DRV8801: Brushed DC motor with Stall detect;

Part Number:DRV8801

Hello,

We are looking for support to recommend a BDC with the below spec's

Our requirements are:

Integrated H bridge

Vm = 12V

Ipk = 0.8A

We'll be driving the motor to close and open a shutter, we’ll be driving the motor into an end stop.

We need a way of detecting the motor has stalled; The DRV8801 has VPROPI output which is being considered. (We're expecting the current to shoot up when the motor has stalled. is this right?).

However can you suggest an alternative solution with stall detection ?

As we will be mechanically stopping the motor, is there a preferred decay mode ? (i.e. would fast decay be preferable ?)

Many thanks

Linda
