1.76 A brushed DC driver in a SOT-563
The DRV8210DRLR is a fully integrated brushed DC motor driver from Texas Instruments, packing the control and power stage into a single SOT-563 package. The driver uses an NMOS half-bridge output stage (two half bridges) controlled through a PWM interface, making it straightforward to pair with any microcontroller that has a timer output. It handles both brushed DC motors and bipolar stepper motors.
What the 1.76 A and 1.65-11 V range mean for your BOM
The 1.76 A continuous output current is the RMS current the driver can sustain in a typical brushed DC motor application at room temperature. For a camera autofocus actuator or a small pump motor drawing 1 A peak, this part has headroom — but if your motor stall current exceeds 2 A, you'll want to step up to a higher-rated driver or add external FETs.
Package and PCB integration
The SOT-563 package (1.6 mm × 1.6 mm body, 0.5 mm pitch) is a small-outline transistor package with six leads. It is surface-mount only — no through-hole variant.
