10.2.2.2.1 Selecting the RISNS Value

Table 8 shows the requirements for the load current sense in this application. The KSNS value is specified for the device and can be found in the Specifications section.

Table 8. RSNS Calculation Parameters

PARAMETER EXAMPLE VALUE
Current Sense Ratio (KSNS) 4600
Largest diagnosable load current 20 A
Smallest diagnosable load current 50 mA
Full-scale ADC voltage 5 V
ADC resolution 10 bit

The load current measurement requirements of 20 A ensures that current can be sensed up to the 20 A current limit, while the low level of 100 mA allows for accurate measurement of low load currents.

The RSNS resistor value should be selected such that the largest diagnosable load current puts VSNS at about 90% of the ADC full-scale. With this design, any ADC value above 90% can be considered a fault. Additionally, the RSNS resistor value should ensure that the smallest diagnosable load current does not cause VSNS to fall below 1 LSB of the ADC. With the given example values, a 1-kΩ sense resistor satisfies both requirements shown in Table 9.

LOAD (A) SENSE RATIO ISNS (mA) RSNS (Ω) VSNS (V) % OF 5-V ADC
0.050 4600 0.011 1000 0.011 0.22%
20.000 4600 4.348 1000 4.348 87%
