DRV602PWR datasheet by Texas Instruments

DRV602PWR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for the DRV602PWR?
  A good PCB layout for the DRV602PWR involves keeping the power traces short and wide, using a solid ground plane, and placing the input and output capacitors close to the device. TI provides a recommended PCB layout in the datasheet and application notes.
• How do I choose the right input and output capacitors for the DRV602PWR?
  The choice of input and output capacitors depends on the specific application and operating conditions. TI recommends using low-ESR capacitors with a minimum capacitance of 10uF for the input and output. The datasheet provides more information on capacitor selection.
• What is the maximum power dissipation of the DRV602PWR?
  The maximum power dissipation of the DRV602PWR depends on the operating conditions and package type. The datasheet provides a power dissipation calculation formula and a thermal resistance table to help estimate the maximum power dissipation.
• How do I protect the DRV602PWR from overvoltage and undervoltage conditions?
  The DRV602PWR has built-in overvoltage protection (OVP) and undervoltage lockout (UVLO) features. However, additional protection circuits may be required depending on the application. TI recommends using a voltage supervisor or a dedicated OVP/UVLO IC for added protection.
• Can I use the DRV602PWR in a high-temperature environment?
  The DRV602PWR is rated for operation up to 125°C. However, the device's performance and reliability may degrade at high temperatures. TI recommends using thermal management techniques, such as heat sinks or thermal interfaces, to keep the device temperature within the recommended range.
