PRODUCTION DATA
The voltage at IMON pin V(IMON) represents the voltage proportional to the load current. This can be connected to an ADC of the downstream system for health monitoring of the system. The R(IMON) must be configured based on the maximum input voltage range of the ADC used. R(IMON) is set using Equation 12.
For I(LIM) = 1 A, and considering the operating voltage range of ADC from 0 V to 2.5 V, V(IMONmax) is 2.5 V and R(IMON) is determined by Equation 13.
Selecting the R(IMON) value less than determined ensures that ADC limits are not exceeded for maximum value of the load current. Choose the closest standard 1% resistor value: R(IMON) = 33.2 kΩ.
If current monitoring up to I(FASTRIP) is desired, R(IMON) can be reduced by a factor of 1.8 as shown in Equation 5.
