Typical Application (continued)

10.2.1 Design Requirements

The design requirements are as follows:

1. Supply voltage: 5.0 V

2. Load current: ±2.5 A

3. Output: 250 mV to 2.75 V

4. Maximum shunt voltage: ±25 mV

10.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure

Low-side current sensing is desirable because the common-mode voltage is near ground. Therefore, the current-

amplifier with a reference pin. This procedure allows for the differentiation between positive and negative

currents by biasing the output stage such that it can respond to negative input voltages. There are a variety of

low-drift solution, use a monolithic reference that supplies both power and the reference voltage. Figure 46

shows the general circuit topology for a low-drift, low-side, bidirectional, current-sensing solution. This topology is

temperature, but their matching is much better than alternate topologies. For a more detailed version of the

design procedure, refer to TIDU357.
