TMCS1126: Overcurrent detection range

Part Number: TMCS1126

Tool/software:

Hello,

According to the datasheet, the MEASUREMEMT RANGE of TMCS1126C5A is -1.5A to 19.1A when Vs=3.3V.

What is the range for setting overcurrent detection using the Voc pin?

Is it possible to set 500mA using TMCS1126C5A so that when current consumption exceeds 500mA, Voc pin is output?

Thank you.

JH

  • Dear JH, 

    Thanks for using E2E.

    Unfortunately I don't believe this overcurrent setting would be possible. As per the datasheet, the equation used to set the overcurrent point on the device is given in section 8 as 

    Applying this equation to the 150mV/A sensitivity of the C5A variant, we derive that the needed VOC voltage for this OC set point would be 30mV, but this falls outside of the valid range for the VOC set point shown in the EC table:
