Texas Instruments' DAQ expands its motor driver portfolio with a 12V motor driver family that reduces acceleration time to just a few seconds and makes commissioning of stepper and brushed DC motors easier.
The DRV8846 incorporates new proprietary adaptive current control technology that automatically adjusts motor performance for precise, smooth and quiet motion. The device simplifies design by using a simple pulse-width modulation (PWM) control interface and a minimum of external components.
Both devices are fully protected from failure, which reduces design complexity and improves system reliability in motor applications such as 3D printers; IP security cameras; refrigerator door controls; heating, ventilation, and air conditioning ( HVAC); home automation equipment; the company says, and robotic vacuum cleaners.
