JAJSV63A August 2024 – August 2024 LM5137-Q1
ADVANCE INFORMATION
Figure 7-5 illustrates inductor current sensing using a shunt resistor. This configuration continuously monitors the inductor current to provide accurate overcurrent protection across the operating temperature range. For optimal current sense accuracy and overcurrent protection, use a low parasitic inductance shunt resistor of ±1% tolerance connected between the inductor and the output. Use Kelvin sense connections at the shunt and route the sense lines differentially back to the LM5137-Q1.
If the peak voltage sensed differentially at [ISNS1+, BIAS1/VOUT1] or [ISNS2+, VOUT2] exceeds the current limit threshold of 60mV, the current limit comparator immediately terminates the respective HO output for cycle-by-cycle current limiting. Calculate the shunt resistance using Equation 8.
