The peak input voltage is 230V × √2 × 1.1 = 360V. The 200μA maximum cross-current requirement determines that the total impedance of the resistive divider is 1.8MΩ. The impedance of the resistive divider is dominated by the top resistors, shown exemplary as R1 and R2 in Figure 8-1. The maximum allowed voltage drop per unit resistor is specified as 125V. Therefore, the minimum number of unit resistors in the top portion of the resistive divider is 360V / 125V ≅ 3. The calculated unit value is 1.8MΩ / 3 = 600kΩ and the next closest value from the E96 series is 604kΩ.
Size RSNS such that the voltage drop at the maximum input voltage (360V) equals VFSR. VFSR is the linear full-scale voltage and specified as ±1V. RSNS is calculated as RSNS = VFSR / (VPeak – VFSR) × RTOP. RTOP is the total value of the top resistor string (3 × 604kΩ = 1.812MΩ). RSNS results in a value of 5.05kΩ. The next closest value from the E96 series is 4.99kΩ.
Table 8-2 summarizes the design of the resistive divider.
