PRODUCTION DATA
The DRV8434A-Q1 operates with smart tune ripple control decay mode, which uses only slow decay during PWM current regulation. The PWM regulation current is set by a comparator which monitors the voltage across the current sense MOSFETs in parallel with the low-side power MOSFETs. The current sense MOSFETs are biased with a reference current that is the output of a current-mode sine-weighted DAC whose full-scale reference current is set by the voltage at the VREF pin.
The full-scale regulation current (IFS) can be calculated as IFS (A) = VREF (V) / KV (V/A) = VREF (V) / 1.32 (V/A).
During PWM current chopping, the H-bridge is enabled to drive a current through the motor winding until the PWM current chopping threshold is reached. Thereafter, the winding current is re-circulated by enabling both low-side MOSFETs of the H-bridge.
