DRV8906-Q1: Application issues of chips

Part Number: DRV8906-Q1

How much margin does overcurrent protection need to be left after multi-channel parallel connection? How is the consistency of current in each channel after parallel connection? Do you have any relevant documents or data explanations

  • Hello,

    The deglitch time, tOCP, is to be less than 10-us during parallel mode operation. 

    The current is slit evenly between each channel, due to the same RDSon of the half-bridges. 

    See section 8.3.1.1.3 for more on parallel modes during continuous operation.

    To avoid any chance of triggering an OCP event during any possible channel-to-channel delay, map the parallel channels to the same PWM channel. 

    See section 8.3.1.1.4 Parallel Mode (PWM Operation) for more on single PWM channel mapping details.

    Best,

    David
