Si85XX UNIDIRECTIONAL AC CURRENT SENSORS

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Si85xx series are unidirectional AC current sensors designed for high precision and low loss applications. They offer advantages over traditional technologies like current transformers and Hall effect devices.
Features: Available in full-scale ranges of 5, 10, and 20 A, these sensors have a low series resistance of less than 1.3 mΩ and series inductance of less than 2 nH. They provide a 2 VPP output signal at full scale with an accuracy of ±5% and operate over a temperature range of –40 to 125 ºC with 1,000 VDC isolation.
Applications: Suitable for power supplies, motor controls, lighting equipment, and industrial equipment.
Electrical Specifications: Operate with a supply voltage range of 2.7 to 5.5 V and a supply current of 4 to 7 mA. They feature an undervoltage lockout (UVLO) to prevent erroneous operation during startup and shutdown.
Functional Overview: The Si85xx mimics traditional current transformer circuits with enhanced performance, using inductive current sensing and on-board signal conditioning to generate a proportional output signal. Features include leading-edge noise suppression and a "Ping-Pong" output mode for full-bridge applications.
Performance: High accuracy is maintained across a wide frequency range and temperature variations. A built-in watchdog timer disables measurement if limits are exceeded, ensuring reliable operation.
Design Considerations: Easy integration with no special board layout requirements. Flexibility in integrator reset operation, configurable based on application needs.
Conclusion: The Si85xx series offers a compact, cost-effective solution for precise AC current sensing, with superior noise immunity and low power loss, ideal for modern electronic applications.
Specifications and Features: The Si85xx family eliminates leading-edge noise spikes without blanking and includes a FAULT output to guard against output signal errors. Configurable in various output modes, including Single output and Ping-Pong modes.
Procedures and Configuration: Involves selecting an output mode, configuring integrator reset timing, and setting the integrator reset time (tR). The Si85xx should be placed away from magnetic field sources and powered from a low-noise DC source. Recommended bypass capacitors are 1 µF in parallel with a 0.1 µF.
Device Configuration: Offers three output modes: Single output, 2-Wire Ping-Pong, and 4-Wire Ping-Pong, suitable for different applications like single-phase, full-bridge, and push-pull converters. Reset timing signals must satisfy specific conditions for accurate measurements.
Application Examples: Includes configurations for single-phase buck converters, full-bridge converters, and push-pull converters, detailing setup and timing requirements for optimal performance.
Pin Descriptions and Ordering Guide: Provides detailed pin descriptions and an ordering guide with specifications such as full-scale current, error percentage, and temperature range.
Package Outline: Includes the package outline for the 12-Pin QFN, with dimensions and a diagram.
Contact Information: Contact details for Silicon Laboratories Inc. are provided for further inquiries.

FAULT output (Si8517/8/9): goes low when external reset timing is in error. > Ease-of-use: Other than conventional power and grounding techniques, no special board layout considerations are required. Built-in timing interface circuits allow already available system switching signals to be used for resetno external circuits required. The Si85xx measures current flowing from the IIN toIOUT terminals. Current is allowed to flow in the opposite direction, but will not be measured (OUT1 andOUT 2 remain at their minimum values during reversecurrent flow. Reverse current flow will not damage the Si85xx).To...

2-wire Ping-Pong mode is useful mainly in non-overlapping two-phase buck converters, but may alsobe used in full-bridge applications. In this output mode,reset inputs R1 and R2 are used, and input R3 isgrounded. Measured current appears on OUT1 whenR2 is high, and appears on OUT2 when R1 is high asshown in the full-bridge timing example of Figure9. > The FAULT output (Si8517/8/9) guards against Si85xxoutput signal errors caused by missing reset cycles.FAULT is asserted when a measurement cycle exceedsthe internal watchdog timer times limit of t > WD .
