Selecting the RSNS Value

Table 16 shows the requirements for the load current sense in this application. The KSNS value is specified for the device and can be found in the Specifications section.

Table 16. RSNS Calculation Parameters

PARAMETER EXAMPLE VALUE
Current Sense Ratio (KSNS) 2000
Largest diagnosable load current 8 A
Smallest diagnosable load current 40 mA
Full-scale ADC voltage 5-V
ADC resolution 10-bit

The load current measurement requirements of 8 A ensures that even in the event of a overcurrent surpassing the device internal 5-A limit, the MCU can register and react by shutting down the TPS2HB35-Q1, while the low level of 40 mA allows for accurate measurement of low load currents.

The RSNS resistor value should be selected such that the largest diagnosable load current puts VSNS at about 95% of the ADC full-scale. With this design, any ADC value above 95% can be considered a fault. Additionally, the RSNS resistor value should ensure that the smallest diagnosable load current does not cause VSNS to fall below 1 LSB of the ADC. With the given example values, a 1.2-kΩ sense resistor satisfies both requirements shown in Table 17.

Table 17. VSNS Calculation

LOAD (A) SENSE RATIO ISNS (mA) RSNS (Ω) VSNS (V) % of 5-V ADC
0.040 2000 0.02 1200 0.024 0.5%
8 2000 4 1200 4.800 96.0%
