Description
The TSC1031 measures a small differential
voltage on a high-side shunt resistor and
translates it into a ground-referenced output
voltage. The TSC1031’s dedicated schematic
eases the implementation of EMI filtering in harsh
environments. The gain is adjustable to 50 V/V or
100 V/V by a selection pin.

Pin connections
(top view)
The input common-mode and power supply
voltages are independent. The common-mode
voltage can range from 2.9 to 70 V in the singlesupply configuration or be offset by an adjustable
voltage supplied on the Vcc- pin in the dualsupply configuration.
With a current consumption lower than 360 µA
and a virtually null input leakage current in
standby mode, the power consumption in the
applications is minimized.

Application schematic and pin description
Application schematic and pin description
The TSC1031 high-side current sense amplifier can be used in either single- or dual-supply
mode. In the single-supply configuration, the TSC1031 features a wide 2.9 V to 70 V input
common-mode range totally independent of the supply voltage. In the dual-supply range,
the common-mode range is shifted by the value of the negative voltage applied on the Vccpin. For instance, with Vcc+ = 5 V and Vcc- = -5 V, then the input common-mode range is
-2.1 V to 65 V.

2. These voltage values are measured with respect to the Gnd pin.
3. Human body model: a 100 pF capacitor is charged to the specified voltage, then discharged through a
1.5 kΩ resistor between two pins of the device. This is done for all couples of connected pin combinations
while the other pins are floating.
4. Machine model: a 200 pF capacitor is charged to the specified voltage, then discharged directly between
two pins of the device with no external series resistor (internal resistor < 5 Ω). This is done for all couples of
connected pin combinations while the other pins are floating.
5. Charged device model: all pins plus package are charged together to the specified voltage and then
discharged directly to ground.

Parameter definitions
5.1
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
5.2
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
5.3
Gain (Av) and input offset voltage (Vos)
The input offset voltage is defined as the intersection between the linear regression of the
Vout vs. Vsense curve with the X-axis (see Figure 17.). If Vout1 is the output voltage with
Vsense = Vsense1 and Vout2 is the output voltage with Vsense = Vsense2, then Vos can be
calculated with the following formula.
V sense1 – V sense2
V os = V sense1 – ⎛ ------------------------------------------------ ⋅ V out1⎞
⎝ V out1 – V out2
⎠

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 18 provides a graphical definition of the output voltage drift versus temperature. On
this chart Vout is always within the area defined by the maximum and minimum variation of
Vout versus T, and T = 25° C is considered to be the reference.

Output voltage accuracy
The output voltage accuracy is the difference between the actual output voltage and the
theoretical output voltage. 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,
●
the non-linearity.

The output voltage accuracy, expressed as a percentage, can be calculated with the
following formula,
abs ( V out – ( Av ⋅ V sense ) )
ΔV out = -------------------------------------------------------------------------Av ⋅ V sense
with 50 V/V or 100 V/V depending on the configuration of the SEL pin.

Maximum permissible voltages on pins
The TSC1031 can be used in either single or dual supply configuration. The dual-supply
configuration is achieved by disconnecting Vcc- and Gnd, and connecting Vcc- to a negative
supply. Figure 21 illustrates how the absolute maximum voltages on input pins Vp and Vm
are referred to the Vcc- potential, while the maximum voltages on the positive supply pin,
gain selection pins and output pins are referred to the Gnd pin. It should also be noted that
the maximum voltage between Vcc- and Vcc+ is limited to 15 V.

The current from the supply flows to the load through the Rsense resistor causing a voltage
drop equal to Vsense across Rsense. The amplifier’s 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 adjusts
current flowing through Rg1 so that the voltage drop across Rg1 exactly matches 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 is multiplied by a ratio K2 and the resulting current flows into resistor
Rg3. Therefore, the voltage drop on the Rg3 resistor can be calculated as follows.
VRg3 = Rg3.K2.IRg1 = (Rg3/Rg1).K2.Vsense= K1.K2.Vsense with K1=Rg3/Rg1=10.
The voltage across the Rg3 resistor is buffered to the Out pin by the voltage buffer, featuring
a gain equal to 2. Therefore Vout can be expressed as:
Vout = 2.K1.K2.Vsense = Av .Vsense with Av= 2.K1.K2
or: Vout = Av .Rsense.Iload

Application information
TSC1031
The current multiplier gain K2 can be set to 2.5 or 5 depending on the voltage applied on the
SEL pin.
Since they define the full-scale output range of the application, the Rsense resistor and the
amplification gain Av are important parameters and must therefore be selected carefully.
The TSC1031’s dedicated schematic eases the implementation of EMI filtering in harsh
environments. A simple filter is described in Figure 22, where the input filtering is performed
by Rf1, Rf2 and Cf.
The values of Rf1 and Rf2 should be equal so as to balance the contribution on both
amplifier inputs. The value of the Cf capacitor should be selected so that the cut-off
frequency of the first-order low-pass filter provides enough attenuation to the high frequency
interferences.
To balance the contribution of Rf1 and Rf2 in the current sense amplifier gain, an output
resistor Rf3 should be connected between pin A1 and Gnd. The value of Rf3 should be
chosen according to the following formula.
K1 = 10 = Rg3/Rg1= Rf3/Rf1 = Rf3/Rf2
If these precautions having been taken, the TSC1031’s gain is unaffected by the
implementation of the input filtering resistors.
