Overcurrent Threshold Connection

The INA310x comparator in Figure 7-4 is configured to provide overcurrent alert signal when the current through RSHUNT exceeds the overcurrent threshold. OUT voltage times R2 divided by R1 and R2 compared to the internal reference voltage (0.6 V) sets the overcurrent threshold. Equation 1 shows the relation of the overcurrent threshold with gain, RSHUNT, R1 and R2.

Equation 1. I S e n s e _ A l e r t _ T h r e s h o l d = 0.6 × ( R 1 + R 2 ) R 2 × G × R s h u n t
R1 and R2 load OUT, therefore TI recommends to set the sum of these resistors higher than 10k. This helps keep the high swing range at the OUT and lower total supply current. The high value of these resistors will contribute to inaccuracy in comparator alert threshold voltage (VTHRESHOLD) as mentioned in Section 7.3.10. The Section 8.2.1.1 section shows an example of resistors values to set the overcurrent threshold.
