DRV8242HQRHLRQ1 is a 20-pin automotive H-bridge driver for brushed DC motors and solenoids, with integrated current feedback and protection.

Best for

  • Automotive brushed DC motor control
  • Bidirectional solenoid or inductive-load drive
  • Body electronics requiring integrated current feedback

Avoid if

  • Applications requiring more than the device thermal and current capability
  • Systems requiring SPI-based configuration or detailed register diagnostics

Check before use

  • Motor stall current and junction temperature
  • VM surge and reverse-energy behavior
  • IPROPI resistor and optional capacitor selection
  • Required fault response behavior
