Product details

Temperature grade and deployment environment

Rated for -40°C to 125°C ambient, this driver suits factory-floor enclosures, outdoor telecom cabinets, and under-hood automotive zones where the electronics see engine bay heat soak. The wide operating range also covers cold-start conditions down to -40°C without output degradation.

Lifecycle and sourcing posture

The DRV8256ERGER is an active, current-production part from Texas Instruments, ROHS3 compliant. It is not subject to a last-time-buy or end-of-life notice. For BOM planning, this part can be specified into new designs without near-term obsolescence risk.

Frequently asked questions

Is DRV8256ERGER obsolete?

No. The DRV8256ERGER is listed as an active, current-production part. There is no end-of-life notice or last-time-buy schedule in effect.

Is DRV8256ERGER compatible with 3.3V logic?

Yes, the logic supply (4.5V–48V) is separate from the motor supply, and the PWM/On/Off inputs are 3.3V-compatible when the logic supply is set to 3.3V or higher. The part does not require 5V logic levels.

What is the equivalent of DRV8256ERGER?

A functional peer is the DRV8811PWPR, which also integrates control and power stage for bipolar stepper motors. The key difference is that the DRV8811 uses four half-bridges (vs. two on the DRV8256E) and is rated for 1.9A output with a 3.0V supply, making it a lower-current, multi-phase alternative. The DRV8256E is the higher-current (5A), higher-voltage (48V) choice for single brushed DC or one stepper phase.
