Dear Motor Expert,
I'm using drv10983 to run a fan, the fan runs well. Can i read the phase current of U,V and w through I2C?
Thanks.

Hi!
Thanks for posting your question in E2E forum. Yes, the motor current can be read in register addresses 0x17 and 0x18 where 0x17 contains the 8 MSB (MotorCurrent1) and 0x18 contains the 8 LSB (MotorCurrent2) of a 16-bit value indicating the motor current.
Motor current could be calculated by the following equation:
Motor current (A) = 3A * ({ MotorCurrent1: MotorCurrent2} – 1023)/2048.
For example:
Motor Current1= 0x05;
Motor Current2= 0xFF;
Motor current (A) = 3A * (0x05FF –0x03ff) * 2048 = 0.75A
Regards,
Vishnu.
