Troubleshooting Voltage Sensing Issues in Buck-Boost Chip Simulations
I performed a simulation on a buck-boost chip (LT8390). I understand that the sensing resistor placed between LSP and LSN is supposed to sense the differential voltage. This voltage is then amplified ...

Sensing Resistor in Buck-Boost controllers
In the LT8390, there are two sensing resistors. The one connected to LSN/LSP is called RSENSE(Buck), and the one connected to ISP/ISN is called RSENSE(BOOST). To illustrate this more clearly, I've ...
