LM5060-Q1: Over Current Threshold

Part Number: LM5060-Q1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LM5060

In the design calculator tool of LM5060-Q1 there is a huge difference in the Over current threshold values (Min, Typical, Max)

would like to know how to calculate these and apply to end application ..

Required current limit - 90Amps

  • Hi,

    It’s expected due to FET Rds variation with temperature and wide variation of LM5060 internal sensing parameters with the temperature.

    For example,  Minimum Worst-Case Overcurrent Threshold  = (RS*1000)*ISNSMIN-VOFFSETMAX) / [(RDSMAX/1000)*TRDSMAX]

    Uses equation (1) in the datasheet but takes the Rds variation with the temperature  in to account

     Please plug-in the values and check.

    Best Regards, Rakesh
