can deliver up to 560 mA continuous
output current.
A serial interface is provided to control the DRV8860 output drivers, configure internal
setting register and read the fault status of each channel. DRV8860 devices can be daisy-chained
together to use a single serial interface. Energizing-time and holding-PWM-Duty cycles are
configurable through serial interface as well. These functions allow for cooler running than
always-on solutions.
Internal shutdown functions are provided for overcurrent protection, short-circuit
protection, undervoltage lockout, and overtemperature. DRV8860A does not include open load
detection. Fault information for each channel can be read out through serial interface and
indicated by an external fault pin.
