Product details

Motor-drive BOM fit: dual H-bridge in a 16-pin HTSSOP

It drives two brushed DC motors independently or one bipolar stepper motor, controlled directly by PWM signals from a microcontroller. Each bridge delivers up to 1.5 A continuous output current, with a supply range of 2.7 V to 10.8 V.

1.5 A per bridge — sizing the load and the thermal pad

The 1.5 A continuous rating per H-bridge is the spec that drives the load budget: two brushed DC motors at 1.5 A each, or a bipolar stepper drawing up to 1.5 A per phase.

PWM control — no SPI, no I2C, just two pins per bridge

The interface is plain PWM: one input per half-bridge, so four PWM pins from the MCU control both motors or the stepper. There is no serial bus overhead — the firmware just toggles GPIOs. This keeps the MCU selection simple; any controller with four timer outputs works. Logic inputs are referenced to the device supply voltage (VCC), which can be as low as 2.7 V — so logic is directly compatible. No level shifter needed between an MCU and the driver.

Frequently asked questions

What is the output current rating of DRV8833PWPR?

Each H-bridge is rated for 1.5 A continuous output current. The total current through the device is limited by the junction temperature, which must stay within -40°C to 150°C.

Can DRV8833PWPR drive a stepper motor?

Yes. The four half-bridges can be configured as two full H-bridges to drive a bipolar stepper motor. The PWM inputs control the phase currents directly.

Is DRV8833PWPR compatible with 3.3V logic inputs?

Yes. The logic supply range (VCC) is 2.7 V to 10.8 V, so a 3.3 V MCU output drives the PWM inputs directly without level translation.

Does DRV8833PWPR have overcurrent protection?

The evidence does not list overcurrent protection as a feature. The device includes internal NMOS FETs with typical Rds(on) in the datasheet; external current sensing or a fuse is recommended for fault-tolerant designs.
