SLVSD19A June 2015 – July 2015 DRV8881
PRODUCTION DATA.
The full-scale current for a stepper motor describes the top of the sinusoid current waveform while stepping. 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 xVREF, the sense resistor, and Torque DAC when configuring the DRV8881. For the DRV8881, the full-scale current rating is 2.0 A per bridge.
