TS1110 Electronic Circuit Breaker and TS1107

TS1110 Electronic Circuit Breaker and
TS1107 Current Limiter User's Guide
The TS1110 combines a very low power bidirectional current-sense amplifier (CSA) with
a circuit breaker feature. The circuit breaker feature is supplied within the TS1110 as an
FET control that drives the gate drive of an external P-channel MOSFET, disconnecting
the load from the power supply. The TS1110 provides a comparator that can be used for
current limit detection with a latch-capable output. A digital SIGN output that indicates
the direction of current flow depending on the external connections to the RS+ and RS–
input terminals is also provided. The TS1110 requires a very low 0.68 μA CSA and 1.16
μA VDD supply current while combining a 150 μV(MAX) input offset voltage with a 0.6%
gain error (MAX) for high-precision current measurements. The TS1110 provides a buffered CSA output, which can be connected with an RC Filter to reduce noise.
The TS1107 Current Limiter is a subset of the TS1110 Electronic Circuit Breaker and
provides the same functionality minus the load disconnect feature. The TS1107 combines the very low power bidirectional current-sense amplifier (CSA) with a latch-capable
current limiter comparator featuring an adjustable current threshold. The TS1107’s CSA
buffered output plus the current limiter comparator require a very low nominal supply current of 1.15 μA.

TS1110-EVB Description
1. TS1110-EVB Description
The TS1110 Evaluation Board is intended for evaluating the circuit breaker feature of the TS1110. The evaluation board includes a
variable reference scheme so that the threshold for the current limit comparator can be adjusted. The jumper, JP1, can be connected
so that the included potentiometer can be used to adjust the threshold. A P-channel MOSFET is included, enabling the circuit breaker
feature. When CLATCH is tied HIGH, the current limit comparator’s output, COUT, indicates when the load has exceeded the current
limit threshold and has thus been disconnected from the power supply. The Quick Start Procedure details two different load connections. The first load connection corresponds to a load under the current limiter’s threshold, while the second load connection results in
the current limiter’s output enabling the circuit breaker.

TS1110-EVB Quick Start Procedure
2. TS1110-EVB Quick Start Procedure
Required Equipment
• 3 V Power Supply or 3 V Battery
• 2 Digital Multimeters
• 1 Potentiometer
To use the TS1110 evaluation board, perform the following steps:
1. Configure JP3 so that the Jumper Shunt is connecting VDD to VREF. Configure JP1 so that the Jumper Shunt is connecting CIN+
to the bottom header.
2. Connect a Jumper Shunt so that EXT_REF is connected to VDD.
3. Connect CLATCH to GND.
4. Connect the 3 V power source to RS+ and VDD.
5. Use a voltmeter to measure the VBIAS and the CIN+ voltage. VBIAS should be 50% of VDD, 1.5 V. CIN+ should be 40% of VDD, 1.2
V. The P1 potentiometer can be adjusted so that the CIN+ voltage can be increased or decreased.
6. Once CIN+ and VBIAS voltages are confirmed, connect CLATCH to VDD.
7. Connect a voltmeter to measure VOUT. With no load connected VOUT should be equal to VBIAS. The expression for the VOUT output
voltage is defined by:
V OUT = V BIAS − (GAIN × I SENSE × RSENSE )
8. Connect a voltmeter to measure COUT. COUT should be LOW.
9. Connect an ammeter in series from LOAD to a potentiometer. Adjust the POT until the ammeter reads:
• TS1110-20: 200 mA
• TS1110-200: 20 mA
VOUT should equal 1.3 V and COUT should be LOW.
10. To enable the circuit breaker, adjust the LOAD POT until the ammeter reads a value greater than:
• TS1110-20: 300 mA
• TS1110-200: 30 mA
Once COUT transitions to HIGH, VOUT should read 1.5V and the ammeter measurement should read 0mA signaling that the Pchannel FET has disconnected the load from the power supply.

connected so that the included potentiometer can be used to adjust the threshold. When CLATCH is tied HIGH, the current limit comparator’s output, COUT, indicates when the load has exceeded the current limit threshold and latches HIGH until the fault condition has
been removed and the comparator has been reset. The Quick Start Procedure details two different load connections. The first load
connection corresponds to a load under the current limiter’s threshold, while the second load connection results in fault condition resulting in COUT latching HIGH.
