STSPIN840 Compact dual brushed DC motor driver Datasheet - production data Description The STSPIN840 is a compact brushed DC motor driver able to drive two bi-directional brushed DC motors simultaneously. It integrates, in a very small 4 x 4 mm QFN package, both the control logic and a fully protected low R dual full- DSon bridge power stage. QFN 4 x 4 - 24 lead Thanks to a dedicated PARALLEL input pin the parallel mode function can be enabled, transforming the device in an equivalent and Features more powerful single full-bridge able to deliver up to 3A current at an equivalent HS + LS R rms DSon Operating voltage from 7 to 45 V of 500 m . Maximum output current 1.5 A rms The STSPIN840 embeds two independent PWM R HS + LS = 1 typ. DSon current controllers (one for each full bridge) based Current control with adjustable OFF time on user settable values of reference voltage and OFF time. Current sensing based on external shunt resistors The devices can be forced in a low consumption state reducing the total current consumption down Full protections set to less than 45 A. Non-dissipative overcurrent protection Short-circuit protection As with all other devices from the STSPIN family, the STSPIN840 integrates a complete set of Undervoltage lockout protections for the power stages (non-dissipative Thermal shutdown overcurrent, thermal shutdown, short-circuit and Parallel operation mode achieving single full- undervoltage lockout) making it a bulletproof bridge configuration with output I = 3 A RMS rms solution for the new wave of demanding industrial and R HS + LS = 500 m typ.
