Design Example
A current monitor is required to provide an output voltage of 2V ±6% when the load current of a 12V supply is 2A. Resistors
are available with 1% tolerance.
The sense and output resistors will contribute a total possible error of 2%, so the ZXCT11xx error must not exceed 4%. From
Table 1, the error of ZXCT1107/1109 will be 3.4% if the sense voltage is 100mV. This satisfies the total error requirement of
6%.
Equation 4 gives
Equation 5 gives
A suitable preferred value is 5.1kΩ. This gives a systematic error of +2%, which can be compensated elsewhere in the
system if desired. Figure 2 shows the resulting schematic.
