PRODUCTION DATA
Figure 8-4 shows the cascode NMOS current mirror. VCS must be ≥ 0.3 V for proper biasing. Additionally VCS must be greater than 0.9 · VREF (0.544 V) if foldback current limiting is intended to be enabled. The following example shows the typical calculation of RCS.
where
When VIN = 2.3 V, select VCS = 2.05 V, ILOAD = 3 A, CSR = 52000, and Ioffset = 0.26 A, then ICS = 62.69 µA and RCS = 3.99 kΩ.
For TPS7H1101A-SP, Figure 8-5 shows a typical curve VCS vs IOUT for VIN = 2.28 V and RCS = 3.65 kΩ. A resistor connected from the CS terminal to VIN indicates voltage proportional to the output current.
Monitoring current in the CS terminal (ICS vs ILOAD) indicates the current sense ratio between the main PMOSFET and the current sense MOSFET as shown in Figure 8-6. Additionally Figure 8-6 shows the linearity of the CSR ratio across VCS pin voltage range of 0.3 V to VIN. VCS must be ≥ 0.3-V minimum to keep circuit properly biased.
Figure 8-7 shows ILOAD vs ICS across the full range of CSR values.
