Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the DRV8881PPWPR are determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Motor type support (Bipolar stepper and brushed DC capability)
• Output configuration (Half Bridge with 4 channels)
• Parallel interface architecture
• Power MOSFET technology
• Output current rating (1.4A)
• Supply and load voltage range (6.5V ~ 45V)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 150°C)
• Package specification (28-PowerTSSOP)
• Surface mount mounting type
• RoHS3 compliance and MSL rating

The DRV8881EPWPR meets all these criteria and is classified as a parametric equivalent. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, mechanical packaging, and compliance certifications, enabling direct substitution in circuit designs.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the DRV8881PPWPR and DRV8881EPWPR are Active product status components manufactured by Texas Instruments. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Inventory availability and lead time requirements
• Supply chain sourcing preferences
• Cost considerations where applicable
• Compliance certification requirements (both meet ROHS3 and REACH standards)

The parametric equivalence of these parts ensures that either component can be selected without modification to circuit design, PCB layout, or firmware implementation. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance characteristics and mechanical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DRV8881EPWPR be used as a direct replacement for DRV8881PPWPR?

A: Yes. The DRV8881EPWPR is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical specifications, output configuration, voltage ratings, current capability, operating temperature range, and package specification. No circuit modifications are required.
