DRV8842EVM: Max current

Emmett Bradford

Part Number: DRV8842EVM

Hello,

I need to drive much larger current than the ISEN resistor R5=0.2 allows.

I know the limits of the IC.

What are the limits of the EVM?

Can it handle the full 5A continuous?

Thanks,

Emmett

Hi Emmet,

Apologies for late reply. The EVM is capable of handling 5A continuous. The EVMs has a large GND plane which helps dissipate much of the heat.
