Charge pump
The charge pump generates a supply voltage about 10 V higher than the system supply voltage
Vbat (Vpump = Vbat + 10 V) to drive the gate of the external high side power FET switch.
In the case of the min. supply voltage Vbat = 6 V, the pumped voltage Vpump is about 11 V.
The load current of the external capacitors Cp1 and Cp2 is limited to max. 40 mA to prevent RF
emissions by high current peaks.

Motor current measurement unit
The motor measurement unit works with an external current measurement resistor in the high
side motor line. The nominal measurement differential voltage (V
CMp
– V
CMn
)
nom
is fixed to
50 mV (corresponding to 100% of the motor current). So the value of this measurement resistor
is given by R
meas
= 50 mV / I
motor_nom
.
The over current detection is fixed by a motor current 60 % over the nominal motor current
(I
motor_over
= 1.6 * I
motor_nom
). The switch off of the motor in case of an over current (or short circuit
of the motor) is realised in less than 2
μ
s.
