7.3.3 Current Sense and Regulation

The DRV887x family of devices integrate current sensing, regulation, and feedback. These features allow for the device to sense the output current without an external sense resistor or sense circuitry reducing system size, cost, and complexity. This also allows for the devices to limit the output current in the case of motor stall or high torque events and give detailed feedback to the controller about the load current through a current proportional output.
