8 Detailed Description

8.1 Overview
The DRV8825 is an integrated motor driver solution for bipolar stepper motors. The device integrates two NMOS
H-bridges, current sense, regulation circuitry, and a microstepping indexer. The DRV8825 can be powered with a
supply voltage between 8.2 and 45 V and is capable of providing an output current up to 2.5 A full-scale.
A simple STEP/DIR interface allows for easy interfacing to the controller circuit. The internal indexer is able to
execute high-accuracy microstepping without requiring the processor to control the current level.
The current regulation is highly configurable, with three decay modes of operation. Depending on the application
requirements, the user can select fast, slow, and mixed decay.
A low-power sleep mode is included which allows the system to save power when not driving the motor.

8.3 Feature Description

8.3.1 PWM Motor Drivers
The DRV8825 contains two H-bridge motor drivers with current-control PWM circuitry. Figure 6 shows a block
diagram of the motor control circuitry.

Figure 6. Motor Control Circuitry

Note that there are multiple VM motor power supply pins. All VM pins must be connected together to the motor
supply voltage.

Feature Description (continued)

8.3.2 Current Regulation
The current through the motor windings is regulated by a fixed-frequency PWM current regulation, or current
chopping. When an H-bridge is enabled, current rises through the winding at a rate dependent on the DC voltage
and inductance of the winding. Once the current hits the current chopping threshold, the bridge disables the
current until the beginning of the next PWM cycle.
In stepping motors, current regulation is used to vary the current in the two windings in a semi-sinusoidal fashion
to provide smooth motion.
The PWM chopping current is set by a comparator which compares the voltage across a current sense resistor
connected to the xISEN pins, multiplied by a factor of 5, with a reference voltage. The reference voltage is input
from the xVREF pins.
The full-scale (100%) chopping current is calculated in Equation 1.
V(xREF)
ICHOP
5 u RISENSE (1)
Example:
If a 0.25- sense resistor is used and the VREFx pin is 2.5 V, the full-scale (100%) chopping current will be
2.5 V / (5 x 0.25 ) = 2 A.
The reference voltage is scaled by an internal DAC that allows fractional stepping of a bipolar stepper motor, as
described in the microstepping indexer section below.

8.3.3 Decay Mode

During PWM current chopping, the H-bridge is enabled to drive current through the motor winding until the PWM
current chopping threshold is reached. This is shown in Figure 7 as case 1. The current flow direction shown
indicates positive current flow.
Once the chopping current threshold is reached, the H-bridge can operate in two different states, fast decay or
slow decay.
In fast decay mode, once the PWM chopping current level has been reached, the H-bridge reverses state to
allow winding current to flow in a reverse direction. As the winding current approaches 0, the bridge is disabled to
prevent any reverse current flow. Fast decay mode is shown in Figure 7 as case 2.
In slow decay mode, winding current is recirculated by enabling both of the low-side FETs in the bridge. This is
shown in Figure 7 as case 3.

Feature Description (continued)

Figure 7. Decay Mode

The DRV8825 supports fast decay, slow decay and a mixed decay mode. Slow, fast, or mixed decay mode is
selected by the state of the DECAY pin; logic low selects slow decay, open selects mixed decay operation, and
logic high sets fast decay mode. The DECAY pin has both an internal pullup resistor of approximately 130 k
and an internal pulldown resistor of approximately 80 k. This sets the mixed decay mode if the pin is left open
or undriven.
Mixed decay mode begins as fast decay, but at a fixed period of time (75% of the PWM cycle) switches to slow
decay mode for the remainder of the fixed PWM period. This occurs only if the current through the winding is
decreasing (per the indexer step table); if the current is increasing, then slow decay is used.

8.3.4 Blanking Time

After the current is enabled in an H-bridge, the voltage on the xISEN pin is ignored for a fixed period of time
before enabling the current sense circuitry. This blanking time is fixed at 3.75 s. Note that the blanking time also
sets the minimum on time of the PWM.

8.3.5 Microstepping Indexer

Built-in indexer logic in the DRV8825 allows a number of different stepping configurations. The MODE0 through
MODE2 pins are used to configure the stepping format as shown in Table 1.

Table 1. Stepping Format

MODE2 MODE1 MODE0 STEP MODE

Table 2 shows the relative current and step directions for different settings of MODEx. At each rising edge of the
STEP input, the indexer travels to the next state in the table. The direction is shown with the DIR pin high; if the
DIR pin is low the sequence is reversed. Positive current is defined as xOUT1 = positive with respect to xOUT2.
Note that if the step mode is changed while stepping, the indexer will advance to the next valid state for the new
MODEx setting at the rising edge of STEP.
The home state is 45. This state is entered at power-up or application of nRESET. This is shown in Table 2 by
the shaded cells. The logic inputs DIR, STEP, nRESET, and MODEx have internal pulldown resistors of 100 k.

