DRV8703-Q1: Use of the sense resistor

Part Number: DRV8703-Q1

Hi Team,

Is the use of the sense resistor required by the DRV8703-Q1? If it is not, can you please let me know how to configure the SN and SP pins.

thank you,

Jared

  • Hi Jared,

    The sense resistor is not required. If you do not use the sense resistor, connect SN and SP together and to the source of the low-side FET of half-bridge 1.

    From the datasheet: "Ensure that the SP pin is always connected to the source of the low-side FET of half-bridge 1, even when the sense amplifier is not used.".

    SO should be floating.
