SI-7300A - Unipolar Driver ICs - Sanken electric
Application Note
n Determining the output
current IO (motor coil current)
The output current, lo is fixed by the following circuit elements:
RS : Current detection resistor
VCC2 : Supply voltage
RX : Variable current resistor
To operate a motor at maximum current level, set Rx =
infinity (open). Based on the specifications of SI-7300A, its
output current lo can be seen as:
lo (rms value): 535 to 625 mA
To compute lo when different values are used for Rs and
VCC2, use the approximation formula below. The maximum
ripple value IOH of the output current waveform can be
computed as follows:
