Resistor-Controlled Current Limit

The typical approach to set the limit threshold voltage is to connect resistors from the two LIMITx pins to ground. The voltage developed across the RLIMIT1, RLIMIT2 resistors represents the desired fault current value at which the corresponding ALERTx pin becomes active. The values for the RLIMIT1, RLIMIT2 resistors are calculated using Equation 3:

Equation 3. INA302 INA303 q_rlimit_bos775.gif

where

  • ITRIP is the desired out-of-range current threshold.
  • RSENSE is the current-sensing resistor.
  • GAIN is the gain option of the device selected.
  • VREF is the voltage applied to the REF pin.
  • ILIMIT is the limit threshold output current for the selected comparator, typically 80 µA.

NOTE

When solving for the value of RLIMIT, the voltage at the corresponding LIMITx pin as determined by the product of RLIMIT and ILIMIT must not exceed the compliance voltage of VS – 0.6 V.
