DRV8711EVM: maximum current at Vmax without cooling

Simon Schlosser

Part Number: DRV8711EVM

I do not find a value for Imax of theDRV8811EVM. The PowerMOSFET is as far as I can see usable up to 60V and 100A but this is approximately only with cooling. Is there a recommended range?

Many Thanks,

Simon

Hi Simon,

The recommended range is limited by the connectors, which are rated to 15A max.

There are no protection circuits around the FETs. If running at high current and using the body diodes, the FETs can be damaged. Please take this into consideration.
