  • DRV421: Simulation Model

    Part Number: DRV421
    Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DRV411, TIPD184

    Hi Support team,

    do you have a simulation model for DRV421? It would be great for LTspice. If not, could you tell me how I can simulation the output signal of Icomp1 and Icomp2? I tried…

  • DRV411: How to set the gain and compensation frequency externally?

    Part Number: DRV411
    Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TIPD184,

    Hi,

    I have set up a current measurement circuit based on TIPD184. It seems to work fine.

    However now I would like to modifiy the compensation circuit to check how steady-state accuracy and…

  • DRV421: DRV421 in +/-15V applications

    Part Number: DRV421

    Hello. DRV421 can be used aven in +/-15V applications (datasheet point 8.2.3).

    However an external driver is nesessary because of the limits of the chip. What driver do you suggest? I suppose operational amplifier followed by npn+pnp…

  • RE: DRV421: DRV421 for 400A DC current

    Hello Mohamed,

    You can design a DRV421 to measure 400A DC.  I would use this calculator to determine the number of turns required and the Rshunt you would need.  Keep in mind the inductance matters (see here) and that will be dependent on the air gap and…

    Dear Sir,

    We are working on motor monitoring .and we want to know about the signature analysis of the motor for the monitoring. I was looking for some…

  • RE: UCC28950: Current detection of UCC28950

    Hi

    TI does not have any recommendations for a 100A current sense transformer. I suggest you contact a number of current transformer vendors as they may have a standard or custom part available.

    TI does have hall effect current sense devices, this is a…

  • RE: DRV421: Consultation of TI fluxgate current sensor chip

    Hello User

    Below are my responses.  

    1.The DRV401 can drive the Icomp pins to 250mA with VDD = 5V. The voltage swing on the H-Bridge is 4.2 VPP so therefore you will be limited by the number of loop in your compensation coil and the resistance of your compensation…

  • RE: DRV411: compensation coil resistance and inductance problem

    Hello Barry,

    You are correct but I would not design the system expecting the 250mA output but rather design it with the max current of 250mA.  Typically most units could reach that but for a robust system I would recommend the minimum guaranteed of 210mA…

  • RE: DRV401: On improving driving output capability Application problem

    The operational amplifier schematic of TIPD184 is dual power supply, and it is for DRV411, but I need a single power supply to improve the DRV401 recommended schematic, I do not know if there is any reference in this regard, thank you!
  • RE: DRV401: On improving driving output capability Application problem

    Hello user5854835,

    Thanks for using the forum.  You can use the circuit in TIPD184 which has the similar output amplifier to drive the compensation coil.  Please be aware that you need to have the transistors able to drive the current you require and can…

  • RE: [FAQ] What are some resources for understanding current sense amplifiers and current shunt monitors?

    The are many ways to measure current and Texas Instruments has a diverse portfolio to do exactly that!

    Dear Javier,

    Can you please pass me the your email address.

    Because i'll send you the schematic with the FET applied. NOT for Forum.

    Thanks and B/R.

    Stewart.

    Stewart,

    Thank you for using the E2E.  I would like to ask if there is a particular reason you would like to use the OPA277.  Is it just available to you.  I have used the OPA277 in many of my applications for its low offset, low noise and low drift.  For…
