8.3.4 Analog Load Current Monitor

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

Equation 8. ILOAD A=VILM µVGIMON µA/A × RILM Ω 

The waveform below shows the ILM signal response to a load step at the output.

VIN = 12 V, RILM = 649 Ω, IOUT varied dynamically between 8 A and 14 A

Note: The ILM pin is sensitive to capacitive loading. Careful design and layout is needed to ensure the parasitic capacitive loading on the ILM pin is < 50 pF for stable operation.
