SNOSC63B February 2012 – December 2014 LMP8646
PRODUCTION DATA.
The output accuracy is the device error contributed by the LMP8646 based on its offset and gain errors. The LMP8646 output accuracy has the following equations:
For example, assume VSENSE = 100 mV, RG = 10 kOhm, and it is known that VOFFSET = 1 mV and Gm_Accuracy = 2% (Electrical Characteristics Table), then the output accuracy can be calculated as:
In fact, as VSENSE decreases, the output accuracy worsens as seen in Figure 27. These equations provide a valuable tool to estimate how the LMP8646 affects the overall system performance. Knowing this information allows the system designer to pick the appropriate external resistances (RSENSE and RG) to adjust for the tolerable system error. Examples of this tolerable system error can be seen in the next sections.
