PI4035，Pololu原廠 DRV8874單有刷直流馬達電機驅動，Single Brushed DC Motor Driver Carrier

 　　This compact breakout board for TI’s DRV8874 motor driver offers a wide operating voltage range of 4.5 V to 37 V and can deliver a continuous 2.1 A to a single bidirectional brushed DC motor. The DRV8874 also features integrated current sensing and regulation that limits the peak motor current to about 4.4 A by default, as well as built-in protection against under-voltage, over-current, and over-temperature. The carrier board adds protection against reverse voltage.

【Details for item #4035】

　　This carrier for TI’s DRV8874PWP motor driver can supply continuous currents up to approximately 2.1 A and has a current limit set to 4.4 A by default (with 5 V on SLEEP). Since this board is a carrier for the DRV8874, we recommend careful reading of the DRV8874 datasheet. The board ships populated with all of its SMD components, including the DRV8874.

［Overview］

　　This product is a carrier board for Texas Instruments’ DRV887x family of motor drivers; we therefore recommend careful reading of the corresponding driver’s datasheet before using this product. Three pin-compatible versions are available based on these TI motor drivers that differ in the amount of current they can deliver while supporting the same 4.5 V to 37 V operating voltage ranges and control interfaces. We also have pin-compatible versions of these drivers based on the Toshiba’s TB67H453FNG/FTG, which is an alternative to the DRV8876 that offers the same functionality with slightly lower on resistance and a higher maximum operating voltage. The following table compares these five pin-compatible versions along with the similar DRV8256 motor drivers:

［Using the motor driver］

　　Motor and motor power connections are made on one side of the board and logic power and control connections are made on the other. The driver requires a motor voltage between 4.5 V and 37 V to be supplied to the VIN or VM pin. The driver is in sleep mode by default, and a logic voltage between 1.8 V and 5.5 V must be supplied to the SLEEP pin; to take it out of sleep mode. This logic voltage can typically be shared with the controlling device, or it can be supplied by an output from the controlling device, which allows for dynamic control of the sleep mode. The VIN pin is the reverse-protected motor supply input and is the recommended point for connecting motor power. VM is an access point for motor supply power after the reverse voltage protection circuit.

　　The DRV8874/DRV8876 features three possible control modes: phase/enable (PH/EN), PWM (IN/IN), and independent half-bridge. The PMODE pin determines the control interface, and the state is latched when the driver is enabled through the SLEEP pin.

［Phase/enable (PH/EN) mode］

　　Setting the PMODE pin low prior to enabling the driver, as shown in the diagram above, sets the driver to phase/enable control mode, where the PH pin determines the motor direction and the EN pin can be supplied with a PWM signal to control the motor speed (this is typically referred to as sign-magnitude operation). This mode is generally easier to use as it only requires one PWM signal, but it only allows for drive/brake operation. (Drive/brake operation usually provides a more linear relationship between PWM duty cycle and motor speed than drive/coast operation, and we generally recommend using drive/brake operation when possible.)

　　This mode can also be used for locked-antiphase operation, where a sufficiently high-frequency (up to 100 kHz) PWM is applied to the phase (PH) pin and the enable (EN) pin is tied high. In locked-antiphase operation, the PWM duty cycle controls speed and direction, going from full-speed in one direction at 0% duty cycle to full speed in the other direction at 100% duty cycle. A duty cycle of 50% will stop the motor. The appropriate PWM frequency will generally depend on the inductance of the motor.

［Advanced usage with PWM (IN/IN) mode］

　　When the PMODE pin is set high prior to enabling the driver, the driver is set to PWM (IN/IN) control mode, which allows for more advanced control options, including allowing the H-bridge to enter a high-impedance (coast) state without sleep. The following truth table shows how to achieve drive/coast (slow decay) and drive/brake (fast decay) operation using the IN/IN control interface：

［Advanced usage with independent half-bridge mode］：

　　When the PMODE pin is left high-impedance (i.e. floating or disconnected) when the driver is enabled, the driver is set to independent half-bridge control mode. See the DRV8874/DRV8876 datasheet for more information about this control mode.

【Current limiting】：

　　The DRV8874/DRV8876 can be configured to actively limit the current through the motors by using a fixed off-time PWM current regulation (current chopping) or a cycle-by-cycle PWM current chopping scheme. The current chopping scheme and over-current response is selectable through the IMODE quad-level input. This carrier pulls down IMODE to GND through a 20 kΩ resistor, setting the current chopping mode to cycle-by-cycle. The current limit is determined by the voltage on the VREF pin, which this carrier board pulls up to SLEEP through a 10 kΩ resistor, and the resistor on the CS pin, which this carrier board pulls down to GND through a 2.49 kΩ resistor. When SLEEP is connected to 5 V, the current limit is set to approximately 4.4 A on the DRV8874 carrier or 2 A on the DRV8876 carriers; a lower logic voltage on SLEEP decreases the current limit proportionally. The current limit can be lowered by connecting an additional resistor between VREF and GND or by connecting an external reference voltage directly to VREF; the current limit can be increased by connecting an additional resistor between CS and GND. Current limiting can be disabled by connecting CS directly to GND, although the driver’s overcurrent protection will still limit the current to about 6 A on the DRV8874 or 3.5 A on the DRV8876. Refer to the DRV8874/DRV8876 datasheet for more information about the driver’s current regulation.

【Real-world power dissipation considerations】：

　　The DRV8874 is rated for a peak current of 6 A and the DRV8876 is rated for a peak current of 3.5 A by their respective datasheets. However, the chips by themselves will overheat at lower currents. In our tests, we found that the chips on our carrier boards were able to deliver their rated peak currents for less than a second before their thermal protections kicked in and disabled the motor outputs. They were able to operate at their default current limits of 4.4 A (DRV8874) and 2 A (DRV8876) for a few seconds before thermal shutdown. The continuous current specifications we provide for these products of 2.1 A (DRV8874 carrier), 1.3 A (DRV8876 carrier), and 1.1 A (DRV8876 (QFN) carrier) are currents we found to be sustainable for many minutes without triggering thermal shutdown. These tests were conducted at room temperature in open space with no additional cooling (e.g. no forced airflow or heat sinks).

　　The actual current you can deliver will depend on how well you can keep the motor driver cool. The carrier’s printed circuit board is designed to help with this by drawing heat out of the motor driver chip. PWMing the motor will introduce additional heating proportional to the frequency.
