PRODUCTION DATA.
The sense amplifier gain on the DRV8323, DRV8323R devices and sense resistor value are selected based on the target current range, VREF voltage supply, power rating of the sense resistor, and operating temperature range. In bidirectional operation of the sense amplifier, the dynamic range at the output is approximately calculated as shown in Equation 19.
Use Equation 20 to calculate the approximate value of the selected sense resistor with VO calculated using Equation 19.
From Equation 19 and Equation 20, select a target gain setting based on the power rating of the target sense resistor.
