8.2.2.2 Current Shunt Amplifier Configuration

The DRV8106-Q1 differential shunt amplifier gain and shunt resistor value are selected based on the dynamic current range, reference voltage supply, shunt resistor power rating, and operating temperature range. In bidirectional operation of the shunt amplifier, the dynamic range at the output is approximately calculated as shown in Equation 9. The output of the amplifier can swing from the midpoint reference (VAREF / 2) to either 0.25 V or VAREF - 0.25V depending on the polarity of the input voltage to the amplifer.

Equation 9. VSO_BI = (VAREF - 0.25 V) - (VAREF / 2)

If only unidirectional current sensing is required, the amplifier reference can be modified to expand the dynamic range at the output. The is modified through the CSA_DIV SPI register setting. In this mode, the dynamic range at the output is approximately calculated as shown in Equation 10.

Equation 10. VSO_UNI = (VAREF - 0.25 V) - (VAREF / 8)

Based on VAREF = 3.3 V, the dynamic out range in both bidirectional or unidirectional sensing can be calculated as shown below.

Equation 11. VSO_BI = (3.3 V - 0.25 V) - (3.3 V / 2) = 1.4 V
Equation 12. VSO_UNI = (3.3 V - 0.25 V) - (3.3 V / 8) = 2.6375 V

The external shunt resistor value andDRV8106-Q1 shunt amplifier gain setting are selected based on the available dynamic output range, the shunt resistor power rating, and maximum motor current that needs to be measured. This exact values for the shunt resistance and amplifier gain are determine by both Equation 13 and Equation 14.

Equation 13. RSHUNT < PSHUNT / IMAX2
Equation 14. AV < VSO / (IMAX x RSHUNT)

Based on VSO = 1.4 V, IMAX = 25 A and PSHUNT = 3 W, the values for shunt resistance and amplifier gain can be calculated as shown below.

Equation 15. RSHUNT < 3 W / 252 A = 4.8 mΩ
Equation 16. AV < 1.4 V / (25 A x 4.8 mΩ) = 11.67 V/V

Based on the results, a shunt resistance of 4 mΩ and an amplifier gain of 10 V/V can be selected.
