PRODUCTION DATA

In closed-loop mode, the DRV2624 device provides automatic overdrive and braking for both ERM and LRA devices. Positive values indicate that acceleration is desired. Negative values and 0 indicate that braking is desired.
The reference level for steady-state full-scale drive is set by the RATED_VOLTAGE[7:0] bit (when auto-calibration is performed). The output voltage can momentarily exceed the rated voltage for automatic overdrive and braking, but does not exceed the OD_CLAMP[7:0] voltage. Braking occurs automatically based on the input signal when the back-EMF feedback determines that braking is necessary.
In the event that the user is concerned that the overdrive time can be too high for a particular actuator, the OD_CLAMP_TIME[1:0] can be used to limit the amount of time spent in over-drive mode (a voltage above the rated voltage). If the overdrive time is exceeded and the DRV2624 device is still attempting to overdrive the actuator, a new clamp is enforced, which is specified in the RATED_VOLTAGE_CLAMP[7:0] parameter, which is enforced until a brake signal is received. During braking, the device is allowed to overdrive for the time specified in the OD_CLAMP_TIME[1:0], and, if exceeded, the RATED_VOLTAGE_CLAMP[7:0] is enforced. This feature maintains that the actuator is not overdriven continuously for longer than desired.
