9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure

The primary design parameter for using the TMCS1133 is the optimum sensitivity variant based on the required measured current levels and the selected supply voltage. Positive and negative currents are measured in this in-line phase current application example, therefore select a bidirectional variant. The TMCS1133 has a precision internal reference voltage that determines the zero current output voltage, VOUT,0A.

The internal reference voltage on TMCS1133AxA variants, with zero current output voltage VOUT,0A = 2.5V is intended for bidirectional current measurements when used with 5V power supplies. The internal reference voltage on TMCS1133BxA variants, with zero current output voltage VOUT,0A = 1.65V is intended for bidirectional current measurements when used with 3.3V power supplies. Further consideration of noise and integration with an ADC can be explored, but is beyond the scope of this application design example. The TMCS1133 output voltage VOUT is proportional to the input current IIN as defined by Equation 30 with output offset set by VOUT,0A.

Equation 30. V O U T = I I N × S + V O U T , 0 A

Design of the sensing solution focuses on maximizing the sensitivity of the device while maintaining linear measurement over the expected current input range. The TMCS1133 has a linear measurable current range that is constrained by either the positive swing to supply or negative swing to ground. To account for the operating margin, consider the previously defined minimum possible supply voltage VS,min = 4.9V. With the previous parameters, the maximum linear output voltage VOUT,max is defined by Equation 31 and the minimum linear output voltage VOUT,min is defined by Equation 32.

Equation 31. V O U T , m a x = V S , m i n - 100 m V
Equation 32. V O U T , m i n = 100 m V

Design parameters for this example application are shown in Table 9-4 along with the calculated output range.

Table 9-4 Example Application Design Parameters
DESIGN PARAMETER EXAMPLE VALUE
VOUT,max 4.8V
VOUT,0A 2.5V
VOUT,max – VOUT,0A 2.3V

These design parameters result in a maximum positive linear output voltage swing of ±2.3V about VOUT,0A = 2.5V. To determine which sensitivity variant of the TMCS1133 most fully uses this linear range, use Equation 33 to calculate the maximum current range for a bidirectional current ±IIN,max.

Equation 33. I I N ,   m a x = V O U T , m a x - V O U T , 0 A S

where

  • S is the sensitivity of the relevant AxA variant.

Table 9-5 shows the calculation for each gain variant of the TMCS1133 with the appropriate sensitivities.

Table 9-5 Maximum Full-Scale Current Ranges With 2.3V Positive Output Swing
VARIANT SENSITIVITY IIN,max
TMCS1133A1A 25mV/A ±92A
TMCS1133A2A 50mV/A ±46A
TMCS1133A3A 75mV/A ±30.6A
TMCS1133A4A 100mV/A ±23A
TMCS1133A5A 150mV/A ±15.3A

In general, the highest sensitivity variant is selected to provide the lowest maximum input current range that is larger than the desired full-scale current range. For the design parameters in this example, the TMCS1133A4A with sensitivity of 100mV/A is the proper selection because the maximum ±23A linear measurable range is larger than the desired ±20A full-scale current range.
