Winding current rise and decay shaping is based upon the sensed magnitude of the winding current, the magnitude of the winding current regulation set-point ITRIP, whether the sensed winding current is greater than or less than ITRIP at a selected sampling time, whether the sensed winding current is increasing or decreasing when a waveform of the sensed winding current crosses over ITRIP, and whether or not the magnitude of ITRIP changes during a PWM cycle in response to a receipt of a subsequent DAC code. | 01-15-2015 |
