7.3.1 Output Drivers

The DRV8803 device contains four protected low-side drivers. Each output has an integrated clamp diode connected to a common pin, VCLAMP.

VCLAMP can be connected to the main power supply voltage, VM. VCLAMP can also be connected to a Zener or TVS diode to VM, allowing the switch voltage to exceed the main supply voltage VM. This connection can be beneficial when driving loads that require very fast current decay, such as unipolar stepper motors.

In all cases, the voltage on the outputs must not be allowed to exceed the maximum output voltage specification.
