PRODUCTION DATA
This region of operation provides the highest accuracy. Here, use of a two-step method characterizes and measures the input offset voltage. First, Equation 2 determines the gain.
where:
VOUT1 = output voltage with VSENSE = 100 mV
VOUT2 = output voltage with VSENSE = 20 mV
Then the offset voltage is measured at VSENSE = 100 mV and referred to the input (RTI) of the current shunt monitor, as shown in Equation 3.
In the Typical Characteristics, Figure 6-6 (Output Error versus Common-Mode Voltage curve) shows the highest accuracy for the this region of operation. In this plot, VS = 12 V; for VCM ≥ 12 V, the output error is at its minimum. Using this case also creates the VSENSE ≥ 20 mV output specifications in the Electrical Characteristics: Current-Shunt Monitor table.
