DRV8873-Q1: Rsense calculation

Part Number: DRV8873-Q1


Hi,

In page 41 of datasheet. Itrip is shown set as 6.5A and Iipropi is 1/1100 and max voltage can be 5V so Rsense should be 700R but it is shown as 1.5K. is my calculation correct or should i Use 1.5K only

  • Ajay,

    That application's Motor RMS current is 2.5A. It doesn't use the internal current regulation threshold Itrip to do the current regulation. The Itrip setting is higher than 2.5A to avoid a false trigger. That is my understanding.
