Motor Current Set Range is determined by the built-in resistor value, RSInt. For PR products, pay extra
attention to the change-over between the motor current specification range, IMO, and the Sleep1 Set Range.
VOCP falls on the "prohibition zone" threshold. If the change-over time is too slow, OCP operation would
start when VSInt > VOCP .
