TS1109 Bidirectional Bipolar Buffered Current Sense Amplifier Block Diagram silabs.com | Smart. Connected. Energy-friendly. Rev. 1.0 | 2 TS1109 Data Sheet System Overview 2.2 Current Sense Amplifier + Output Buffer The internal configuration of the TS1109 bidirectional current-sense amplifier is a variation of the TS1101 bidirectional current-sense amplifier. The TS1109 current-sense amplifier is configured for fully differential input/output operation. Referring to the block diagram, the inputs of the TS1109’s differential input/output amplifier are connected to RS+ and RS– across an external RSENSE resistor that is used to measure current. At the non-inverting input of the current-sense amplifier, the applied voltage difference in voltage between RS+ and RS– is ILOAD x RSENSE. Since the RS– terminal is the non-inverting input of the internal op-amp, the current-sense op-amp action drives PMOS[1/2] to drive current across RGAIN[A/B] to equalize voltage at its inputs. Thus, since the M1 PMOS source is connected to the inverting input of the internal op-amp and since the voltage drop across RGAINA is the same as the external VSENSE, the M1 PMOS’ drain-source current is equal to: I DS (M 1) = I DS (M 1) = V SENSE RGAINA I LOAD × RSENSE RGAINA The drain terminal of the M1 PMOS is connected to the transimpedance amplifier’s gain resistor, ROUT, via the inverting terminal. The non-inverting terminal of the transimpedance amplifier is internally connected to VBIAS, therefore the output voltage of the TS1109 at the OUT terminal is: ROUT V OUT = V BIAS − I LOAD × RSENSE × RGAINA When the voltage at the RS– terminal is greater than the voltage at the RS+ terminal, the external VSENSE voltage drop is impressed upon RGAINB. The voltage drop across RGAINB is then converted into a current by the M2 PMOS. The M2 PMOS drain-source current is the input current for the NMOS current mirror which is matched with a 1-to-1 ratio. The transimpedance amplifier sources the M2 PMOS drain-source current for the NMOS current mirror. Therefore, the output voltage of the TS1109 at the OUT terminal is: ROUT V OUT = V BIAS + I LOAD × RSENSE × RGAINB When M1 is conducting current (VRS+ > VRS–), the TS1109’s internal amplifier holds M2 OFF. When M2 is conducting current (VRS– > VRS+), the internal amplifier holds M1 OFF. In either case, the disabled PMOS does not contribute to the resultant output voltage. The current-sense amplifier’s gain accuracy is therefore the ratio match of ROUT to RGAIN[A/B]. For each of the two gain options available, The following table lists the values for RGAIN[A/B]. Table 2.1. Internal Gain Setting Resistors (Typical Values) GAIN (V/V) RGAIN[A/B] (Ω) ROUT (Ω) Part Number 20 2k 40 k TS1109-20 200 200 40 k TS1109-200 The TS1109 allows access to the inverting terminal of the transimpedance amplifier by the FILT pin, whereby a series RC filter may be connected to reduce noise at the OUT terminal. The recommended RC filter is 4 kΩ and 0.47 µF connected in series from FILT to GND to suppress the noise. Any capacitance at the OUT terminal should be minimized for stable operation of the buffer. silabs.com | Smart. Connected. Energy-friendly. Rev. 1.0 | 3 TS1109 Data Sheet System Overview 2.3 Sign Output The TS1109 SIGN output indicates the load current’s direction. The SIGN output is a logic HIGH when M1 is conducting current (VRS+ > VRS–). Alternatively, the SIGN output is a logic LOW when M2 is conducting current (VRS– > VRS+). The SIGN comparator’s transfer characteristic is illustrated in the figure below. Unlike other current-sense amplifiers that implement an OUT/SIGN arrangement, the TS1109 exhibits no “dead zone” at ILOAD switchover. Figure 2.2. TS1109 Sign Output Transfer Characteristic 2.4 Selecting a Sense Resistor Selecting the optimal value for the external RSENSE is based on the following criteria and for each commentary follows: 1. RSENSE Voltage Loss 2. VOUT Swing vs. Desired VSENSE and Applied Supply Voltage at VDD 3. Total ILOAD Accuracy 4. Circuit Efficiency and Power Dissipation 5. RSENSE Kelvin Connections 2.4.1 RSENSE Voltage Loss For lowest IR power dissipation in RSENSE, the smallest usable resistor value for RSENSE should be selected. silabs.com | Smart. Connected. Energy-friendly. Rev. 1.0 | 4 TS1109 Data Sheet System Overview 2.4.2 VOUT Swing vs. Desired VSENSE and Applied Supply Voltage at VDD Although the Current Sense Amplifier draws its power from the voltage at its RS+ and RS– terminals, the signal voltage at the OUT terminal is provided by a buffer, and is therefore bounded by the buffer’s output range. As shown in the Electrical Characteristics table, the CSA Buffer has a maximum and minimum output voltage of: V OUT (max ) = VDD (min ) − 0.2V V OUT (min ) = 0.2V Therefore, the full-scale sense voltage should be chosen so that