CALCULATING CURRENT CONSUMPTION
Rev E2, Page 19/28
Interface Mode (SEL = LOW)
The current consumption of the iC-PV can be config-
ured by parameter A_MAX. Besides the current con-
sumption, this parameter sets the maximum angle ac-
celeration (from shaft halt) supported by the iC-PV
in the respective configuration. The relationship be-
tween maximum acceleration and current consump-
tion is shown in Table 20. For accelerations below
48 · 103rad/s2, the typical current consumption lies be-
low 10 µA.
For applications were only sporadic motor movement is
expected during battery supply, Table 20 mainly defines
the current consumed by iC-PV. Additionally, Table 21
gives typical values in case of enduring movement at a
certain angular velocity.

Table 21: Average current consumption vs. angular velocity. Typical values for V(VBAT) = 3.6 V, Ta = 25 °C and
V(PRE) < 0.5 V.
Parallel Encoder Mode (SEL = HIGH)
The current consumption in parallel encoder mode is di-
rectly proportional to the sampling frequency, fs. Lower
sampling frequencies use less current and higher fre-
quencies use more current. The typical mean value
of current consumed by iC-PV, is calculated as shown
below (V(VBAT) = 3.6 V, Tj = 25 °C) :
Iavg[µA] = 25 · fs[kHz]
For instance, at a sampling frequency of 1 000 samples
per second, fs = 1 kHz and I = 25 µA. At 100 samples
per second, I = 2.5 µA.
