PRODUCTION DATA
The 200μA cross-current requirement at the maximum DC-link voltage (450V) determines that the total impedance of the resistive divider is 2.25MΩ. The impedance of the resistive divider is dominated by the top portion (shown exemplary as R1 and R2 in Figure 8-1) and the voltage drop across RSNS can be neglected for a moment. The maximum allowed voltage drop per unit resistor is specified as 125V; therefore, the minimum number of unit resistors in the top portion of the resistive divider is 450V / 125V ≅ 4. The calculated unit value is 2.25MΩ / 4 = 563kΩ and the next closest value from the E96 series is 562kΩ. The sense resistor (RSNS) is sized such that the voltage drop across the resistor at the maximum DC-link voltage (450V) equals the linear full-scale range input voltage (VFSR) of the AMC0x11S, which is 2.25V. This resistance is calculated as RSNS = VFSR / (VDC-link, MAX – VFSR) × RTOP, where RTOP is the total value of the top resistor string (4 × 562kΩ = 2.248MΩ). RSNS is calculated as 11.3kΩ and matches a value from the E96 series.
Table 8-2 summarizes the design of the resistive divider.
