Selection of sense resistors and reference voltage
Note: maximum rating (0.5 V) on the SENSE1 and SENSE2 pins is not exceeded.
The
maximum value of current limiting is set by the selection of Rsx and
the voltage at the VREF pin. The transconductance function is
approximated by the maximum value of current limiting, ITripMAX (A),
which is set by
ITripMAX = Vref / ( 8 %D7 Rs )
where Rs is the resistance of the sense resistor (Ω) and Vref is the input voltage on the REF pin (V).
We assume that the maximum current we need is 0.5 amp per phase.
V = IR %A0=> V = 0.5*Rs for each phase.
Assuming Rs is 0.5 Ω, V = 0.25 V < 0.5 (less than maximum rating on the SENSE1 and SENSE2 pins).
Since Rs = 0.5 Ω and ITripMAX = 0.5 amps,
0.5 = Vref / (8 x 0.5)
=:> Vref = 0.5 * 4 = 2V
We can make a voltage divider with Rtop 10K and Rbottom 7K.
