Modifying STEVAL-ESC001V1 for 80A Peak Current

Hi Sir,

Would it be feasible to achieve an 80A peak current on this board simply by modifying the OCP circuit hardware and the corresponding firmware settings in X-CUBE-MCSDK? Or will thermal constraints and the PCB design itself (e.g., trace width, layout) prevent this from being a viable solution?

( This is considering that the Power MOSFET used on the board, the STL160N4F7, has a much higher pulsed current rating according to its datasheet.)

Thank you.
