SBOS786B April 2016 – April 2022 INA301-Q1
PRODUCTION DATA
If the current level indicating an out-of-range condition is present is 20 A, and the current-sense resistor value is 10 mΩ, then the input threshold signal is 200 mV. The INA301A1-Q1 has a gain of 20, therefore, the resulting output voltage at the 20-A input condition is 4 V. The value for RLIMIT is selected to allow the device to detect to this 20-A threshold, indicating an overcurrent event occurred. When the INA301-Q1 detects this out-of-range condition, the ALERT pin asserts and pulls low. For this example, Table 7-2 lists the calculated value of RLIMIT required to detect a 4-V level as 50 kΩ.
PARAMETER | EQUATION | |
---|---|---|
VTRIP | VOUT at the desired current trip value | ILOAD × RSENSE x Gain ↓ 20 A x 10 mΩ x 20 V/V = 4 V |
VLIMIT | Threshold limit voltage | VLIMIT = VTRIP |
ILIMIT × RLIMIT | ||
RLIMIT | Threshold limit-setting resistor value | VLIMIT / ILIMIT ↓ 4 V / 80 µA = 50 kΩ |
