DRV8316-Q1: The location and direction of current sensing

Part Number: DRV8316-Q1

Hi, 

■ Question 1
Which is SOX detecting, current path A or current path B?
Both can be grasped from the data sheet, so I would like to confirm it just in case.

■ Question 2
Regarding Question 1, is it okay to recognize that ± of the SoX voltage conversion formula is determined by the direction of the current?

Thanks,

Astro

  • Hi Astro,

    Thanks for reaching out!

    Which is SOX detecting, current path A or current path B?

    SOx is detecting current path B. 

    Regarding Question 1, is it okay to recognize that ± of the SoX voltage conversion formula is determined by the direction of the current?

    That is correct. Figure 8-28 in the data sheet shows the SOx output voltage corresponding to the positive or negative IoutX input. 

    Let me know if my response has resolved your questions!
