Dear Enrico,

In my application, I have a power board (generating 24V, 7V) and control board (contains uC, L6474) connected with cables. I have used 24V for L6474 Power pins and 5V for Microcontroller and Digital logic of L6474. As suggested in datasheets, all ground pins of L6474 (PGND, AGND, DGND) are tied to 24V gnd. Ground track of 5V is rated only for 1Amp whereas 24V ground track is rated for 3A. I'm using a star point connection to connect 24Vgnd and 5V gnd. How to ensure the motor current doesn't take 5V gnd path for return? Please refer the attachment.

Regards

Senthil

Dear Senthil,

The AGND, DGND and PGND of the device are internally connected, so it is not reccomended to connect them to different ground path.

I can only suggest you merging both the grounds in an single line after the star connection.
