NOTE
Immediately after the current is enabled, the voltage on the SP pin is ignored for a period
(t(BLANK)) before enabling the current-sense circuitry.
The PWM chopping current is set by a comparator that compares the voltage across a current-sense resistor
connected to the SP pin, multiplied by a factor of AV, with a reference voltage from the VREF pin. The factor AV
is the shunt-amplifier gain, which is 19.8 V/V for the DRV8702D-Q1 device or configurable to 10, 19.8, 39.4, or
78 V/V for the DRV8703D-Q1 device.
Use Equation 1 to calculate the chopping current (ICHOP).

For example, if a 50-mΩ sense resistor and a VREF value of 3.3 V are selected, the full-scale chopping current
is 3.28 A. The AV is 19.8 V/V and VIO is assumed to be 50 mV in this example.
NOTE
If the load is connected between the SH pin and VM and current regulation is enabled
(MODE pin is Hi-Z), the low-side FET is switched on when the current flowing through the
load exceeds the ICHOP threshold. This result in an adverse effect by driving the load at
100% duty cycle because the maximum current flows through the load as the low-side
FET remains switched on for the tOFF duration. Texas Instruments recommends using the
PWM control interface without current regulation (MODE pin is 1) for this configuration to
drive the load.
For DC motors, current regulation is used to limit the start-up and stall current of the motor. If the current
regulation feature is not needed, it can be disabled by tying the VREF pin directly to the AVDD pin. If the PWM
control-interface mode without current regulation (MODE pin is 1) is selected for operation, the device does not
perform PWM current regulation or current chopping.
7.3.5 Amplifier Output (SO)
The SO pin on the DRV870xD-Q1 device outputs an analog voltage equal to the voltage across the SP and SN
pins multiplied by AV. The SO voltage is only valid for when the load is connected in the way shown in Figure 31.
Use Equation 2 to calculate the approximate current for the half-bridge.

When the SP and SN voltages are 0 V, the SO pin outputs the amplifier offset voltage, VIO. No capacitor is
required on the SO pin.
