General Texas Instruments High Voltage Evaluation (TI HV EVM) User Safety Guidelines

SBOU209A–August 2019–Revised March 2020

TMCS1100EVM

1 General Texas Instruments High Voltage Evaluation (TI HV EVM) User Safety Guidelines

Always follow TI’s setup and application instructions, including use of all interface components within their

recommended electrical rated voltage and power limits. Always use electrical safety precautions to help

ensure your personal safety and those working around you. Contact TI's Product Information Center

http://support/ti./com for further information.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

WARNING

Failure to follow warnings and instructions may result in personal injury,

property damage or death due to electrical shock and burn hazards.

The term TI HV EVM refers to an electronic device typically provided as an open framed, unenclosed

printed circuit board assembly. It is intended strictly for use in development laboratory environments,

solely for qualified professional users having training, expertise and knowledge of electrical safety risks in

development and application of high voltage electrical circuits. Any other use and/or application are strictly

prohibited by Texas Instruments. If you are not suitable qualified, you should immediately stop from further

use of the HV EVM.

1. Work Area Safety

a. Keep work area clean and orderly.

b. Qualified observer(s) must be present anytime circuits are energized.

c. Effective barriers and signage must be present in the area where the TI HV EVM and its interface

electronics are energized, indicating operation of accessible high voltages may be present, for the

purpose of protecting inadvertent access.

d. All interface circuits, power supplies, evaluation modules, instruments, meters, scopes and other

related apparatus used in a development environment exceeding 50Vrms/75VDC must be

electrically located within a protected Emergency Power Off EPO protected power strip.

e. Use stable and nonconductive work surface.

f. Use adequately insulated clamps and wires to attach measurement probes and instruments. No

freehand testing whenever possible.

2. Electrical Safety

As a precautionary measure, it is always a good engineering practice to assume that the entire EVM

may have fully accessible and active high voltages.

a. De-energize the TI HV EVM and all its inputs, outputs and electrical loads before performing any

electrical or other diagnostic measurements. Revalidate that TI HV EVM power has been safely

de-energized.

b. With the EVM confirmed de-energized, proceed with required electrical circuit configurations,

wiring, measurement equipment connection, and other application needs, while still assuming the

EVM circuit and measuring instruments are electrically live.

c. After EVM readiness is complete, energize the EVM as intended.

WARNING

While the EVM is energized, never touch the EVM or its electrical

circuits, as they could be at high voltages capable of causing electrical

shock hazard.

3. Personal Safety

a. Wear personal protective equipment (for example, latex gloves or safety glasses with side shields)

or protect EVM in an adequate lucent plastic box with interlocks to protect from accidental touch.

Limitation for safe use:

EVMs are not to be used as all or part of a production unit.

2 Overview

The TMCS1100 Hall-effect current sense amplifier (also called an isolated current-sense amplifier) senses

magnetic flux generated from current passing through the lead frame at common-mode voltages from 0

VDC to 600 VDC, independent of the supply voltage. Four fixed gains are available: 50 mV/A, 100 mV/A,

200 mV/A, and 400 mV/A. These devices operate from a single 3-V to 5.5-V power supply, drawing a

maximum of 5 mA of supply current per amplifier channel. The TMCS1100 is currently available in an 8-

pin, SOIC, surface-mount package. Table 1 lists the available gain options.

TMCS1100EVM

3.2 Circuitry

This section summarizes the TMCS1100EVM components. For the following circuits, x = A to D for the A1

to A4 gain variants, respectively.

3.2.1 Bypass Capacitors

C1x and C2x are 10-μF and 0.1-μF supply bypass capacitors, respectively, for the TMCS1100. C5x is the

0.1-μF bypass capacitor for the optional temperature sensor. C6x is the 0.1-μF bypass capacitor for the

optional buffer amplifier.

3.2.2 Output Filter

C3x and R1x are footprints for the optional output filter. Default values are 0 Ωand 10 pF. However, no

capacitors are installed. TP2x is the test point for the TMCS1100 output.

