ADVANCE INFORMATION
Refer to the PDF data sheet for device specific package drawings
The zero current reference voltage, VREF, along with device sensitivity, S, and supply voltage, VS, determine the TMCS1148 linear input current measurement ranges listed in the Device Comparison table. The maximum linear output voltage, VOUT,max, is limited to 100mV less than the supply voltage as shown in Equation 17. The minimum linear output voltage, VOUT,min, is limited to 100mV above ground as shown in Equation 18.
Overall maximum dynamic range can be optimized with proper device selection by referring minimum and maximum linear output voltage swing to minimum and maximum linear input current range by dividing output voltage by sensitivity, S (see Equation 19 and Equation 20).
where
As examples for determining linear input current measurement range, consider TMCS1148A7A devices with 40mV/A sensitivity, TMCS1148B6A devices with 33mV/A sensitivity, and TMCS1148E8A devices with 60mV/A sensitivity as shown in the Device Comparison table. When used with a 5V supply, the TMCS1148A7A has a balanced ±60A bidirectional linear current measurement range about the 2.5V zero current output reference voltage, VREF, as shown in Figure 9-2. When used with a 3.3V supply, the TMCS1148B6A has a balanced ±46.9A bidirectional linear current measurement range about the 1.65V zero current output reference voltage. If used with a 5V supply, the linear current measurement range of the TMCS1148B6A can be extended from –46.9A to 98.4A as shown in Figure 9-2. The TMCS1148E8A with a 0.5V zero current reference voltage is intended for measuring unidirectional currents. When used with a 5V supply the TMCS1148E8A has a unidirectional linear current measurement range from –6.6A to 73.3A as shown in Figure 9-2.
