Clamping Mechanisms

When current load increases, destructive voltage transients can be observed. These transients are usually

prevalent during dead time, when current must find an asynchronous path (e.g. FET body diodes) to continue

its flow. Controlling these transients is of utmost importance to protect both the power switches as well as the

PAC5532 pre drive power stage block.

The PAC5532EVK1 evaluation module already incorporates a series of clamps put in place to protect the

DRSx terminal from negative transients at the phase outputs. However, under high current scenarios, it is

plausible to see large positive transients. It is recommended to place a similar diode from DRS to VM in order

to clamp the PHASE output to VM.
