DESCRIPTION
The DRV8824 provides an integrated motor driver solution for printers, scanners, and other automated
equipment applications. The device has two H-bridge drivers and a microstepping indexer, and is intended to
drive a bipolar stepper motor. The output driver block for each consists of N-channel power MOSFET’s
configured as full H-bridges to drive the motor windings. The DRV8824 is capable of driving up to 1.6-A of output
current (with proper heatsinking, at 24 V and 25°C).
A simple step/direction interface allows easy interfacing to controller circuits. Pins allow configuration of the
motor in full-step up to 1/32-step modes. Decay mode is programmable.
Internal shutdown functions are provided for overcurrent protection, short circuit protection, undervoltage lockout
and overtemperature.
The DRV8824 is available in a 28-pin HTSSOP package with PowerPAD™ (Eco-friendly: RoHS & no Sb/Br).

DESCRIPTION
Connect to motor supply (8 - 45 V). Both pins
must be connected to same supply.
Bypass to GND with a 0.47-mF 6.3-V ceramic
capacitor. Can be used to supply VREF.
Connect a 0.01-mF 50-V capacitor between
CP1 and CP2.
Connect a 0.1-mF 16-V ceramic capacitor to
VM.
Logic high to disable device outputs and
indexer operation, logic low to enable
Logic high to enable device, logic low to enter
low-power sleep mode
Rising edge causes the indexer to move one
step
MODE0 - MODE2 set the step mode - full,
1/2, 1/4, 1/8/ 1/16, or 1/32 step
Low = slow decay, open = mixed decay, high
= fast decay
Active-low reset input initializes the indexer
logic and disables the H-bridge outputs
Normally AVREF and BVREF are connected
to the same voltage. Can be connected to
V3P3OUT. A 0.01-µF bypass capacitor to
GND is recommended.
Logic low when in fault condition (overtemp,
overcurrent)
Connect to bipolar stepper motor winding A.
Positive current is AOUT1 → AOUT2
Connect to bipolar stepper motor winding B.
Positive current is BOUT1 → BOUT2
