The gain is internally fixed. Wide input common-mode voltage range, low quiescent current, and tiny SOT23 packaging enable use in a wide variety of applications. Input common-mode and power supply voltages are independent. Common-mode voltage can range from 2.8V to 30V in operating conditions and up to 60V in absolute maximum ratings. Current consumption lower than 300µA and wide supply voltage range allow to connect the power supply to either side of the current measurement shunt with minimal error.

Unit nV/√ Hz 7/18 Parameter definitions 4 TSC101 Parameter definitions Common mode rejection ratio (CMR) The common-mode rejection ratio (CMR) measures the ability of the current-sensing amplifier to reject any DC voltage applied on both inputs Vp and Vm. The CMR is referred back to the input so that its effect can be compared with the applied differential signal. The CMR is defined by the formula: ΔV out CMR = – 20 ⋅ log -----------------------------ΔV icm ⋅ Av Supply voltage rejection ratio (SVR) The supply-voltage rejection ratio (SVR) measures the ability of the current-sensing amplifier to reject any variation of the supply voltage VCC. The SVR is referred back to the input so that its effect can be compared with the applied differential signal. The SVR is defined by the formula: ΔV out SVR = – 20 ⋅ log ----------------------------ΔV CC ⋅ Av 8/18 TSC101 Parameter definitions Gain (Av) and input offset voltage (Vos) The input offset voltage is defined as the intersection between the linear regression of Vout vs. Vsense curve with the X-axis (see Figure 2). If Vout1 is the output voltage with Vsense=Vsense1=50mV and Vout2 is the output voltage with Vsense=Vsense2=5mV, then Vos can be calculated with the following formula: V sense1 – V sense2 V os = V sense1 – ⎛ ------------------------------------------------ ⋅ V out1⎞ ⎝ V out1 – V out2 ⎠ The amplification gain Av is defined as the ratio between output voltage and input differential voltage: V out Av = ----------------V sense Figure 2. Vout versus Vsense characteristics: detail for low Vsense values Vout V0 5mV 50mV Vsense 9/18 Parameter definitions TSC101 Output voltage drift versus temperature The output voltage drift versus temperature is defined as the maximum variation of Vout with respect to its value at 25°C, over the temperature range.It is calculated as follows: ΔV out V out ( T amb ) – V out ( 25° C ) ----------------- = max -------------------------------------------------------------------------ΔT T amb – 25° C with Tmin < Tamb < Tmax. Figure 3 provides a graphical definition of output voltage drift versus temperature. On this chart, Vout is always comprised in the grey area defined by the maximum and minimum variation of Vout vs. T, and T=25°C is considered to be the reference. Figure 3.

Ideally, the current sensing output voltage should be equal to the input differential voltage multiplied by the theoretical gain, as in the following formula: Vout-th=Av . Vsense The actual value is very slightly different, mainly due to the effects of: ● the input offset voltage Vos, ● non-linearity, ● VOL and VOH voltage saturation (see Figure 5 on page 12) Figure 4. Vout vs. Vsense theoretical and actual characteristics Vout actual ideal Vsense 5mV The output voltage accuracy, expressed in percentage, can be calculated with the following formula: abs ( V out – ( Av ⋅ V sense ) ) ΔV out = -------------------------------------------------------------------------Av ⋅ V sense with Av=20V/V for TSC101A, Av=50V/V for TSC101B and Av=100V/V for TSC101C. 11/18 Parameter definitions TSC101 Output voltage range The output voltage versus input differential voltage is linear in a range of output voltage limited by high-level and low-level saturation voltage.

Figure 6. Typical application schematic Vsense Iload 2.8V to 30V Rsense load Vp V Rg1 Rg2 TSC101 5V Vreg VCC VCC ADC Rg3 Out Vout GND Microcontroller GND The current from the supply flows to the load through the Rsense resistor causing a voltage drop equal to Vsense across Rsense. The amplifier input currents are negligible, therefore its inverting input voltage is equal to Vm. The amplifier's open-loop gain forces its non-inverting input to the same voltage as the inverting input. As a consequence, the amplifier will adjust current flowing through Rg1 so that the voltage drop across Rg1 will exactly match Vsense. Therefore, the drop across Rg1 is: VRg1=Vsense=Rsense.Iload If IRg1 is the current flowing through Rg1, then IRg1 is given by the formula: IRg1=Vsense/Rg1 The IRg1 current flows entirely into resistor Rg3 (the input bias current of the buffer is negligible). Therefore, the voltage drop on the Rg3 resistor can be calculated as follows: VRg3=Rg3.IRg1=(Rg3/Rg1).Vsense 13/18 Application information TSC101 Because the voltage across the Rg3 resistor is buffered to the Out pin, Vout can be expressed as: Vout=(Rg3/Rg1).Vsense or Vout=(Rg3/Rg1).Rsense.Iload The resistor ratio Rg3/Rg1 is internally set to 20V/V for TSC101A, to 50V/V for TSC101B and to 100V/V for TSC101C. Because they define the full scale output range of your application, the Rsense resistor and the Rg3/Rg1 resistor ratio (equal to Av) are important parameters, and therefore must be selected carefully. 14/18 TSC101 6 Package information Package information In order to meet environmental requirements, STMicroelectronics offers these devices in ECOPACK® packages.
