6.3.4 Ratiometric Architecture

The DRV5056 has a ratiometric analog architecture that scales the sensitivity linearly with the power-supply voltage. For example, the sensitivity is 5% higher when VCC = 5.25V compared to VCC = 5V. This behavior enables external ADCs to digitize a more consistent value regardless of the power-supply voltage tolerance, when the ADC uses VCC as the reference.

Equation 3 calculates sensitivity ratiometry error:

Equation 3. DRV5056

where

  • S(VCC) is the sensitivity at the current VCC voltage
  • S(5V) or S(3.3V) is the sensitivity when VCC = 5V or 3.3V
  • VCC is the current VCC voltage
