This reference design demonstrates high-side primary current sensing in DC/DC converter and onboard charger (OBC) applications for hybrid and electric vehicles. Using an isolated shunt approach for current sensing has several advantages, including high accuracy, linearity and robustness. However, the large input range of isolated amplifiers causes the shunt to experience high power dissipation. To solve this problem, this reference design utilizes a lower input range isolated amplifier, reducing power dissipation while maintaining the advantages of the shunt-based approach.
A fully assembled board has been developed for testing and performance validation only, and is not available for sale.
