DRVxxxx Breakout

Compared to the DRV8836, the DRV8839 has some other features. It has is only capable of driving one Motor, but which much more control option. And driving Motors with it will not be my application. There are two independent Half bridges inside the DRV8839 each with a an enable and output-State input. So you can create two powerful (up to 1.8A) tri-state outputs with it.

The PCBs is read and already sent to manufacturer (see PCB color if you want to know which one). Here a Preview created with http://3dbrdviewer.cytec.bg

The two THT Pads in the middle are for are optional THT-Capacitor. On the sides the Pin-headers do fit directly into a Breadboard.

• 1 × DRV8836 Power Management ICs / Motion, Motor and Servo Control
• 1 × Capacitor 10µF 0805 SMD Capacitor
• 1 × Capacitor 100nF 0805 SMD Capacitor
• 1 × Pin headers Standars 100mil pin headers
• 1 × PCB

Today my ICs have arrived. So I soldered one board. This WSON-Package is the smallest IC form factor that I have soldered so far. But the board works! For size comparison: The Capacitors are 0805 SMD types.

PCBs arrived today. I'm still waiting on the IC. The next task will be the soldering. I think this will get a little bit tricky it is so small.
