The DRV81646-Q1 is a 4.5V to 65V, four-channel low-side driver with 140mΩ RDS(ON) per switch. An integrated freewheeling diode on each channel connects to the VCLAMP pin, enabling current recirculation or fast inductive load turn-off via an external TVS diode.

Control is available via hardware GPIO or 4-wire SPI. Each channel includes independent overtemperature protection. A single resistor on the ILIM pin globally sets the analog current limit threshold across all channels; an optional cut-off delay (COD) limits overcurrent event duration. Output slew rate is also set globally via the RSLEW/CNTL pin. An INRUSH mode temporarily raises the current limit threshold for capacitive load startup.

An nFAULT output pin indicates fault conditions. In SPI mode, per-channel fault status registers allow rapid fault identification and response.

Evaluation board

DRV81646DGQEVM — DRV81646 evaluation module (DGQ package)

The DRV81x4x evaluation module (EVM) allows for evaluation of the DRV81545, DRV81646, and DRV81646DGQ devices. The EVM has been programmed to work out of the box and begin driving loads right away. To simplify control and configuration, the EVM is accompanied by a graphical user interface (GUI) (...)
