7.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure

The maximum value of the current-sense resistor is calculated based on the choice of gain, value of the maximum current to be sensed (IMAX), and the power-supply voltage (VS). When operating at the maximum current, the output voltage must not exceed the positive output swing specification, VSP. Under the given design parameters, Equation 6 calculates the maximum value for RSENSE as 48mΩ.

Equation 6. INA950-SEP

Although 45.3mΩ is less than the maximum value calculated, 45.3mΩ is selected for this design example because this value is still large enough to provide an adequate signal at the current-sense amplifier output and is a standard 1% value.
