6.4.2 Active Mode

When the LDC0851 EN pin is pulled high, the LDC0851 is put into active mode. The active supply current (IDD) is broken up into three pieces: Static current (Istatic), Dynamic current (Idyn), and Sensor current (Isensor).

Static current is the DC device current given in the electrical characteristics and does not vary over frequency.

Dynamic current is the AC device current which varies with both sensor frequency (ƒSENSOR) and board parasitic capacitance (CBOARD). Dynamic current can be computed with the following equation:

Equation 3. GUID-3CBDABC0-5190-460B-9AF4-7BFC4A13186A-low.gif

where:

  • Idyn is the dynamic current drawn by the device and board parasitics
  • ƒSENSOR is the sensor frequency calculated from Equation 6
  • CBOARD is the parasitic capacitance of the board, see Figure 7-1

Sensor current is the AC current required to drive an external LC sensor. Sensor current varies with both the frequency and inductance of the sensor and is given by the following equation:

Equation 4. GUID-37168641-90B7-4F65-BFCC-281A50943B45-low.gif

where:

  • ISENSOR is current required to drive the sensor
  • LSENSOR is the measured inductance of the sensor
  • ƒSENSOR is the sensor frequency calculated from Equation 6

The total active supply current is given by the following equation:

Equation 5. GUID-9300E9BE-D90B-425C-88E4-02D6A0F6DA23-low.gif

where:

  • IDD is the total active supply current
  • Idyn is the dynamic current drawn by the device as given by Equation 3
  • Istatic is the static current as given in the electrical table
  • ISENSOR is current required to drive the sensor as given by Equation 4
