TMCS1126 Isolated Current-Sense Amplifier

U1_x is the TMCS1126 isolated current-sense amplifier. The TMCS1126xEVM board is divided into five detachable segments. Each segment is populated with one of the available device sensitivities for the chosen operating point A, B, or C. This configuration enables users to test all possible variants of the devices to determine the best sensitivity setting for a given application.

  • A magnetic field is generated based on the load current that is connected across the inputs IN+_x and IN-_x, and flows through the TMCS1126 leadframe.
  • The output voltage swing limitation and required load current sensing range are the key factors when determining device selection.
  • The selected device must allow the output voltage to remain within the acceptable range after the load current is transduced and amplified by the respective device sensitivity. The max output voltage must remain within the range of 10 mV above ground to 100 mV below the supply voltage.
  • Choose an appropriate sensitivity to create the largest appropriate output swing, and to minimize error.
