JAJSGA2F September 2018 – June 2021 TPS2663
PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS2663x devices feature an accurate analog current monitoring output. A current source at IMON terminal is internally configured to be proportional to the current flowing from IN to OUT. This current can be converted into a voltage using a resistor R(IMON) from IMON terminal to GND terminal. The IMON voltage can be used as a means of monitoring current flow through the system. The maximum voltage (V(IMONmax) for monitoring the current is limited to 4 V. This puts a limitation on maximum value of R(IMON) resistor and is determined by Equation 7.
Where,
Refer to Figure 6-13 for IMON output versus load current plot. Figure 9-19 illustrates IMON performance.
The IMON pin must not have a bypass capacitor to avoid delay in the current monitoring information.
