PRODUCTION DATA
Inline sensing of inductive load currents, such as motor phases, provides significant benefits to the performance of a control systems, allowing advanced control algorithms and diagnostics with minimal post-processing. A primary challenge to inline sensing is that the current sensor is subjected to full HV supply-level PWM transients driving the load. The inherent isolation of an in-package Hall-effect current sensor topology helps overcome this challenge, providing high common-mode immunity, as well as isolation between the high-voltage motor drive levels and the low-voltage control circuitry. Figure 9-2 shows the use of the TMCS1127 in such an application, driving the inductive load presented by a three phase motor.
