8.3.2.2 SNS Output

Use the SNS output to sense the load current, supply voltage, or device temperature. The SELx pins select the desired sense signal. The sense circuit provides a current that is proportional to the selected parameter. This current is sourced into an external resistor to create a voltage that is proportional to the selected parameter. Measure this voltage using an ADC or comparator.

To verify accurate sensing measurement, connect the sensing resistor to the same ground potential as the μC ADC.

The SNS Output includes an internal clamp, VSNSclamp. This clamp is designed to prevent a high voltage at the SNS output and the ADC input.

Equation 1. I S N S I = I O U T 4600
Supply voltage(1)
Equation 2. I S N S V = ( V B B ) × d I S N S V d V
Device temperature
Equation 3. I S N S T = ( T J - 25 ℃ ) × d I S N S d T + 0.85
(1) Voltage potential between the VBB pin and the GND pin.

The SNS output is also used to indicate system faults. ISNS goes to the predefined level, ISNSFH, when there is a fault. This level is defined in the electrical specifications.
