PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS16530 device features 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 limit puts a limitation on maximum value of R(IMON) resistor and is determined by Equation 5.
Where,
See Figure 6-5 for IMON gain versus load current (0.01 to 4.5 A) and Figure 6-6 for IMON Offset versus Temperature plots. Figure 6-6 illustrates IMON performance.
The IMON pin must not have a bypass capacitor to avoid delay in the current monitoring information.
