TLI4971
high precision coreless current sensor for industrial
applications in 8x8mm SMD package
Description
TLI4971 is a high precision miniature coreless
magnetic current sensor for AC and DC
measurements with analog interface and two fast
over-current detection outputs.
Infineon's well-established and robust monolithic
Hall technology enables accurate and highly linear
measurement of currents with a full scale up to
±120A. All negative effects (saturation, hysteresis)
commonly known from open loop sensors using
flux concentration techniques are avoided. The
sensor is equipped with internal self-diagnostic
feature.
Typical applications are electrical drives and
general purpose inverters.
The differential measurement principle allows
great stray field suppression for operation in harsh
environments.
Two separate interface pins (OCD) provide a fast
output signal in case a current exceeds a pre-set
threshold.
The sensor is shipped as a fully calibrated product
without requiring any customer end-of-line
calibration.
All user-programmable parameters such as OCD
thresholds, blanking times and output configuration
modes are stored in an embedded EEPROM
memory.

Target Applications
The TLI4971 is suitable for AC as well as DC current measurement applications:
Electrical drives
General purpose inverters
PV inverters
Chargers
Current monitoring
Overload and over-current detection
Due to its implemented magnetic interference suppression, it is extremely robust when exposed to external
magnetic fields. The device is suitable for fast over-current detection with a configurable threshold level.
This allows the control unit to switch off and protect the affected system from damage, independently from
the main measurement path.

General Description
The current flowing through the current rail on the primary side induces a magnetic field that is differentially
measured by two Hall probes. The differential measurement principle of the magnetic field combined with
the current rail design provides superior suppression of any ambient magnetic stray fields. A high
performance amplifier combines the signal resulting from the differential field and the internal compensation
information provided by the temperature and stress compensation unit. Finally the amplifier output signal is
fed into a differential output amplifier which is able to drive the analog output of the sensor.
Depending on the selected programming option, the analog output signal can be provided either as:
Single-ended
Fully-differential
Semi-differential
In single-ended mode, the pin VREF is used as a reference voltage input. The analog output signal is provided
on pin AOUT. In fully-differential mode, both AOUT (positive polarity) and VREF (negative polarity) are used
as signal outputs whereas VDD is used as reference voltage input. Compared to the single-ended mode, the
fully-differential mode enables doubling of the output voltage swing.
In semi-differential mode a chip-internal reference voltage is used and provided on VREF (output). The
current sensing information is provided in a single-ended way on AOUT.
For fast over-current detection, the raw analog signal provided by the Hall probes is fed into comparators
with programmable switching thresholds.
A user-programmable deglitch filter is implemented to enable the suppression of fast switching transients.
The open-drain outputs of the OCD pins are active “low” and they can be directly combined into a wired-AND
configuration on board level to have a general over-current detection signal.
All user-programmable parameters such as OCD thresholds, deglitching filter settings and output
configuration mode are stored in an embedded EEPROM memory.
Programming of the memory can be performed in the application through a Serial Inspection and
Configuration Interface (SICI). The interface is described in detail in the programming guide which can be
found on the Infineon website. Please contact your local Infineon sales office for further documentation.
Standard Product Configuration
The pre-configured full scale range is either set to ±120A, ±75A, ±50A or ±25A depending on the choosen
product variant.
The pre-configured output mode is set to semi-differential mode.
The quiescent voltage is set to 1.65V.
The OCD threshold of channel 1 is set to the factor 1.25 of the full scale range.
The OCD threshold of channel 2 is set to the factor 0.82 of the full scale range.
The pre-defined setting of the OCD deglitching filter time is set to 0µs.
The sensor is pre-configured to work in the non-ratiometric mode.
The sensitivity and the derived measurement range (full scale) can be reprogrammed by user according
to the sensitivity ranges listed in Table 4.
The sensor can be reprogrammed into single-ended operating mode or fully-differential mode by user
without any recalibration of the device.
The OCD thresholds and filter settings can be reprogrammed by the user according to the values listed in
Table 6 and Table 7.
For semi-differential uni-directional mode or ratiometric output sensitivity, please contact your local
Infineon sales office.