3.2.3 VREF Input Filter

C4x and R2x are footprints for the optional VREF input filter. Default values are 0 Ωand 10 pF. However,

no capacitors are installed. TP3x serves as a test-point for the filtered input to the TMCS1100 VREF pin

while TP7x serves as a test point for the prefiltered input to the TMCS1100 VREF pin. J1x is a jumper that

conveniently allows the TMCS1100 reference to be shorted to ground, connected directly to an external

power supply, or shorted to a voltage set by a buffered voltage divider.

3.2.4 Buffer Amplifier Filter and Divider

C7x and R3x serve as a low-pass filter to the buffer amplifier. R3x and R4x serve as a voltage divider to

set the buffered voltage input to the TMCS1100 VREF pin. R5x serves as short that connects the voltage

divider directly to VREF SOURCE. R5x is left open and unpopulated by default.

3.2.5 Measurement Connector

J2x is an additional connector for measuring VREF Source, VCC, and VOUT. J2x also provides a

connection for measuring board temperature (TMP).

3.2.6 Load Connectors

T1x and T2x correspond to the high-current rated load connectors. By default, the EVM is only populated

with two of these connectors on the lowest gain variant A1, x = A. The IS+ (T1x) and IS– (T2x) inputs

accept a load that is converted to a magnetic field sensed by a Hall element that produces a voltage. This

voltage is amplified by the selected device gain and is presented at the VOUT test point (TP2x). The

acceptable load input maximum is 20 A for dc measurements. However, the load can be significantly

higher for ac signals, and the load is bound by the safe operating area (SOA) described in the TMCS1100

data sheet.

3.2.7 Ground Test Points

TP4x, TP5x, and TP6x correspond to ground connections of the TMCS1100 device.

3.2.8 TMCS1100 Isolated Current-Sense Amplifier

U1x is the TMCS1100 isolated current-sense amplifier. Four gain-option segments are supplied within the

TMCS1100EVM board. Each segment is populated with one of the available device gains. This

configuration enables users to test the devices and determine the best gain setting for a given application.

For x = A to D, the gain is 50 mV/A, 100 mV/A, 200 mV/A, and 400 mV/A, respectively.

• The TMCS1100 can be used for both unidirectional and bidirectional applications.

• A magnetic field is generated based on the load current that is connected across the inputs IS+ and

IS–, and flows through the TMCS1100 leadframe.

• The output voltage swing limitation and required load current sensing range are the key factors when

determining device selection.

Hardware

SBOU209A–August 2019–Revised March 2020

TMCS1100EVM

• The selected device must allow the output voltage to remain within the acceptable range after the load

current is transduced and amplified by the respective device gain. The maximum output voltage must

remain within the range of 25 mV above ground to 100 mV below the supply voltage.

• Choose an appropriate gain to create the largest appropriate output swing, and to minimize error.

3.2.9 Temperature Sensor

U2x is a temperature sensor that is not required for TMCS1100 operation. However, U2x provides the

option of measuring board temperature for determining ambient conditions.

3.2.10 Reference Divider Buffer

U3x is the TLV376IDBVR. U3X is configured as a buffer that sets the TMCS1100 at mid-supply according

to the voltage divider composed of R3x and R4x by default. The user has the option to either short out this

buffer with a 0-Ωresistor at R5x or replace the amplifier with another amplifier that has a common-mode

range and output-swing range that allows for a divided voltage of interest.

4 Operation

The following are instructions to set up and use the TMCS1100EVM. For the following instructions, x = A

to D for the A1 to A4 gain variants, respectively. Figure 1 shows an example of a simple, low-side,

unidirectional setup on the A1 (50 mV/A) gain variant (x = A). For bidirectional measurements, the user

can either connect jumper J1x to the buffer with a custom voltage divider set by the user, or connect an

additional external supply to the VREF SOURCE and GND test points, as shown in Figure 2. This device

has isolation; external supplies are distinguished by hot for load, cold for DUT supply, and REF for VREF

supply. Short the GND terminals for the cold and REF supplies together. The hot supply can be isolated

and at a different potential.

