10.2 Typical Application

Inline sensing of inductive load currents, such as motor phases, provides significant benefits to the performance

of a control systems, allowing advanced control algorithms and diagnostics with minimal postprocessing. A

primary challenge to inline sensing is that the current sensor is subjected to full HV supply-level PWM transients

driving the load. The inherent isolation of an in-package Hall-effect current sensor topology helps overcome this

challenge, providing high common-mode immunity, as well as isolation between the high-voltage motor drive

levels and the low-voltage control circuitry. Figure 48 illustrates the use of the TMCS1100 in such an application,

driving the inductive load presented by a three phase motor.

10.2.1 Design Requirements

For current sensing of a three-phase motor application, make sure to provide linear sensing across the expected

current range, and make sure that the device remains within working thermal constraints. A single TMCS1100 for

each phase can be used, or two phases can be measured, and the third phase calculated on the motor-controller

host processor. For this example, consider a nominal supply of 5 V but a minimum of 4.9 V to include for some

supply variation. Maximum output swings are defined according to TMCS1100 specifications, and a full-scale

current measurement of ±20 A is required.
