Getting started with the STEVAL-AETKT4V1 evaluation kit for high precision
bidirectional and high voltage current sense amplifiers
Introduction
TSC202x family is a current sense amplifier specially designed to accurately measure current by amplifying the voltage across a
shunt resistor connected to its input. It is a zero-drift topology allowing to reach a high CMRR level of 100dB min and high level
of input offset voltage of 200µV at 12V common mode voltage and over temperature.
Multiple fixed gain versions are available (x20, x50, x100) for design optimization. Thanks to the use of thin film resistor,
TSC202x offers an extremely precise gain and very high CMRR performance even in high frequency range. Moreover, there is
the possibility to fix the output common mode voltage allowing the TSC202x to be either used as unidirectional or bidirectional
current sensing amplifier.
TSC202x provides an extended input common range from -4V below negative supply voltage, and up to 100V allowing either
low side or high side current sensing, while the TSC202x devices can operate from 2.7 to 5.5 V.
TSC202x embedded a system to optimize the PWM rejection, allowing to reduce the effect of fast input common mode voltage
variation, on the output signal.
The parameters are very stable in the full Vcc range, and several characterization curves show the TSC2020 device
characteristics at 2.7V and 5.0 V. Additionally, the main specifications are guaranteed in extended temperature ranges from -40
to 125 °C.

  • Page 3: Setting

    UM3408 Setting Setting The connector J5 (5 pins) on the right of the board allows you to set up the power supply voltage, output common mode voltage, and read the current sense output voltage. The connector J1 and J3 allow a quick setup of the output common mode voltage. The connector J4, on the left of the board is used to set the inputs of the TSC202x current sensing.
  • Page 4: Unidirectional/Bidirectional Operation

    UM3408 Unidirectional/bidirectional operation Unidirectional/bidirectional operation The TSC202x output common mode voltage level can be set thanks to voltages applied on the Vref1 and Vref2 pins. These two pins allow to set the device either in bidirectional or in unidirectional operation. The voltage applied on those pins must not exceed the Vcc range.
  • Page 5: Bidirectional Operation

    UM3408 Unidirectional/bidirectional operation Vout = IN − IN *Gain + Vcc − This configuration allows the full-scale output in unidirectional mode to measure a current flowing into the shunt from IN+ to IN-. Bidirectional operation Bidirectional mode of operation allows the device to measure currents through a shunt resistor in two directions. The output reference can be set anywhere within the power supply range.
  • Page 6 UM3408 Unidirectional/bidirectional operation When the output common mode voltage is supplied by an external power supply, to improve the output voltage measurement, it is recommended to measure the Vout differentially with respect to Vref voltage. It will provide the best CMRR measurement, the best noise immunity and a more accurate Vout voltage. A decoupling capacitance of 1nF minimum can be also added to better filter the power supply UM3408 - Rev 2 page 6/20...
