The current sense resistor (std 1% 0.025 ohm) was chosen for the range of current: 0A-10A (actual range is 0A-10.8A in the linear region). Is the board layout optimized; is there anything that I could change? I understand that I can narrow th...
The capacitor to resistor does not have the diff routing since it is right next to the sense resistor in the layout.
Today I tried something different: I soldered a wire loop before the current sense resistor (I know not the best practice but I wanted to see) and the current through the loop was different than what is measured on the output AC lines HOWEVER the current matched the voltage reading...
Figure 5. PCB layout for the circuit in Figure 1. Conclusion The IC in Figure 1 (MAX5035 or MAX5033) offers an efficient and cost-effective way to generate a constant-current source for driving high-brightness LEDs. Some of the benefits of that circuit design are summarized below: ...
even the best PCB layout cannot adequately suppress noise superimposed on the current-sense signal. One way to circumvent this problem is by using voltage-mode control, VMC, an old but proven technique. VMC improves noise immunity and efficiency, but requires a certain amount of l...
it can only sense the inductor current when Switch B or Switch C is turned on; this is the inductor valley current in the buck region or the peak current in the boost region, respectively. PCB layout options will be limited because the two MOSFETs (B and C) are connected to the current...

It is possible to utilize a small sense resistor and amplify the current sense signal with a differential amplifier circuit. An issue with this circuit is the problems associated with noise pickup on the current signal. So careful attention to pcb layout and routi...
A Kelvin connection, also known as a four terminal connection or a force-sense, is required to make sure that minimal additional resistance is present to alter the differential voltage developed between the input pins of the amplifier. There are PCB layout techniques to reduce the effect of ...
Layout Example 10.1.1 PC Board Layout Recommendations In a buck regulator the primary switching loop consists of the input capacitor, NMOS power switches and current sense resistor. Minimizing the area of this loop reduces the stray inductance and minimizes noise and possible erratic operation. High...
