APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
LTC1644
Calculating R
An equivalent circuit for one of the LTC1644’s circuit
breakers useful in calculating the value of the sense
resistor is shown in Figure 7. To determine the most
appropriate value for the sense resistor first requires the
maximum current required by the load under worst-case
conditions.
Two other parameters affect the value of the sense resis-
tor. First is the tolerance of the LTC1644’s circuit breaker
threshold. The LTC1644’s nominal circuit breaker thresh-
old is V
tolerance over process and temperature. Second is the
tolerance (RTOL) in the sense resistor. Sense resistors are
available in RTOLs of 1%, 2% and 5% and exhibit
temperature coefficients of resistance (TCRs) between
changes as a function of temperature depends on the I
power being dissipated by it. The power rating of the sense
resistor should accommodate steady-state fault current
levels so that the component is not damaged before the
circuit breaker trips.
The first step in calculating the value of R

R
The second step is to determine the nominal value of
the sense resistor which is dependent on its tolerance
(RTOL = 1%, 2%, or 5%) and standard sense resistor
values. Equation 7 can be used to calculate the nominal
value from the maximum value found by Equation 6:
Often, the result of Equation 7 may not yield a standard
sense resistor value. In this case, two sense resistors with
the same RTOL can be connected in parallel to yield
R
