PRODUCTION DATA
Figure 9-5 shows the basic connections for a low-side, switch overcurrent shutdown application. Connect input pins IN+ and IN– as close as possible to the current-sensing resistor (RSHUNT) to minimize any resistance in series with the shunt resistance. Additional resistance between the current-sensing resistor and input pins can result in errors in the measurement. When input current flows through this external input resistance, the voltage developed across the shunt resistor can differ from the voltage reaching the input pins. Connect the input pins to one of the three shunt options shown in Figure 9-5.
Use the device gain and shunt resistor value to calculate the OUT pin voltage, VOUT_TRIP, for the desired trip current, as shown in Equation 4:
where
Configure R1 and R2 so that the current trip point is equal to the 0.6-V reference voltage, as shown in Equation 5:
