The N-channel MOSFET selection for use with the LM5068 controller in this example must be capable of
sustaining V
DD
=100V and I
(MAX)
=3A for 7.5ms in the worst case fault condition. A device that meets the
established criteria is the Vishay - 5UB85N10-10.
External Sense Resistor
Precise current measurement depends on the accuracy of the sense resistor (R
S
). For the optimal results, Kelvin
connection and close location of R
S
to the LM5068 should be considered. Figure 26 demonstrates PCB layout for
the Kelvin sensing.
The R
S
power rating should be greater than I
