DRV8837: OUT pin absolute maximum voltage

Tool/software:

Hello,

I am working on a project using the DRV8837 motor driver. We have a regulated voltage supply (Vm) of 10.5V. During braking, we have observed that the OUT1 and OUT2 pins can experience voltage spikes between 12V and 13V for approximately 20µs.

We would like to know if these voltage spikes pose a risk of stress or damage to the DRV8837. Specifically, we are concerned about the maximum voltage tolerance of the OUT1 and OUT2 pins.

Could you please provide information on:

• The absolute maximum voltage ratings for the OUT1 and OUT2 pins.
• The device's tolerance for short-duration voltage spikes on OUT1 and OUT2 above Vm.
• Any recommendations for mitigating these voltage spikes if they are a concern.

Thank you for your assistance.

Sincerely,

Nicolas
