Texas Instruments provides a recommended PCB layout in the DRV594VFP evaluation module documentation, which includes guidelines for component placement, routing, and thermal management to ensure optimal performance and minimize EMI.
The DRV594VFP datasheet provides a component selection guide, but it's also recommended to use the TI Power Stage Designer tool, which helps to select the optimal external components based on the specific application requirements and operating conditions.
Although the datasheet specifies a recommended operating voltage range for VCC, it's essential to note that the absolute maximum rating for VCC is 18V, and exceeding this voltage can cause permanent damage to the device.
The DRV594VFP has a built-in overcurrent protection feature, but it's recommended to also implement external overcurrent protection using a sense resistor and a comparator or a dedicated overcurrent protection IC to ensure robust protection against overcurrent conditions.
The thermal derating curve for the DRV594VFP is not explicitly provided in the datasheet, but it can be obtained by contacting Texas Instruments' technical support or by using the TI Thermal Calculator tool, which provides a thermal derating curve based on the specific application conditions.
