PRODUCTION DATA.
The maximum current (ITRIP) is set by the TRQ pins, the xVREF analog voltage, and the sense resistor value (RSENSE). In parallel mode the winding current is set by AVREF only and BVREF is ignored. When starting a brushed-DC motor, a large inrush current may occur because there is no back-EMF. Current regulation will act to limit this inrush current and prevent high current on startup.
Example: If the desired regulation current is 2 A | ||
Set RSENSE = 100 mΩ, assume TRQ = 100%. | ||
AVREF would have to be 1.32 V. | ||
Create a resistor divider from V3P3 (3.3 V) to set AVREF ≈ 1.32 V: Set R2 = 10 kΩ, set R1 = 15 kΩ |
