Current Sensing

When accurate current sensing is required, a low value resistor is

commonly used to generate a voltage proportional to the output

current. The introduction of such a current sense resistor increases

the circuit losses along with overall converter size and cost. Using an

output inductor with a tight DCR tolerance will eliminate the need for

the current sense resistor.

Figure 2 – Inductor current sensing circuit

The trend in modern power conversion is for high power density,

reduced volume and increased efficiency. The drive for smaller, more

efficient solutions presents a number of challenges for circuit design

and component selection.

Inductor selection in high current core power applications is based on

a need for high peak current ratings and low high frequency losses.

These two requirements lead designers in different directions

resulting in a compromise solution. Designers are forced to select

low inductance values to reduce inductor size (and ensure fast

transient responses which results in high ripple currents needing to

be absorbed by the inductor increasing losses) or select higher

inductance values to reduce the ripple current and losses - but at a

sacrifice of inductor size, efficiency and transient responses.

The material of choice for core power multi-phase uncoupled

inductors is ferrite. Core power applications require a high saturation,

high frequency, low loss, wide temperature range ferrite material to

be selected. The reduced core loss at high frequency (coupled with a

very low Direct Current Resistance - DCR - single turn rectangular

conductor) ensures high efficiency (see Figure 1).

Figure 1 -Typical Three-Phase Voltage Regulator Module (VRM)

Figure 2 shows a typical inductor current sense circuit, where the

voltage across Csis equal to the volt drop across the inductor DCR

when the RC time constant is equal to the inductor time constant

(R*C=L/RI). The low DC resistance at tight tolerance enables the

inductor to also function as a current sensor (DCR Sensing). The

Cooper Bussmann Coiltronics®Flat-Pac™ Series of inductors offers

the largest variety of sizes, ratings, DCR options and stands out as the

industry leader in multi-phase uncoupled core power applications.

Comparing the performance of traditional ferrite inductors (such as the

FP2 with the new DCR current sense inductors from Cooper

Bussmann) it can be seen that the benefits go beyond the elimination

of sensing resistors.

From Table 1 it can be seen that in addition to offering three different

DCR values and tolerances the FP0705 has better performance over

the traditional FP2 inductor. The FP0705 also has greater core loss

stability over a wide temperature range, which is a consideration that

is often overlooked during converter design. Almost all inductor

specifications show room temperature values. However, the effects of

increased temperature need to be accounted for as peak current

ratings are reduced and losses increased at elevated temperatures.

The Cooper Bussmann Coiltronics®Flat-Pac™ Series of DCR current

sensing inductors is available in footprints of 7 x 7mm, 7 x 8mm,

10 x 7mm, 10 x 8mm and 11 x 8mm with many inductance value

ranges and DCR tolerances. All parts exhibit low DCR, high peak

current ratings and very low high frequency core losses that remain

stable over a wide temperature range. The Flat-Pac™ inductors are

also RoHS compliant and Halogen Free. The combination of these

characteristics make the new Flat-Pac™ inductors ideal for high

computer core power applications.
