SLOA198A September 2014 – December 2021 DRV2665 , DRV2667 , DRV2700 , DRV8662
The peak load current of the DRV8662, DRV2700, DRV2665, or DRV2667 on the OUT+ and OUT– terminals can be approximated using Equation 3.
Symbol | Description | Value | Unit |
---|---|---|---|
CLOAD | Load capacitance | – | F |
VBOOST | Boost voltage | – | V |
fMAX | Maximum output frequency | – | f |
Use the load parameters capacitance, boost voltage (peak output voltage), and maximum output frequency to estimate the peak current required at the load. This provides a rough current approximation that can be used to estimate the inductor size for the boost design.
