PRODUCTION DATA
The DRV8962-Q1 supports four IPROPI outputs, one for each half-bridge. The IPROPI outputs represent the current of each high-side MOSFET, as shown below -
Where IHS is the current flowing through the high-side MOSFET and AIPROPI is the current mirror gain.
Each IPROPI pin should be connected to an external resistor (RIPROPI) to ground in order to generate a proportional voltage (VIPROPI) on the IPROPI pin. This allows the current to be measured as the voltage drop across the RIPROPI resistor with a standard analog to digital converter (ADC). The RIPROPI resistor can be sized based on the expected load current in the application so that the full range of the controller ADC is utilized. The device implements an internal clamp circuit to limit VIPROPI with respect to VVREF on the VREF pin and protect the external ADC in case of output overcurrent or unexpected high current events. The IPROPI voltage should be less than the maximum recommended value of VREF, which is 3.3 V.
The corresponding IPROPI voltage to the output current can be calculated as shown below -
The AERR parameter in the Electrical Characteristics table is the error associated with the AIPROPI gain. It indicates the combined effect of offset error added to the IOUT current and gain error.
