إلى أي حد نعرف هذا الرقم

مدى دقتها
Exact arithmetic on Ohm's law, I²R and the TCR definition, with your datasheet maxima.

The four error terms add as a root sum of squares, a statistical estimate; their straight sum, the worst case, is a detail value. The amplifier offset sets most of the error at the low end of the range.

Circuit

المبدأ

A current-sense resistor, the shunt, turns the current into a small voltage, I·R, and an amplifier of gain G scales it for the ADC. The shunt must be small enough to stay cool and drop little, and large enough that the amplifier's offset stays small beside I·R at the lowest current you read. This page sizes R or G, checks the shunt's heat and the output headroom, and gives the error at both ends of the range.

Shunt
R=VdropImaxR = \frac{V_{drop}}{I_{max}}
Ohm's law at the largest current. On the low side the drop also lifts the load's ground by as much.
Heat
P=Imax2RΔT=P RθP = I_{max}^{2} R \qquad \Delta T = P\, R_{\theta}
Rθ is the shunt's thermal resistance as mounted, from its datasheet. P is judged against Prated·d, the rating times the share your derating allows at TA.
Headroom
Vout=G I RG ImaxR≤VFS (1−h)V_{out} = G\, I\, R \qquad G\, I_{max} R \leq V_{FS}\,(1 - h)
The G mode solves this for the largest gain. The headroom left at Imax is (VFS − G·Imax·R)/VFS.
Resolution
ILSB=VFS2N G RI_{LSB} = \frac{V_{FS}}{2^{N}\, G\, R}
The current one ADC code stands for. The codes at Imin are Imin/ILSB.
Error at current I
ε(I)=(VosIR)2+tR2+εG2+(α ∣TA+ΔT(I)−T0∣)2\varepsilon(I) = \sqrt{\left(\frac{V_{os}}{I R}\right)^{2} + t_R^{2} + \varepsilon_G^{2} + \left(\alpha\, \left|T_A + \Delta T(I) - T_0\right|\right)^{2}}
The four terms add as a root sum of squares. T0 = 25 °C, where the shunt tolerance is given, and ΔT(I) = I²·R·Rθ. The lowest current within budget is where ε(I) meets it, found by bisection.

Choosing R

A larger R gives more signal over the amplifier's offset, so the low end reads better. It also burns more power and drops more of the supply. Choose the drop first, then check the heat and the error at Imin here.

Where the error comes from

At the low end the offset sets the error: Vos is fixed, while I·R falls with I. At the top the shunt tolerance, the gain error and the TCR set it. The TCR term counts from 25 °C, where the tolerance is given, to the shunt's own temperature, TA + ΔT. The page adds the four terms as a root sum of squares, a statistical estimate, and shows their straight sum, the worst case, beside them.

Layout

Take the sense lines from the shunt's own pads (a Kelvin connection). The copper that carries the current has resistance of its own, and it changes with temperature far more than a shunt does. On the low side the shunt lifts the load's ground; on the high side the amplifier must accept the bus voltage at its inputs.

The page does not compute the amplifier's drift, so enter Vos and the gain error at their datasheet maxima over your temperature range, and Rθ as the shunt is mounted.

Not modelled: CMRR, the amplifier's bandwidth and the ADC's own errors. A reading at or below the amplifier's output floor is marked Unverified.
