these data refer to a typical application, and will be used as an example during the analysis
of the stability of the current control loop.
The block diagram shows the schematics of the L6258 internal current control loop working
in PWM mode; the current into the load is a function of the input control voltage V
the relation between the two variables is given by the following formula:
where:
V
G
G
R
In this configuration the input voltage is compared with the feedback voltage coming from
the sense resistor, then the difference between this two signals is amplified by the error
amplifier in order to have an error signal controlling the duty cycle of the output stage
keeping the load current under control.
It is clear that to have a good performance of the current control loop, the error amplifier
must have an high DC gain and a large bandwidth.
