CSR Typical Application - Adapter
In the adapter, CSR can be used to monitor the output current to ensure that it does not exceed the maximum current carrying capacity of the device, thereby protecting the device from overcurrent damage. In addition, CSR can also be used to achieve multi-phase load balancing by monitoring the current on each line and making real-time responses to ensure stable power output.
When designing adapters, engineers will choose the appropriate current sensing resistor based on the required current monitoring accuracy and specific requirements of the circuit. These resistors typically have lower resistance values to reduce power loss while providing sufficient voltage drop for easy detection. High precision current sensing resistors can ensure the accuracy of current monitoring, while low TCR helps maintain this accuracy at different temperatures

How does CSR achieve foreign object detection in wireless chargers?
Resonant cavity Q value detection: When the wireless charger is working, the Q value of its resonant cavity will decrease due to the presence of metal foreign objects. By measuring the Q value and comparing it with a preset threshold, it can be determined whether there is a foreign object present. If the Q value is below the threshold, it indicates the presence of metallic foreign objects, and the charger will stop charging to prevent overheating and potential damage. Resonance frequency detection: The presence of foreign objects can also affect the resonance frequency. By measuring the resonant frequency and comparing it with a preset threshold, it is also possible to determine whether there is a foreign object. If the frequency offset exceeds the threshold, it indicates the presence of foreign objects. Power loss detection: During power transmission, if the power loss detected by the system exceeds the preset threshold, it may indicate that some energy has been absorbed by metal foreign objects. By monitoring power loss, the charger can stop charging when foreign objects are detected.
What factors should be considered when selecting a current sensing resistor?
Including resistance, accuracy, temperature coefficient (TCR), power processing capability, and size. For example, the current sensing resistors provided by Delta have the characteristics of small size, high precision, and low temperature coefficient. The resistance range is from 0.2M Ω to 10 Ω, and the rated power also varies
Generic Application
- CSR is used to improve energy efficiency and power management across all types of adapters. By precise current monitoring and optimizing the thermal design of the adapter, the product life can be extended. Support the miniaturization design of adapters while maintaining high performance and reliability.
What are the considerations for CSR in design?
Factors to consider during design include resistance value, power rating, temperature coefficient, packaging size, and cost. Low resistance values can reduce power loss, but may require more precise amplifiers. In addition, resistors with low temperature coefficients can provide more stable measurements, but the cost may be higher.
What are the possible problems that CSR may encounter in practical applications?
Possible problems encountered in practical applications include the influence of parasitic resistance, errors caused by PCB layout, and changes in resistance values due to environmental temperature fluctuations. To reduce these effects, Kelvin connections (four terminal connections) can be used to minimize the impact of parasitic resistance, and the performance of the signal chain can be optimized through carefully designed PCB layouts.
