DRV5023AJEDBZRQ1 datasheet by Texas Instruments

DRV5023AJEDBZRQ1 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal performance?
  Texas Instruments provides a recommended PCB layout in the DRV5023 application note (SLVAE67). It's essential to follow the layout guidelines to minimize noise, ensure proper thermal dissipation, and optimize the device's performance.
• How do I choose the correct sense resistor value for my application?
  The sense resistor value depends on the desired current sense accuracy, the maximum current to be measured, and the voltage supply. TI provides a sense resistor calculation tool (SWRA634) to help determine the optimal value. Additionally, the datasheet provides guidelines for selecting the sense resistor.
• What is the maximum allowed voltage on the VCC pin?
  The maximum allowed voltage on the VCC pin is 5.5V. Exceeding this voltage can damage the device. It's essential to ensure the voltage supply is within the recommended operating range of 4.5V to 5.5V.
• How do I handle overcurrent protection and fault detection?
  The DRV5023 has built-in overcurrent protection and fault detection features. The device provides an FAULT pin that indicates an overcurrent or overtemperature condition. The datasheet provides details on how to configure and respond to fault events.
• What is the thermal impedance of the DRV5023 package?
  The thermal impedance of the DRV5023AJEDBZRQ1 package (QFN-16) is 24.5°C/W (junction-to-ambient) and 10.5°C/W (junction-to-case). This information is essential for thermal design and heat sink selection.
