LM3822 Precision Current Gauge IC with Internal Zero Ohm Sense Element and PWM Output

July 2000

General Description

The LM3822 Current Gauge provides easy to use precision current measurement with virtually zero insertion loss (typically 0.003Ω). The LM3822 is used for high-side sensing.

A Delta Sigma analog to digital converter is incorporated to precisely measure the current and to provide a current averaging function. Current is averaged over 50 msec time periods in order to provide immunity to current spikes. The ICs have a pulse-width modulated (PWM) output which indicates the current magnitude and direction. The shutdown pin can be used to inhibit false triggering during start-up, or to enter a low quiescent current mode.

The LM3822 is factory-set in two different current options. The sense range is −1.0A to +1.0A or −2.0A to +2.0A. The sampling interval for this part is 50ms. If faster sampling is desired, please refer to the data sheet for the part number LM3824.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is intended to be functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see Electrical Characteristics. The guaranteed specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics may degrade when the device is not operated under the listed test conditions.

Note 2: At elevated temperatures, devices must be derated based on package thermal resistance. The device in the surface-mount package must be derated at θ = 220˚C/W (typically), junction-to-ambient.

Note 3: The human body model is a 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 kΩ resistor into each pin. Note 4: The absolute maximum peak and continuous currents specified are not tested. These specifications are dependent on the θ

MSOP-8 package.

Note 5: Typicalnumbers are at 25˚C and represent the most likely parametric norm. Specifications in standard type face are for T typeapply over full operating temperature ranges.

Note 6: Limits are 100% production tested at 25˚C. Limits over the operating temperature range are guaranteed through correlation using Statistical Quality Control

(SQC) methods. The limits are used to calculate National’s Average Outgoing Quality Level (AOQL).

Note 7: There is a variation in accuracy over time due to thermal effects. Please refer to the “PWM Output and Current Accuracy” section for more information. Note 8: This parameter is production tested at 1A and guaranteed by design at 2A. Note 9: The tolerance of the internal lead frame resistor is corrected internally. The temperature coefficient of this resistor is 2600 ppm/˚C.