8.3.6 nRESET, nENBL, and nSLEEP Operation

The nRESET pin, when driven active low, resets internal logic, and resets the step table to the home position. It
also disables the H-bridge drivers. The STEP input is ignored while nRESET is active.
The nENBL pin is used to control the output drivers and enable/disable operation of the indexer. When nENBL is
low, the output H-bridges are enabled, and rising edges on the STEP pin are recognized. When nENBL is high,
the H-bridges are disabled, the outputs are in a high-impedance state, and the STEP input is ignored.
Driving nSLEEP low will put the device into a low power sleep state. In this state, the H-bridges are disabled, the
gate drive charge pump is stopped, the V3P3OUT regulator is disabled, and all internal clocks are stopped. In
this state all inputs are ignored until nSLEEP returns inactive high. When returning from sleep mode, some time
(approximately 1 ms) needs to pass before applying a STEP input, to allow the internal circuitry to stabilize. Note
that nRESET and nENABL have internal pulldown resistors of approximately 100 k. The nSLEEP pin has an
internal pulldown resistor of 1 M. nSLEEP and nRESET signals need to be driven to logic high for device
operation.

8.3.7 Protection Circuits

The DRV8825 is fully protected against undervoltage, overcurrent, and overtemperature events.

8.3.7.1 Overcurrent Protection (OCP)

An analog current limit circuit on each FET limits the current through the FET by removing the gate drive. If this
analog current limit persists for longer than the OCP time, all FETs in the H-bridge will be disabled and the
nFAULT pin will be driven low. The device remains disabled until either nRESET pin is applied, or VM is
removed and reapplied.
Overcurrent conditions on both high-side and low-side devices; that is, a short to ground, supply, or across the
motor winding all result in an overcurrent shutdown. Note that overcurrent protection does not use the current
sense circuitry used for PWM current control, and is independent of the ISENSE resistor value or xVREF voltage.

8.3.7.2 Thermal Shutdown (TSD)

If the die temperature exceeds safe limits, all FETs in the H-bridge will be disabled and the nFAULT pin will be
driven low. After the die temperature has fallen to a safe level, operation automatically resumes.

8.3.7.3 Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)

If at any time the voltage on the VM pins falls below the UVLO threshold voltage, all circuitry in the device will be
disabled and internal logic will be reset. Operation will resume when V(VMx) rises above the UVLO threshold.

8.4 Device Functional Modes

8.4.1 STEP/DIR Interface
The STEP/DIR interface provides a simple method for advancing through the indexer table. For each rising edge
on the STEP pin, the indexer travels to the next state in the table. The direction it moves in the table is
determined by the input to the DIR pin. The signals applied to the STEP and DIR pins should not violate the
timing diagram specified in Figure 1.

8.4.2 Microstepping
The microstepping indexer allows for a variety of stepping configurations. The state of the indexer is determined
by the configuration of the three MODE pins (refer to Table 1 for configuration options). The DRV8825 supports
full step up to 1/32 microstepping.

9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure

9.2.2.1 Stepper Motor Speed

The first step in configuring the DRV8825 requires the desired motor speed and microstepping level. If the target
application requires a constant speed, then a square wave with frequency step must be applied to the STEP pin.

If the target motor startup speed is too high, the motor will not spin. Make sure that the motor can support the
target speed or implement an acceleration profile to bring the motor up to speed.

step can be found in the stepper motor data sheet or written on the motor itself.
For the DRV8825, the microstepping level is set by the MODE pins and can be any of the settings in Table 1.
Higher microstepping will mean a smoother motor motion and less audible noise, but will increase switching
losses and require a higher step to achieve the same motor speed.

9.2.2.2 Current Regulation

In a stepper motor, the set full-scale current (IFS) is the maximum current driven through either winding. This
quantity depends on the xVREF analog voltage and the sense resistor value (RSENSE). During stepping, IFS
defines the current chopping threshold (ITRIP) for the maximum current step. The gain of DRV8825 is set for 5
V/V.
xVREF(V) xVREF(V)
IFS (A)
A v u RSENSE (:) 5 u RSENSE (:) (4)
To achieve IFS = 1.25 A with RSENSE of 0.2 , xVREF should be 1.25 V.

9.2.2.3 Decay Modes

The DRV8825 supports three different decay modes: slow decay, fast decay, and mixed decay. The current
through the motor windings is regulated using a fixed-frequency PWM scheme. This means that after any drive
phase, when a motor winding current has hit the current chopping threshold (ITRIP), the DRV8825 will place the
winding in one of the three decay modes until the PWM cycle has expired. Afterward, a new drive phase starts.
The blanking time, tBLANK, defines the minimum drive time for the current chopping. ITRIP is ignored during tBLANK,
so the winding current may overshoot the trip level.

