DRV592

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DRV592

Hello,


I am trying to use a DRV592 to drive a TEC module and getting too little voltage.  The inputs are PWM outputs of an Atmel 328p at 1kHz.  The impedance of the TEC module is ~265 mOhm and the TEC data sheet calls for 1.8V at up to 6A (but I only need 1-2 A).  Looking at the output across the TEC on a scope I see voltage pulses of only about 200 mV.  The pulse width changes with the input, so that seems to be ok. 

When I look at the beginning output pulse on a short time scale, I see that there is a large spike followed by ringing with a period of around 1 microsecond.  That is much faster than the input pulses (1 kHz).  I see the ringing with and without the low pass filters on the output.  I am using the components for the filters from the datasheet, even though my input pulses are much lower than 500 kHz.  What could the problem be?

Thanks
