PRODUCTION DATA
The UCC29002 device features a high-gain and high-precision amplifier to measure and amplify the voltage across a low-value current-sense resistor. Because the amplifier is fully uncommitted, the current-sense gain is user-programmable. The current-sense amplifier is not unity-gain stable and must have a minimum gain of 3.
The extremely-low input offset voltage of the UCC29002 current-sense amplifier makes it suitable to measure current information across a low-value resistance to reduce power loss. Furthermore, the amplifier's input common-mode range includes the ground and positive supply rails (GND and VDD) of the UCC29002. Accordingly, the current-sense resistor can be placed either in the ground return path or in the positive output rail of the power supply VOUT as long as VOUT ≤ VVDD.
