PRODUCTION DATA
The device 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 user can connect a resistor from IMON to ground to convert this signal to a voltage which can be fed to the input of an Analog-to-Digital Converter. The internal amplifier on the IMON employs chopper based offset cancellation techniques to provide accurate measurement even at lower currents over time and temperature.
It is recommended to limit the maximum IMON voltage to the values mentioned in VIMON(Max) Recommended Values . This is to ensure the IMON pin internal amplifier has sufficient headroom to operate linearly.
VIN | Recommended VIMON(MAX) |
---|---|
2.7 V | 1 V |
3.3 V | 1.8 V |
> 5 V | 3.3 V |
It is recommended to add a RC low pass filter on the IMON output to filter out any glitches and get a smooth average current measurement. TI recommends a series resistance of 10 kΩ or higher.
