PRODUCTION DATA.
The current-sense outputs, SENSEx (SENSE, SENSE1, and SENSE2), are proportional to the output current at the OUT, OUT1, and OUT2 pins with a factor of 1/198. An output resistor, R(SENSE), must be connected between the SENSEx pin and ground to generate a current sense voltage to be sampled by ADC. Use Equation 2 to calculate the voltage at SENSEx pin (V(SENSEx)).
where
For this example, select 1.5 kΩ as a value for R(SENSEx). Do not consider the resistor and current-sense accuracy.
For a load current of 198 mA, use Equation 3 to calculate the value of V(SENSEx).
To avoid any overlap between normal operation and current-limit or short-to-ground phase, using Equation 4 to select the value of the SENSE resistor is recommended.
where
To stabilize the current-sense loop, connecting a 1-µF ceramic capacitor at the SENSE, SENSE1, or SENSE2 pin is required. Table 4 lists the current sense accuracy across temperature.
OUTPUT CURRENT | CURRENT SENSE ACCURACY |
---|---|
5 mA to 10 mA | 20% |
10 mA to 50 mA | 10% |
50 mA to 100 mA | 5% |
100 mA to 300 mA | 3% |
