Description
This reference design shows how to detect current from the mA-to-KA range using a busbar-type shunt resistor. The increasing demand of high-capacity batteries in electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) drives the requirement for larger current spans and highly-accurate current sensors. Obtaining a good accuracy over three decades (mA to A, 1 A to 100 A, and 100 A to 1000 A) is quite challenging due to large amounts of noise in the system. This design solves this problem by using a high-resolution analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and high-accuracy current shunt monitors from TI.
Features
- Full-scale accuracy of:
- 0.02% full-scale range (FSR) for < 20A and < 0.05% FSR for 20A to 1500A at 25°C
- 0.1% FSR for < 20A and 0.25% FSR for 20A to 1500A at 50°C
- Suitable for 50mA to 1500A range current measurement; configurable to varied current spans
- High-side sensing and low-side sensing
- Supports bi-directional current
- Bi-directional current measurement: -1500A to +1500A
