PRODUCTION DATA
The 200-μA, cross-current requirement at the maximum DC bus voltage (850 V) determines that the total impedance of the resistive divider is 4.25 MΩ. The impedance of the resistive divider is dominated by the top portion (shown exemplary as RX1 and RX2 in Figure 8-1) and the voltage drop across RSNS1 and RSNS2 can be neglected for a moment. The maximum allowed voltage drop per unit resistor is specified as 100 V; therefore, the minimum number of unit resistors in the top portion of the resistive divider is 850 V / 100 V = 9. The calculated unit value is 4.25 MΩ / 9 = 472 kΩ and the next closest value from the E96 series is 475 kΩ.
The total sense resistor (RSNS = RSNS1 + RSNS2) is sized such that the voltage drop across the resistor at the maximum DC bus voltage (850 V) equals the linear full-scale range input voltage (VFSR) of the AMC3311-Q1, which is 2 V. This resistance is calculated as RSNS = VFSR / (VDC-link, max – VFSR) × RTOP, where RTOP is the total value of the top resistor string (9 × 475 kΩ = 4275 kΩ). RSNS is calculated as 10.08 kΩ and split into two equal resistors (RSNS1 and RSNS2) of 4.99 kΩ each, a value from the E96 series.
The isolated comparator senses the voltage drop across RSNS2. At the specified DC link overvoltage of 870 V, the voltage drop across RSNS2 is RSNS2 / (RTOP + RSNS1 + RSNS2) × VDC-bus and equals 1.025 V. This value is the trip threshold value, VREF. The trip threshold is set by the resistor RREF and is calculated as (1.025 V – 4 mV) / 100 μA = 10.2 kΩ and matches a value from E96 series. The 4-mV value subtracted from VREF is related to the hysteresis of the isolated comparator on the rising edge of VIN. 100 μA is the value of the internal current source connected to the REF pin of the AMC23C12-Q1. For a detailed calculation of the trip threshold, see the AMC23C12-Q1 data sheet. The resulting overvoltage detection threshold is (VREF + 4 mV) / RSNS1 × (RTOP + RSNS1 + RSNS2), or 879 V.
The reference of the AMC23C12-Q1 comparator requires a minimum headroom to VDD1 of 1.4 V. The minimum supply voltage (VDD1) to the isolated comparator is in the minimum output voltage of the AMC3311-Q1 high-side LDO (VHLDO_OUT), which equals 3 V. Therefore, the reference operates at a minimum headroom of 3 V – 1.025 V = 1.975 V and satisfies the design requirements.
Table 8-2 summarizes the design parameters for this application.