the OUT voltage is neither greater nor less than the maximum and minimum output voltage defined above. To satisfy this requirement, the positive full-scale sense voltage, VSENSE(pos_max), should be chosen so that: V SENSE ( pos_max ) < VBIAS − V OUT (min ) GAIN Likewise, the negative full-scale sense voltage, VSENSE(neg_min), should be chosen so that: V SENSE (neg_min ) < V OUT (max ) − VBIAS GAIN For best performance, RSENSE should be chosen so that the full-scale VSENSE is less than ±75 mV. 2.4.3 Total Load Current Accuracy In the TS1109’s linear region where VOUT(min) < VOUT < VOUT(max), there are two specifications related to the circuit’s accuracy: a) the TS1109 CSA’s input offset voltage (VOS(max) = 150 µV), b) the TS1109 CSA’s gain error (GE(max) = 1%). An expression for the TS1109’s total error is given by: V OUT = VBIAS − GAIN × (1 ± GE ) × V SENSE ± (GAIN × V OS ) A large value for RSENSE permits the use of smaller load currents to be measured more accurately because the effects of offset voltages are less significant when compared to larger VSENSE voltages. Due care though should be exercised as previously mentioned with large values of RSENSE. 2.4.4 Circuit Efficiency and Power Dissipation IR loses in RSENSE can be large especially at high load currents. It is important to select the smallest, usable RSENSE value to minimize power dissipation and to keep the physical size of RSENSE small. If the external RSENSE is allowed to dissipate significant power, then its inherent temperature coefficient may alter its design center value, thereby reducing load current measurement accuracy. Precisely because the TS1109 CSA’s input stage was designed to exhibit a very low input offset voltage, small RSENSE values can be used to reduce power dissipation and minimize local hot spots on the pcb. 2.4.5 RSENSE Kelvin Connections For optimal VSENSE accuracy in the presence of large load currents, parasitic pcb track resistance should be minimized. Kelvin-sense pcb connections between RSENSE and the TS1109’s RS+ and RS– terminals are strongly recommended. The drawing below illustrates the connections between the current-sense amplifier and the current-sense resistor. The pcb layout should be balanced and symmetrical to minimize wiring-induced errors. In addition, the pcb layout for RSENSE should include good thermal management techniques for optimal RSENSE power dissipation. Figure 2.3. Making PCB Connections to RSENSE silabs.com | Smart. Connected. Energy-friendly. Rev. 1.0 | 5 TS1109 Data Sheet System Overview 2.4.6 RSENSE Composition Current-shunt resistors are available in metal film, metal strip, and wire-wound constructions. Wire-wound current-shunt resistors are constructed with wire spirally wound onto a core. As a result, these types of current shunt resistors exhibit the largest self-inductance. In applications where the load current contains high-frequency transients, metal film or metal strip current sense resistors are recommended. 2.4.7 Internal Noise Filter In power management and motor control applications, current-sense amplifier are required to measure load currents accurately in the presence of both externally-generated differential and common-mode noise. An example of differential-mode noise that can appear at the inputs of a current-sense amplifier is high-frequency ripple. High-frequency ripple (whether injected into the circuit inductively or capacitively) can produce a differential-mode voltage drop across the external current-shunt resistor, RSENSE. An example of externallygenerated, common-mode noise is the high-frequency output ripple of a switching regulator that can result in common-mode noise injection into both inputs of a current-sense amplifier. Even though the load current signal bandwidth is dc, the input stage of any current-sense amplifier can rectify unwanted, out-of-band noise that can result in an apparent error voltage at its output. Against common-mode injection noise, the current-sense amplifier’s internal common-mode rejection ratio is 130 dB (typ). To counter the effects of externally-injected noise, the TS1109 incorporates a 50 kHz (typ), 2nd-order differential low-pass filter as shown in the TS1109’s block diagram, thereby eliminating the need for an external low-pass filter, which can generate errors in the offset voltage and the gain error. 2.4.8 PC Board Layout and Power-Supply Bypassing For optimal circuit performance, the TS1109 should be in very close proximity to the external current-sense resistor, and the pcb tracks from RSENSE to the RS+ and the RS– input terminals of the TS1109 should be short and symmetric. Also recommended are surface mount resistors and capacitors, as well as a ground plane. silabs.com | Smart. Connected. Energy-friendly. Rev. 1.0 | 6 TS1109 Data Sheet Electrical Characteristics 3.
