The PWM chopping current in each bridge is set by a comparator which compares the voltage across a current
sense resistor connected to the ISEN pin, multiplied by a factor of 5, with a reference voltage. The reference
voltage is input from the xVREF pins, and is scaled by a 5-bit DAC that allows current settings of zero to 100% in
an approximately sinusoidal sequence.
The full-scale (100%) chopping current is calculated in Equation 1.

Example:
If a 0.25-Ω sense resistor is used and the VREFx pin is 2.5 V, the full-scale (100%) chopping current will be
2.5 V / (5 x 0.25 Ω) = 2 A.
Five input pins (I0 - I4) are used to scale the current in the bridge as a percentage of the full-scale current set by
the VREF input pin and sense resistance. The I0 - I4 pins have internal pulldown resistors of approximately 100
kΩ. The function of the pins is shown in Table 3.
