DRV8243-Q1: Clamping energy information

Part Number: DRV8243-Q1

What is the maximum clamping energy (Joules) that the device can withstand when switching inductive loads.?

  • Hey Vishnu,

    Our devices typically have maximum voltage and current that the device can withstand.  If the voltage goes beyond VM_MAX (40V) then it can damage the device, or if the current exceeds the OCP current+time it can damage the device.  As far as I know we don't have a joule spec. 

    Regards,
