PMP8606: current sense transformer

Part Number: PMP8606


In the TI reference design PMP8606, the current sense transformer T1 is implemented with coilcraft part CS4100V-01L

I noticed that this part is rated to 24A. however, the input current for this application is significantly lower, averaging <1A @ 350V & 250W . Can you provide me some insight into why this particular current sense transformer was used? Would a smaller current sense transformer rated to only 10 or 5 A still be applicable to this design?

  • Hoang, hello and thanks for your interest in Texas Instruments TI Designs. We have conferred with the Power Supply Design team and the designer any 100:1 current sense transformer that is able to handle the input current will be suitable for application to this design.
