Application Information (cont.)

Note that in order to avoid additional error, VSUPPLY must be at least 1.5V greater than VOUT. This margin depends on the

value of VSENSE. For VSENSE = 100mV, this margin can be reduced to 1.0V.

RSENSE is chosen based on the threshold VSENSET of sense voltage selected as above, for the chosen threshold load current,

ILOADT.

Equation 4

RGAIN is chosen to give the required threshold output voltage, VOUTT. From Equation 1, the threshold output current is

IOUTT = 0.004 * VSENSET

Design Example

A current monitor is required to provide an output voltage of 2V ±6% when the load current of a 12V supply is 2A. Resistors

are available with 1% tolerance.

The sense and output resistors will contribute a total possible error of 2%, so the ZXCT11xx error must not exceed 4%. From

Table 1, the error of ZXCT1107/1109 will be 3.4% if the sense voltage is 100mV. This satisfies the total error requirement of

6%.

Equation 4 gives

RSENSE = 100mV/2A = 50mΩ

Equation 5 gives

GAIN =

Ω

A suitable preferred value is 5.1k

Ω. This gives a systematic error of +2%, which can be compensated elsewhere in the

system if desired. Figure 2 shows the resulting schematic.
