How come you used the DRV8313 and not the DRV8316 as per Anton’s latest revision?

> Hi guys, I’ve recently done another iteration of the mini board, and I’ve decided to go for the DRV8316 chip this time. As it already has low-side current sensing and a bit better current capacity than DRV8313 or LAN9252 its a great candidate for a minimal starter-kit type of boards. I’ve done a few iterations and the results are pretty good. Here is the comparison to the mini v1.1 Info Mini v2 Mini v1 Driver DRV8316CT - [datasheet](https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/drv8316.pdf) CT version of the DRV8316 with Hardware co…

I didn’t see that message or know about that chip. The 5x better RDSON sounds attractive! Next iteration I’ll do that. So for now these are relatively low-current.

I looked at the datasheets and it looks more like 2.5-3x lower (0.25 vs 0.095).

The datasheets specify them in different ways. One specifies two RDSON resistances on the order of 0.25 separately and the other specifies 100mOhm for both together.

That last one is “easier” as all current flowing through a high-side mosfet will eventually come back and also flow through the lowside as well. So if you have 100mOhm of total resistance and want to use 2A, you can calculate 2A _x 100mOhm = 200mV. So power loss is 2A x 200mV = 400mW. For the 8313 datsheet you first have to add up the resistances._

Really interesting to know, thanks.

I could definitely use these, sent email, via bitwizard.nl

Peepo got his. two left. (I forgot to mention: 1 per person, which surprised peepo a bit.)

Any chance I could get one?

You really need to reply to the PM I sent or figure out my email like peepo did. I can’t start guessing your shipping address.

The DM feature in discourse forum can be a bit hard to find. If you click on your user icon at the top-right and then on the “envelope” icon in the menu that opens you will see your DMs.

To send a new DM just tap on a user and tap the “Message” button in the popup.

Yup! Felipe gave up trying to send me his address….
