APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Error Sources
supply current can cause an output error if trace resistance between R The current sense system uses an amplifi er and resistors SENSE and +IN is signifi cant (Figure 4). to apply gain and level shift the result. The output is then EOUT(RT_+IN) = (IS • RT/RIN) • ROUT dependent on the characteristics of the amplifi er, such as Trace resistance to the –IN pin will increase the effective bias current and input offset, as well as resistor matching. RIN value, causing a gain error. In addition, internal device Ideally, the circuit output is: resistance will add approximately 0.3Ω to RIN. R Minimizing the trace resistance is important and care V = V OUT OUT SENSE • R should be taken in the PCB layout. Make the trace short IN and wide. Kelvin connection to the shunt resistor pad V = R • I SENSE SENSE SENSE should be used. In this case, the only error is due to resistor mismatch, V+ which provides an error in gain only. However, offset ILOAD RSENSE voltage, bias current and fi nite gain in the amplifi er cause LOAD additional errors. RIN R R T T

+IN –IN R IS E = V OUT + – OUT(VOS) OS • RIN VS The DC offset voltage of the amplifi er adds directly to the 1/2 OUT value of the sense voltage, V V– SENSE. This is the dominant LTC6103 error of the system and it limits the available dynamic R range. The paragraph, Selection of External Current Sense OUT Resistor provides details. 6103 F04
