7.3.5 Analog Load Current Monitor Output

The device allows the system to accurately monitor the output load current by providing an analog current sense output on the IMON pin which is proportional to the current through the FET. The user can sense the voltage (VIMON) across the RIMON to get a measure of the output load current.

Equation 5. GUID-20200925-CA0I-NC5Q-VPWN-2LWCBHQNSVJM-low.gif

The waveform below shows the IMON signal response to a dynamically varying load profile at the output.

GUID-20201207-CA0I-V2QN-TS4R-BVFPD30QTFHC-low.png
VIN = 12 V, COUT = 22 μF, RIMON = 1.15 kΩ, IOUT varied dynamically between 0 A and 3.5 A
Figure 7-5 Analog Load Current Monitor Output Response
Note:
  1. It's recommended to choose RIMON such that VIMON ≤ 1.5 V at the maximum DC load current.
  2. It's also recommended to add a zener diode on the IMON pin to clamp the voltage below 1.8 V during high current transients.

  3. Connect IMON pin to GND if not used. Do not leave the pin floating.
