Setting the Output Current
The IM483 uses an internal 1 milliamp current source to establish the reference
voltage needed to control the output current. This voltage is programmed by
means of an external 1/8 watt or higher, 1 percent resistor connected between
P2:2 (Current Adjust) and P2:3 (Power Ground).
The relationship between the output current and the current adjust resistor
value is expressed as follows:
Output Current = .002 X Resistor Value (Ω)
This resistor MUST be in place for the driver to operate! A fault condition will
occur and may be accompanied by driver damage if the IM483 is powered in an
enabled state without this resistor in place.
Figure 7.2 illustrates the connection of this resistor. Table 7.1 lists the resistor
values for the driver output current in 200 milliamp increments.
NOTE: Resistor leads should
be as short as possible to
minimize the amount of noise
coupled into the driver!
