7.3.5 Analog Load Current Monitor (IMON)

The TPS1685x allows the system to monitor the output load current accurately by providing an analog current on the IMON pin which is proportional to the current through the FET. The benefit of having a current output is that the signal can be routed across a board without adding significant errors due to voltage drop or noise coupling from adjacent traces. The current output also allows the IMON pins of multiple TPS1685x devices to be tied together to get the total current in a parallel configuration. The IMON signal can be converted to a voltage by dropping it across a resistor at the point of monitoring. The user can sense the voltage (VIMON) across the RIMON to get a measure of the output load current using Equation 10.

Equation 10. IOUT=VIMONGIMON×RIMON

The TPS1685x IMON circuit is designed to provide high bandwidth and high accuracy across load and temperature conditions, irrespective of board layout and other system operating conditions. This design allows the IMON signal to be used for advanced dynamic platform power management techniques such as Intel® PSYS or PROCHOT# to maximize system power usage and platform throughput without sacrificing safety or reliability.

Note:

  1. The IMON pin provides load current monitoring information only during steady-state. During inrush, the IMON pin reports zero load current.

  2. The ILIM pin reports the individual device load current at all times and can also be used as an analog load current monitor for each individual device.
  3. Care must be taken to minimize parasitic capacitance on the IMON and ILIM pins to avoid any impact on the overcurrent and short-circuit protection timing.
