9.2.2.1.1 Stall Detection Timing

Large inrush current occurs during motor start up because motor speed is low. As the motor accelerates, the motor current drops to an average level because the back electromotive force (EMF) in the motor increases with speed. The inrush current should not be mistaken for a stall condition, so the DRV8235 uses the TINRUSH register to ignore the inrush current during the startup time, tINRUSH. Section 7.3.5 describes the overall details for using the stall detection feature.

When designing for the tINRUSH time, it is important to include enough margin to account for tolerances and variation in the DRV8235 and the system overall.
