PRODUCTION DATA
The RSNS resistor value can be calculated using Equation 1 in case of no external component connected on SNS pin and Equation 2 when an external zener diode or resistor divider is connected on SNS pin to clamp SNS pin voltage to ADC maximum acceptable voltage, VADC,max for better current sense resolution. To achieve better current-sense accuracy, a 1% tolerance or better resistor is preferred.
| PARAMETER | VALUE (no external component connected on SNS pin ) | VALUE ( external zener diode or resistor divider is connected on SNS) |
|---|---|---|
| ILOAD,max | 7.5A | 7.5A |
| ILOAD,min | 100mA | 100mA |
| VADC,max | 5V | 5V |
| VADC,min | 5mV | 5mV |
| VHR (needed) | 1V | 1V |
| KSNS | 3000 | 3000 |
| KCL | 500 | 500 |
| ISNSFH | 7.5mA | 7.5mA |
| VHR (calculated with maximum RSNS) | 3.33V | - |
| RSNS (minimum) | 150Ω | 150Ω |
| RSNS (maximum) | 667Ω | 1600Ω |
For this application with a zener diode (DSNS) connected on SNS pin, a RSNS value of 1000Ω can be chosen to satisfy the Equation 2 requirements.
In other applications with a higher dynamic current range, either more emphasis can be put on the lower end measurable values which increases RSNS. Likewise, if the higher currents are of more interest the RSNS can be decreased.
To set the adjustable current limit value ICL, use Equation 9 to select the RLIM value.
TI recommends RPROT = 10kΩ for 5V MCU IO connections.
