SBASAO0A May 2023 – September 2023 AMC130M03
PRODUCTION DATA
The analog front-end for current measurement is different from the analog front-end for voltage measurement. Figure 9-5 shows the analog front-end used for current measurement at the ADC channel 0, which consists of the shunt resistor RSHUNT and an RC low-pass antialiasing filter (RFILT and CFILT).
For a shunt value of 200 μΩ and a maximum current of IMAX = 100 A, the maximum voltage drop across the shunt is VSHUNT = RSHUNT × IMAX = 200 μΩ × ±100 A = ±20 mV.
To measure this shunt voltage, configure channel 0 of the AMC130M03 for gain = 32, which allows differential voltage measurements of VIN1 = VAIN1P – VAIN1N = ±VREF / 8 = ±1.2 V / 32 = ±37.5 mV. The integrated charge pump in the device allows voltage measurements 1.3 V below HGND while using a unipolar analog power supply. This bipolar voltage measurement capability is important because one side of the shunt is connected to the same ISO_GND potential as the HGND pin of the AMC130M03, which means that the absolute voltage that the device must measure during the current measurement is up to 37.5 mV below HGND.
