frequencies the switching losses inherent in the
drivers start to negativeany of the power dissipa-
tion savings gained withPWM operation.
The current sense amplifier has a minimum slew
rate of 0.31V/
μ
s. With a worst case Motor peak
start-up current of 2.5A and Sense Resistor of
0.33, the resultant R
sense
voltage would be equal
to 825mV. With a minimum gain of 3.8V/V, the
CSA output voltage would have to slew to 3.14V.
Therefore it would require approximately 10
μ
s for
the output voltage to reach the required com-
manded level.
If an ON time were selected that was less than
this time, the motor current would overshoot the
desired level resulting in incorrect current control
possibly exceeding the output capabilities of the
drivers.

5.1.5 Noise Blanking
Referring to Figure 5-8, when operating with
lower levels of current (i.e. < 700mA, with Rsense
= 0.33
), the possibility exiss where the noise
due to output Turn-ON can exceed the Com-
manded Current Level causing prematire Turn-
OFF.
In order to provide noise immunity from this
switching noise, a blanking circuit automatically
rejects any signal appearing at the output of the
CSA for a 3
μ
s period.
Figure 5-9 is an additional block diagram of the
PWM control loop including the noise blanking cir-
cuit. The output of A3 goes high when ever the
voltage at the CSA input is more positive then the
Control Voltage.
This is the case when either the motor current or
the turn-ON transient has reached the com-
manded level. The output of A3 is gates by N11.
