Outputs: Qxn (x=A;B n=1;2)

The comparator, which is monitoring current image of HS, is working during ON cycle of PWM

control. If load current is higher as set value then the signal ILIMIT is generated and after filter

time the bridge is switched off. Test mode gets access to signal ILIMIT and threshold of current

can be measured.

Table 12.

Outputs: Qxn (x=A;B n=1;2)

otherwise specified. The voltages are referred to GND and currents are assumed positive,

when the current flows into the pin

Note: 1 Current profile has to pre set with I4 I3 I2 I1 I0 = 11111 and load to register 1 .

Output current limit IQxnLIM is product of full scale current |IQxnFS_ | ( bits DC2 DC1 DC0)

and value of DAC

PhaseA/B ( bits I4 I3 I2 I1 I0) in register1.

Values of DAC Phase A and B can read out and depends on set up done before:

1.

direction DIR , stepping mode ST1 ST0 and phase counter P4 P3 P2 P1 P0 in register 0

and

2.

value of corresponding current profile (for address of current profile entry see also

Figure 3).
