Description

The DRV8711 is a stepper motor controller that uses external N-channel MOSFETs to drive a bipolar stepper motor or two brushed DC motors. A microstepping indexer is integrated, which is capable of step modes from full step to 1/256-step.

An ultra-smooth motion profile can be achieved using adaptive blanking time and various current decay modes, including an auto-mixed decay mode. Motor stall is reported with an optional back-EMF output.

A simple step/direction or PWM interface allows easy interfacing to controller circuits. A SPI serial interface is used to program the device operation. Output current (torque), step mode, decay mode,and stall detection functio ns are all programmable via a SPI serial interface.

Features

  • Supports full-step to 1/256 microstepping resolution
  • External N-channel MOSFET gate driver architecture for high power scalability
  • Programmable PWM current regulation with internal torque DAC
  • Multiple decay modes including slow, fast, and automatic mixed decay
  • Adaptive blanking time for improved current regulation accuracy
  • SPI interface for full configuration control
  • Step/Direction and PWM input control options
  • Integrated stall detection with optional back-EMF (BEMF) output

Design Notes

  • Requires careful MOSFET selection (low RDS(on), fast switching) for efficiency and thermal performance
  • Current sensing resistors determine peak motor current; layout must minimize noise and parasitics
  • Proper configuration of decay mode is critical for minimizing current ripple and acoustic noise
  • SPI initialization sequence must be completed before enabling motor outputs
  • Use proper gate drive layout and bootstrap/charge pump capacitors for stable operation

How to Choose This Part

  • Select when high current or high voltage stepper control is required using external MOSFETs
  • Ideal for applications needing fine microstepping (up to 1/256)
  • Suitable when SPI configurability and advanced tuning are required
  • Prefer over integrated drivers when thermal dissipation or scalability is critical

Applications

  • Stepper motor control in industrial equipment
  • Robotics and automation systems
  • Precision positioning and motion control
  • Medical instrumentation

Alternative / Equivalent Products

  • DRV8701 (brushed DC motor driver variant)
  • DRV8825 (integrated stepper driver)
  • TMC5160 (Trinamic high-end stepper driver)
  • A4988 (basic integrated stepper driver)

LQP03T datasheet

Description

The LQP03T series is an ultra-miniature RF chip inductor developed by Murata, utilizing thin-film technology to achieve exceptional high-frequency performance in a compact 0603 (0.6 × 0.3 mm) package. It is specifically engineered for RF circuits in space-constrained applications such as mobile devices, where high Q factor, tight tolerance, and stable characteristics are critical.

The past few years have seen the growing popularity of compact, slim mobile phones. High-end handset models, which are usually multi-functional, come with highquality picture LCD panels and camera modules. This has led manufacturers to scale down the sizes of the radio frequency (RF) block, and modules including power amplifier and voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO).

Consequently, the sizes of the high-frequency inductors used in mobile phones and modules also need to be scaled down to miniature levels. To meet this demand for ultra-small high-frequency inductors, Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is mass-producing and supplying the LQP03T film-type 0603-sized (0.6 ×0.3mm) high-frequency chip

Features

  • Ultra-small size
  • Thin-film construction for precise inductance control
  • High Q factor for efficient RF performance
  • Excellent high-frequency characteristics
  • Tight inductance tolerance
  • Low DC resistance (DCR)
  • Stable performance across frequency and temperature
  • Suitable for automated high-density PCB assembly

Technology Insight

  • Built using Murata’s proprietary thin-film and micro-fabrication technology
  • Provides superior dimensional accuracy compared to wire-wound inductors
  • Enables consistent RF characteristics across production batches
  • Optimized for GHz-range operation where parasitics dominate performance

Design Notes

  • Ideal for impedance matching networks in RF front-end circuits
  • High SRF allows usage in GHz frequency bands (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, LTE)
  • Placement and PCB layout are critical—minimize parasitic capacitance and coupling
  • Avoid proximity to ground planes or high-current traces that may degrade Q factor
  • Select inductance value based on matching network or resonance requirements

Advantages vs Conventional Inductors

  • Smaller footprint than wire-wound inductors
  • Better high-frequency performance
  • Lower variation in inductance and Q
  • Higher integration capability in dense RF modules

Alternative / Equivalent Products

  • LQG03 series – Multilayer RF chip inductors (Murata)
  • LQP02 series – Even smaller 0402 thin-film inductors
  • HK1005 series – TDK high-frequency inductors
  • 0402CS series – Coilcraft RF chip inductors
  • GLFR series – Taiyo Yuden RF inductors

Typical Applications

  • RF matching circuits (antenna, PA, LNA)
  • Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCO)
  • RF filters and tuning circuits
  • Mobile phones and wearable devices
  • Wireless communication modules (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS)
  • High-frequency signal routing in compact electronics
