7.3.1.3 Full-Scale Current Rating

The full-scale current describes the top of the sinusoid current waveform while microstepping. Since the sineusoid amplitude is related to the rms current, the full-scale current is also determined by the thermal considerations of the IC. The full-scale current rating is approximately √2 × Irms. The full-scale current is set by VREF, the sense resistor, and Torque DAC when configuring the DRV8880 , see Current Regulation for details. For the DRV8880, the full-scale current rating is 2.0 A per bridge.
