Hi,
how can i calculate RIMO and RSYNTH if use a shunt resistor for current sensing instead of a current transform. In datasheet we just formula for CT.

Hello Mame Tine,
You can calculate the RIMO value based on a modification of Equation 17 in the datasheet
The factor Iin(pk)*(Rs/Nct) in this equation is actually the max output voltage of the CT so you can replace this with the peak output voltage of your OPAMP.
Normally you would set this at about 3.6V to get the max range of the CSA,CSB inputs
The value of RSYNTH can be calculated from Equation 12 by noting that Rs/Nct is actually the load resistance seen at the primary side of the CT.
So you can replace Rs/Nct by the value of the current sense resistor (Rs) used on the source of the boost MOSFET.
