Because power resistors are larger and more expensive than standard resistors, it is common practice to use
multiple standard resistors in parallel, between the sense node and ground. This distributes the current and heat
dissipation.
8.2.2.4 Low Power Operation
Under normal operation, using sleep mode to minimize supply current should be sufficient.
If desired, power can be removed to the DRV8832-Q1 to further decrease supply current. TI recommends to
remove power to the FAULTn pullup resistor when removing power to the DRV8832-Q1. Removing power from
the FAULTn pullup resistor will eliminate a current path from the FAULTn pin through an ESD protection diode to
VCC. TI recommends to set both IN1 and IN2 as a logic low when power is removed.
8.2.3 Application Curves
The following scope captures show how the output duty cycle changes to as VCC increases. This allows the
motor to spin at a constant speed as VCC changes. At VCC = 3.9 V, the output duty cycle is 100% on. As the
VCC voltage increases to greater than 4 V, the output duty cycle begins to decrease. The output duty cycle is
shown at VCC = 4.5 V, VCC = 5 V and VCC = 5.5 V.
