DRV8343-Q1: IVCP

Part Number: DRV8343-Q1

Hello, Team

1)

Could you check if my IVCP is calculated?
About MOSFETs
  MOSFET Qg = 30 nC
  fPWM = 1000Hz
  Number of items= 5

From the formula "Trapezoidal 120°Commutation":
  IVCP = 30 nC × 1000Hz × 5 = 0.15mA

Could you tell me if the calculation method is wrong?

2)

If the calculation is correct, the current consumption of IVCP is greater than 0.15 mA (IVCP > 0.15 mA), is it possible that IVCP=10 mA is consumed?
I would like to understand the meaning of the formula IVCP is greater than Qg × PWM.


3)

Also, the datasheet states "IVCP is the charge pump capacity, which depends on the VM pin voltage."

There is no VM terminal voltage parameter in the formula.
How does the VM terminal voltage increase or decrease the IVCP?

best regards
manabu

  • Hi Ishida-san,

    Thank you for you the question. I will aim to provide feedback by the end of this week.

    The calculation is correct. One thing to check here, how many high side FETs are you switching? This would be the "multiplier" mentioned in the data sheet. In your calculation the number of high side FETs is 5.

    As long as your Ivcp is less than the 25mA recommended operating conditions (image above) this will allow you to properly switch your FETs. The relationship between VM and IVCP can be seen below, as VM increase IVCP increases and vice versa.
