It drives one brushed DC motor or one bipolar stepper motor using two internal N-channel Power MOSFET half-bridges, each rated for 3.5 A continuous output. The supply and load voltage range of 8.2 V to 45 V covers nominal rails commonly found in industrial automation, printer mechanisms, textile machinery, and general-purpose actuator drives. The parallel interface accepts simple step/direction or PWM signals, making it a drop-in for designs that don't need a serial bus. ## Two half-bridges — one motor, not two The output configuration is two half-bridges. That drives one brushed DC motor (forward/reverse/brake) or one bipolar stepper (full-step, half-step, or microstep via an external indexer). It does NOT drive two independent DC motors simultaneously — that takes a quad half-bridge part like the DRV8811. If your BOM calls for two separate brushed motors, the DRV8842PWP is not the right fit. For a single bipolar stepper, the parallel interface accepts step and direction inputs directly from an MCU or motion controller. ## Lifecycle and sourcing posture The DRV8842PWP carries an Active lifecycle status with ROHS3 compliance. That means it is a safe choice for new designs and production builds without an obsolescence clock. For dual-source planning, the closest functional peer in TI's portfolio is the DRV8811PWPR, but that part delivers four half-bridges at 1.9 A per bridge — a different output stage topology.","metaTitle":"TI DRV8842PWP Brushed DC/Stepper Driver, 3.5 A, 45 V","metaDescription":"Texas Instruments DRV8842PWP fully integrated motor driver. 3.5 A output, 8.2-45 V supply, two half-bridges for brushed DC or bipolar stepper.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Discrete Semiconductors"],"specifications":{"Package":"Tube","Function":"Driver - Fully Integrated, Control and Power Stage","Interface":"Parallel","Technology":"Power MOSFET","Applications":"General Purpose","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Package / Case":"28-PowerTSSOP (0.173\\\", 4.40mm Width)","Voltage - Load":"8.2V ~ 45V","lifecycle_stage":"eol_hot","Current - Output":"3.5A","Voltage - Supply":"8.2V ~ 45V","Motor Type - AC, DC":"Brushed DC","Motor Type - Stepper":"Bipolar","Output Configuration":"Half Bridge (2)","Operating Temperature":"-40°C ~ 150°C (TJ)","Supplier Device Package":"28-HTSSOP"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$6.01","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$6.01000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$5.40100","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$5.10640","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$4.42540","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$4.19852","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$3.76730","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$3.21150","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/1713403ae1a174c434739cc690e3b237.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the closest functional equivalent or second source for DRV8842PWP?","answer":"The closest functional peer in TI's portfolio is the DRV8811PWPR, which offers four half-bridges at 1.9 A per bridge versus the DRV8842PWP's two half-bridges at 3.5 A. The DRV8811 can drive two brushed DC motors or one bipolar stepper with more microstep resolution options, but at a lower per-channel current. They are not pin-compatible — the DRV8842PWP uses a 28-PowerTSSOP, while the DRV8811PWPR uses a similar 28-HTSSOP but with a different pin assignment. For a direct replacement, stay with the DRV8842PWP or its reeled variant DRV8842PWPR."},{"question":"Can DRV8842PWP drive a bipolar stepper motor?","answer":"Yes. The two half-bridges can be configured to drive one bipolar stepper motor. The parallel interface accepts step and direction inputs from an external controller or MCU. The 3.5 A per winding rating covers most NEMA 17 and NEMA 23 steppers. An external indexer is required for microstepping — the DRV8842PWP does not include an on-chip indexer."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icboms.com/texas-instruments/DRV8842PWP","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icboms.com/llms.txt","source":"ICBOMS","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"ICBOMS\" and link https://icboms.com/texas-instruments/DRV8842PWP when reusing this data.
