APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
a signifi cant load on the power supply and create thermal
design headaches. In addition, heating in the sense resistor
can reduce its accuracy and reliability.
In contrast, the large dynamic range of the LTC6102 allows
the use of a much smaller sense resistor. The LTC6102
allows the minimum sense voltage to be reduced to less
than 10μV. The peak sense voltage would then be 10mV,
dissipating only 1W at 100A in a 100μΩ sense resistor!
With a specialized sense resistor, the same system would
allow peak currents of more than 1000A without exceeding
the input range of the LTC6102 or damaging the shunt.
Sense Resistor Connection
Kelvin connection of +IN and –INS to the sense resistor
should be used in all but the lowest power applications.
Solder connections and PC board interconnections that
carry high current can cause signifi cant error in measure-
ment due to their relatively large resistances. One 10mm
× 10mm square trace of one-ounce copper is approxi-
mately 0.5mΩ. A 1mV error can be caused by as little
as 2A fl owing through this small interconnect. This will
cause a 1% error in a 100mV signal. A 10A load current
in the same interconnect will cause a 5% error for the
same 100mV signal. An additional error is caused by the
change in copper resistance over temperature, which is in
excess of 0.4%/°C. By isolating the sense traces from the

high-current paths, this error can be reduced by orders of
magnitude. A sense resistor with integrated Kelvin sense
terminals will give the best results. Figure 2 illustrates the
recommended method. Note that the LTC6102 has a Kelvin
input structure such that current fl ows into –INF . The –INS
and –INF pins should be tied as close as possible to R
This reduces the parasitic series resistance so that R
may be as low as 1Ω, allowing high gain settings to be
used with very little gain error.
