Accurate Current Sense

High-accuracy current sense is implemented in the version-B device. It allows a better real-time monitoring effect and more-accurate diagnostics without further calibration.

One integrated current mirror can source 1 / K(CS) of the load current, and the mirrored current flows into the external current sense resistor to become a voltage signal. The current mirror is shared by the four channels. K(CS) is the ratio of the output current and the sense current. It is a constant value across the temperature and supply voltage. Each device is calibrated accurately during production, so post-calibration is not required. See Figure 23 for more details.

When a fault occurs, the CS pin also works as a fault report with a pullup voltage, VCS(H). See Figure 24 for more details.

Use Equation 1 to calculate R(CS).

Equation 1. TPS2H160-Q1 eq01-Rcs_SLVSCV8.gif

Take the following points into consideration when calculating R(CS).

  • Ensure VCS is within the current-sense linear region (VCS, IOUTx(lin)) across the full range of the load current. Check R(CS) with Equation 2.
  • Equation 2. TPS2H160-Q1 eq02-Rcs-lin_SLVSCV8.gif
  • In fault mode, ensure ICS is within the source capacity of the CS pin (ICS(H)). Check R(CS) with Equation 3.
