TLV6001-Q1: Operation error

Part Number: TLV6001-Q1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TLV9001, , TLV9001-Q1, INA180-Q1

Hi, 

The customer experienced a problem with the operation after configuring the circuit.

The circuit increased R101 (Rshunt) from 0.1 ohm to 1.4 ohm, but it does not work.

Is it the same problem as offset error?

It seems to work only when it is increased to approximately 5 ohms or more.

Are there any circuit problems?

The circuit shows the difference when changing as shown below.

R106 = R107

R108 = R109

The behavior depends on the R106 (=R107) Value.

Please advise what kind of difference there is depending on the value of R106(=R107).

And, customer changed it to TLV9001 and tested it, but it was not resolved.

  • What are the voltages at pins 1 and 3 of the opamp? Anything above 5.2 V would not work; the TLV6001-Q1 or TLV9001-Q1 do not allow input voltages above their own supply.

    The INA180-Q1 would be a better idea for this application.

  • Hey Cho,

    For the above table, the below table shows what would be your ideal values for your output.

    Current 20mA 525mA
    Gain 30 600mV 15.75V
    60 1.2V 31.5V
    60 1.2V 31.5V

    The op amp will not output a voltage above the supply rail, so you will have to lower your gain to have a full swing on your output. If the max current is 525mA, the maximum gain you can have for a linear response is 9.33.

    You can switch to a dedicated current sense amplifier, but that device is just an integrated version of the above circuit. You can input a voltage above the supply rail as long as the current is limited to below 10mA.

    Best,
    Jerry
