ZHCSCX5A October 2014 – November 2015 DRV8848
PRODUCTION DATA.
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
The DRV8848 is used in stepper or brushed DC motor control.
The user can configure the DRV8848 with the following design procedure.
Table 4 gives design input parameters for system design.
DESIGN PARAMETER | REFERENCE | EXAMPLE VALUE |
---|---|---|
Nominal supply voltage | VVM | 12 V |
Supply voltage range | 4 to 18 V | |
Motor winding resistance | RL | 3 Ω/phase |
Motor winding inductance | LL | 330 µH/phase |
Target chopping current | ICHOP | 500 mA |
Chopping current reference voltage | VVREF | 3.3 V |
The chopping current (ICHOP) is the maximum current driven through either winding. This quantity depends on the sense resistor value (RXISEN).
ICHOP is set by a comparator which compares the voltage across RXISEN to a reference voltage. Note that ICHOP must follow Equation 3 to avoid saturating the motor.
