SNOSC63B February 2012 – December 2014 LMP8646
PRODUCTION DATA.
As seen from Figure 26, the sense current flowing through RSENSE develops a voltage drop equal to VSENSE. The high impedance inputs of the amplifier does not conduct this current and the high open-loop gain of the sense amplifier forces its noninverting input to the same voltage as the inverting input. In this way the voltage drop across RIN matches VSENSE. The current IIN flowing through RIN has the following equation:
where
IIN flows entirely across the external gain resistor RG to develop a voltage drop equal to:
This voltage is buffered and showed at the output with a very low impedance allowing a very easy interface of the LMP8646 with the feedback of many voltage regulators. This output voltage has the following equation:
