6.3.12.1 Shunt Current Sensing

Shunt current sensing illustrates inductor current sensing using a shunt resistor. This configuration continuously monitors the inductor current to provide accurate overcurrent protection across the operating temperature range. For optimal current sense accuracy and overcurrent protection, use a low inductance ±1% tolerance shunt resistor between the inductor and the output, with a Kelvin connection to the LM25139-Q1 current sense amplifier.

If the peak voltage signal sensed from ISNS to VOUT exceeds the current limit threshold of 60mV, the current limit comparator immediately terminates the HO output for cycle-by-cycle current limiting. Use Equation 10 to calculate the shunt resistance.

Equation 10. RS= VCS­THIOUT(CL)+ ΔIL2

where

  • VCS-TH is current sense threshold of 60mV.
  • IOUT(CL) is the overcurrent setpoint that is set higher than the maximum load current to avoid tripping the overcurrent comparator during load transients.
  • ΔIL is the peak-to-peak inductor ripple current.
LM25139-Q1 Shunt Current Sensing Implementation Figure 6-5 Shunt Current Sensing Implementation

The soft-start voltage is clamped 95mV above FB during an overcurrent condition and after soft-start is complete (8ms timer). 16 overcurrent events must occur before the SS clamp is enabled. This amount makes sure that SS can be pulled low during brief overcurrent events, preventing output voltage overshoot during recovery.
