3.3.4 Phase-Current Measurements

This section shows the phase-current measurement performance generating an open loop rotating field for the motor control.

Figure 3-27 shows the motor current (CH4 in green) and the current-sense amplifier output voltage (CH1 in deep blue) of the INA241 measurements in B-phase. The switching node voltage is also shown (CH2 in light blue).

Figure 3-28 shows the sinusoidal-like waveform output of the INA241. Obvious distortions of the sine wave are displayed as the system is running in open loop. Figure 3-28 shows the common-mode performance of the INA241.

This measurement captures the worst-case scenario of the settling time of the amplifier. Observe that a maximum settling time of around 1.0μs can be expected.
