drv8874

How should I handle GND and PGND when using the DRV8874 provide 0.5A current, on a very small PCB with a microcontroller? The datasheet recommends tying both grounds together, but board space is extremely limited. Is it better to keep separate planes with a single connection point, or use one...

Ive been working on a project revolving around RC control using an Arduino Nano, a custom PCB and a DRV8874 Motor Driver. The custom PCB utilises 2N2222 transistors to control components with an external battery (Li Ion 4S) with paired 1K resistors. A 47µF capacitor is used for decoupling and...