Figure 1. Low-Side Unidirectional Setup Figure 2. Low-Side Bidirectional Setup

Step 1. For greater maneuverable flexibility, break apart the EVM sub boards along the score lines.

Otherwise, the board can be left intact.

Step 2. Attach the high-current lug connectors to IS+ and IS– of the gain version to be tested.

Step 3. Connect the terminals of an external cold supply to the GND and VCC test points on the EVM

gain variant of choice. Be sure to connect GND first and make sure that the external cold

supply is between 3 V and 5.5 V.

Step 4. To set the VREF voltage, use an external REF supply, use a buffered voltage divider, or

short VREF to GND. When VREF is supplied by the buffered voltage divider, set the jumper

to short VREF to the buffer pin on connector J1x. When the VREF voltage is supplied by an

external REF supply, remove the jumper short from J1x, and apply a supply to the VREF

SOURCE and GND test points with a voltage set between GND and VCC.

Step 5. Connect the input per Section 4.1.

WARNING

Do not leave EVM powered when unattended.

Hot surface. Contact may cause burns. Do not touch!

4.1 Measurements

The following procedures are used to configure a measurement evaluation with an electronic load. For the

following instructions, x = A to D for the A1 to A4 gain variants, respectively.

Step 1. According to Figure 1, for a low-side measurement, connect the electronic load positive input

terminal to the positive terminal of a ≥20-A capable hot-supply. For a high-side

measurement, connect the electronic load positive input terminal to the load sourcing terminal

(IS+ or IS–) of the EVM. For high-side measurement of forward current, IS– sources to the

electronic load; for reverse current, IS+ sources to the load. Reverse current can only be

measured if VREF is set to a potential higher than GND.

Step 2. Connect the electronic load negative output terminal to the external hot supply GND terminal

for high-side measurements, or to the load sinking terminal of the EVM for low-side

measurements.

Step 3. For high-side measurements, connect the external supply to the load sinking terminal of the

EVM. Otherwise, for low-side measurements, connect the load sourcing terminal of the EVM

(IS+ or IS–) to the external supply GND.

Step 4. Turn on all the connected supplies.

Step 5. Apply load with electronic load.

Step 6. Measure the output voltage at the VOUT test point.

NOTE: The output voltage is equal to the gain of the device multiplied by the load current passing

through the leadframe of the DUT.

4.2 Advanced Measurement Tips

To assess whether the expected load matches the measured load, use a precision shunt resistor rated for

the maximum intended current in series with the DUT. The precision shunt should have a kelvin

connection where the generated sense voltage can be measured by a precision multimeter, such as the

3458a multimeter. Sensing the shunt voltage is preferred as a typical multimeter may have a current limit

far below 20 A. Additionally, some meters have better voltage measurement precision than current

measurement precision.

For evaluating performance when the DUT is subjected to quick current pulses, use short, large-gauge

wire or short bus bars to reduce the inductance and resistance between the hot-supply, load, and EVM.

By minimizing the inductance, the rate of load slew can be increased. If assessing the performance over

large transient current spikes (>20 A) is desired, be sure to use a supply with sufficient voltage headroom

to accommodate the series resistance of the wires/bus bars, board planes, and DUT lead frame

resistance. A large capacitor bank between the supply terminals should be used to ensure there is an

adequate charge reservoir available to prevent the supply from drooping and help supply the large current

inrush through the device.

If assessing temperature performance is desired, use wide, thin bus bars to reduce the thermal sinking

ability of the system and minimize the inductance of the system. While the board provides an onboard

temperature sensor, board temperature may not be an exact indicator of DUT temperature. More precise

measurements can be obtained by placing a layer of thermally conductive grease on top of the DUT

package and placing a thermal sensor directly on the thermal grease.
