8.2.2.2 Drive Current

The current path is through the high-side sourcing DMOS power driver, motor winding, and low-side sinking DMOS power driver. Power dissipation losses in one source and sink DMOS power driver are shown in Equation 2.

Equation 2. DRV8872-Q1 eq_Pd_SLVSCY8.gif

The DRV8872-Q1 device has been measured to be capable of 2-A RMS current at 25°C on standard FR-4 PCBs. The maximum RMS current varies based on the PCB design, ambient temperature, and PWM frequency. Typically, switching the inputs at 200 kHz compared to 20 kHz causes 20% more power loss in heat.
