DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
The internal configuration of the TS1101 – a
bidirectional high-side, current-sense amplifier – is a
variation of the TS1100 uni-directional current-sense
amplifier. In the design of the TS1101, the input
amplifier was reconfigured for fully differential
input/output operation and a second low-threshold p-
channel FET (M2) was added where the drain
terminal of M2 is also connected to ROUT.
Therefore, the behavior of the TS1101 for when
resistor that is used to measure current. At the non-
inverting input of the TS1101 (the RS- terminal), the
applied voltage is ILOAD x RSENSE. Since the RS-
terminal is the non-inverting input of the internal op
amp, op amp feedback action forces the inverting
input of the internal op amp to the same potential
(ILOAD x RSENSE). Therefore, the voltage drop
across RSENSE (VSENSE = VRS+ - VRS-) and the
voltage drop across RGAINA (at the RS+ terminal)
are equal. Necessary for gain ratio match, both
RGAINA and RGAINB are the same value.
VRS- > VRS+ is identical for when VRS+ > VRS-
.
Referring to the typical application circuit on Page 1,
the inputs of the TS1101’s differential input/output
amplifier are connected across an external RSENSE
Since p-channel M1’s source is connected to the
inverting input of the internal op amp and since the
voltage drop across RGAINA is the same as the
