9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
9.2.2.1 Current Regulation
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.
