8.2.3.3 Heatsinking

The DRV8803DW package uses a standard SOIC outline, but has the center pins internally fused to the die pad to more efficiently remove heat from the device. The two center leads on each side of the package should be connected together to as large a copper area on the PCB as is possible to remove heat from the device. If the copper area is on the opposite side of the PCB from the device, thermal vias are used to transfer the heat between top and bottom layers.

In general, the more copper area that can be provided, the more power can be dissipated.

The DRV8803PWP (HTSSOP package) and the DRV8803DYZ (SOT-23-THN package) uses an exposed thermal pad. The exposed pad removes heat from the device. For proper operation, this pad must be thermally connected to copper on the PCB to dissipate heat. On a multi-layer PCB with a ground plane, this can be accomplished by adding a number of vias to connect the thermal pad to the ground plane. On PCBs without internal planes, copper area can be added on either side of the PCB to dissipate heat. If the copper area is on the opposite side of the PCB from the device, thermal vias are used to transfer the heat between top and bottom layers.
