DRV883x device series provides an integrated motor driver solution for cameras, consumer products, toys and other low-voltage or battery-powered motion control applications. This device can drive a DC motor or other devices (such as solenoid). The output driver module consists of an N-channel power MOSFET configured as an H-bridge to drive the motor winding. An internal charge pump is used to generate the required gate driving voltage.

The DRV883x device family can provide output current up to 1.8A. It runs on the motor power supply voltage between 0 and 11V and the device power supply voltage between 1.8V and 7 V..

DRV8837 has a PWM (IN/IN) input interface; The DRV8838 device has a PH-EN input interface. Both interfaces are compatible with industry standard devices.

It also provides internal shutdown functions for over-current protection, short-circuit protection, under-voltage locking and overheating protection.