10 Power Supply Recommendations

The DRV8825 is designed to operate from an input voltage supply (VMx) range between 8.2 and 45 V. Two
0.1-F ceramic capacitors rated for VMx must be placed as close as possible to the VMA and VMB pins
respectively (one on each pin). In addition to the local decoupling caps, additional bulk capacitance is required
and must be sized accordingly to the application requirements.

10.1 Bulk Capacitance

Bulk capacitance sizing is an important factor in motor drive system design. It is dependent on a variety of factors
including:
Type of power supply
Acceptable supply voltage ripple
Parasitic inductance in the power supply wiring
Type of motor (brushed DC, brushless DC, stepper)
Motor startup current
Motor braking method
The inductance between the power supply and motor drive system will limit the rate current can change from the
power supply. If the local bulk capacitance is too small, the system will respond to excessive current demands or
dumps from the motor with a change in voltage. You should size the bulk capacitance to meet acceptable
voltage ripple levels.
The data sheet generally provides a recommended value but system level testing is required to determine the
appropriate sized bulk capacitor.

10.2 Power Supply and Logic Sequencing

There is no specific sequence for powering-up the DRV8825. It is okay for digital input signals to be present
before VMx is applied. After VMx is applied to the DRV8825, it begins operation based on the status of the
control pins.

11 Layout

11.1 Layout Guidelines

The VMA and VMB pins should be bypassed to GND using low-ESR ceramic bypass capacitors with a
recommended value of 0.1-F rated for VMx. This capacitor should be placed as close to the VMA and VMB pins
as possible with a thick trace or ground plane connection to the device GND pin.
The VMA and VMB pins must be bypassed to ground using an appropriate bulk capacitor. This component may
be an electrolytic and should be located close to the DRV8825.
A low-ESR ceramic capacitor must be placed in between the CPL and CPH pins. TI recommends a value of
0.01-F rated for VMx. Place this component as close to the pins as possible.
A low-ESR ceramic capacitor must be placed in between the VMA and VCP pins. TI recommends a value of 0.1-
F rated for 16 V. Place this component as close to the pins as possible. Also, place a 1-M resistor between
VCP and VMA.
Bypass V3P3 to ground with a ceramic capacitor rated 6.3 V. Place this bypass capacitor as close to the pin as
possible

11.3 Thermal Protection

The DRV8825 has thermal shutdown (TSD) as described above. If the die temperature exceeds approximately
150C, the device will be disabled until the temperature drops to a safe level.
Any tendency of the device to enter TSD is an indication of either excessive power dissipation, insufficient
heatsinking, or too high an ambient temperature.

11.3.1 Power Dissipation

Power dissipation in the DRV8825 is dominated by the power dissipated in the output FET resistance, or RDS(ON).
Average power dissipation when running a stepper motor can be roughly estimated by Equation 5.

Thermal Protection (continued)

PTOT 
4 u RDS(ON) u IOUT(RMS)  (5)
where PTOT is the total power dissipation, RDS(ON) is the resistance of each FET, and IOUT(RMS) is the RMS output
current being applied to each winding. IOUT(RMS) is equal to the approximately 0.7x the full-scale output current
setting. The factor of 4 comes from the fact that there are two motor windings, and at any instant two FETs are
conducting winding current for each winding (one high-side and one low-side).
The maximum amount of power that can be dissipated in the device is dependent on ambient temperature and
heatsinking.
Note that RDS(ON) increases with temperature, so as the device heats, the power dissipation increases. This must
be taken into consideration when sizing the heatsink.

11.3.2 Heatsinking
The PowerPAD package uses an exposed pad to remove heat from the device. For proper operation, this pad
must be thermally connected to copper on the PCB to dissipate heat. On a multi-layer PCB with a ground plane,
this can be accomplished by adding a number of vias to connect the thermal pad to the ground plane. On PCBs
without internal planes, copper area can be added on either side of the PCB to dissipate heat. If the copper area
is on the opposite side of the PCB from the device, thermal vias are used to transfer the heat between top and
bottom layers.
For details about how to design the PCB, refer to TI application report SLMA002, "PowerPAD Thermally
Enhanced Package" and TI application brief SLMA004, PowerPAD Made Easy, available at www.ti.com.
In general, the more copper area that can be provided, the more power can be dissipated. It can be seen that the
heatsink effectiveness increases rapidly to about 20 cm2, then levels off somewhat for larger areas.

Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TIs goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or enhanced plastic are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
