DRV8251/AEVM User's Guide
ABSTRACT
This document is provided with the DRV82X1 family customer evaluation modules (EVM) as a supplement to
the DRV8251, DRV8251A, DRV8231 and DRV8231A data sheets. This user's guide describes the hardware
implementation of the EVM.
Hot surface
. Contact may cause burns. Do not exceed limitations of the DRV devices:
4.5-V to 48-V operating supply voltage range • RDS(on), voltage, and current sense/regulation
variants (external shunt resistor and integrated current mirror) – DRV8251: 4.5-V to 48-V, 450-mΩ,
shunt – DRV8251A: 4.5-V to 48-V, 450-mΩ, mirror – DRV8231: 4.5-V to 33-V, 600-mΩ, shunt –
DRV8231A: 4.5-V to 33-V, 600-mΩ, mirror • Keep the peak current below
1.6 A RMS
to avoid
temperatures above
130°C
(at 25°C ambient temperature).
