Problems solved by technology

Thus, the sensing efficiency drops sharply
[0012] Third, due to the use of OP-AMP 34 to configure negative feedback, it increases the limitation on bandwidth
[0013] Fourth, a bias is generated by the gain of the OP-AMP 34, and if the temperature changes, the difference in the temperature coefficients of the common gate TR 36, the power TR 12, and the sensing TR 32 will distort the waveform of the signal
[0014] Fifth, according to the range of the input voltage of the OP-AMP 34, the distortion of the sensing current value is generated
[0015] Sixth, due to the limitation of the output voltage range of the OP-AMP 34, it is impossible to sense tiny current values ​​(eg, 100mA~3A)
[0018] However, as the capacity of the DC-DC converter increases, the above-mentioned problems arise or become more serious

Abstract

A current sensing circuit includes a power transistor, a sensing transistor M1 configured to copy a current flowing through the power transistor at a predetermined ratio, a current sensing resistor R1 configured to detect a voltage from the current copied by the sensing transistor M1, an input resistor configured to convert an input voltage VIN to a current, a cross self-biasing cascade block configured to adjust currents at both ends of the input resistor, and a common gate transistor M3 and a reference resistor R4 configured to convert a current output of the input resistor to a final sense voltage. Therefore, the invention maximizes the conversion efficiency and minimizes the lost caused by current sensing.

Description

[0001] Related Application Cross Reference [0002] This application claims priority from Korean Patent Application No. 10-2008-0138064 filed on December 31, 2008, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to a converter, and more particularly, to a current sensing circuit. While the present invention is suitable for a wide range of applications, it is particularly useful for maximizing conversion efficiency and minimizing losses in current sensing. Background technique [0004] Generally, current technology trends of DC-DC converters include miniaturization, high efficiency and large capacity. For miniaturization, traditional board-level system circuits are integrated at the IC (Integrated Circuit) level. In addition, various techniques (eg, current sensing techniques) have been proposed to achieve high efficiency. [0005] Conversely, in order to achieve a large capacitance, the size of the ...
