DescripTion
The LT C®6102/LTC6102HV are versatile, high voltage, high-
side current sense amplifiers. Their high supply voltage
rating allows their use in many high side applications,
while the low drift and offset ensure accuracy across a
wide range of operating conditions. The LTC6102-1 is a
version of the LTC6102 that includes a low power disable
mode to conserve system standby power.
The LTC6102/LTC6102HV monitor current via the voltage
across an external sense resistor (shunt resistor). Internal
circuitry converts input voltage to output current, allowing
a small sense signal on a large common mode voltage to
be translated to a ground-referred signal. Low DC offset
allows the use of very low shunt resistor values and large
gain-setting resistors. As a result, power loss in the shunt
is reduced.
The wide operating supply and high accuracy make the
LTC6102 ideal for a large array of applications, from auto
motive, to industrial and power management. A maximum
input sense voltage of 2V allows a wide range of currents
and
voltages
to be monitored. Fast response makes the
LTC6102 the perfect choice for load current warnings and
shutoff protection control.
All versions of the LTC6102 are available in 8-lead MSOP
and 3mm × 3mm DFN packages.

Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime. In addition to the Absolute Maximum Ratings, the
output current of the LTC6102 must be limited to ensure that the power
dissipation in the LTC6102 does not allow the die temperature to exceed
150°C. See the Applications Information “Output Current Limitations Due
to Power Dissipation” for further information.
Note 2: The LTC6102C/LTC6102C-1/LTC6102HVC are guaranteed to meet
specified performance from 0°C to 70°C. The LTC6102C/LTC6102C-1/
LTC6102HVC are designed, characterized and expected to meet specified
performance from –40°C to 85°C but are not tested or QA sampled at
these temperatures. LTC6102I/LTC6102I-1/LTC6102HVI are guaranteed
to meet specified performance from –40°C to 85°C. The LTC6102H/

The LTC6102 high side current sense amplifier (Figure 1)
provides accurate monitoring of current through a userselected sense resistor. The sense voltage is amplified by
a user-selected gain and level shifted from the positive
power supply to a ground-referred output. The output
signal is analog and may be used as is or processed with
an output filter.
Theory of Operation

same potential as +IN. Connecting an external resistor,

Selection of External Current Sense Resistor
The external sense resistor, R
, has a significant effect
SENSE
on the function of a current sensing system and must be
chosen with care.
First, the power dissipation in the resistor should be
considered. The system load current will cause both heat
dissipation and voltage loss in R
. As a result, the sense
SENSE
resistor should be as small as possible while still providing
the input dynamic range required by the measurement.
Note that input dynamic range is the difference between
the maximum input signal and the minimum accurately
reproduced signal, and is limited primarily by input DC
offset of the internal amplifier of the LTC6102. In addition,
R
SENSE
must be small enough that V
does not exceed
SENSE
the maximum sense voltage specified by the LTC6102 or
the sense resistor, even under peak load conditions. As
an example, an application may require that the maximum
sense voltage be 100mV. If this application is expected
to draw 20A at peak load, R
should be no more
SENSE
than 5mΩ.
Once the maximum R
value is determined, the
SENSE
minimum sense resistor value will be set by the resolution or dynamic range required. The minimum signal
can
that
be accurately represented by this sense amp is
limited by the input offset. As an example, the LTC6102
has a typical input offset of 3µV. If the minimum current
is 1mA, a sense resistor of 3mΩ will set V
SENSE
to 3µV.
This is the same value as the input offset. A larger sense
resistor will reduce the error due to offset by increasing
the sense voltage for a given load current.
For this example, choosing a 5mΩ R
will maximize
SENSE
the dynamic range and provide a system that has 100mV
across the sense resistor at peak load (20A), while input
offset causes an error equivalent to only 0.6mA of load
current.
Peak dissipation is 2W. If a 0.5mΩ sense resistor is em
ployed, then the effective current error is 6mA (0.03%
of full-scale), while the peak sense voltage is reduced to
10mV at 20A, dissipating only 200mW.
The low offset and corresponding large dynamic range of
the LTC6102 make it more flexible than other solutions
in this respect. The 3µV typical offset gives 100dB of dy
namic range for a sense voltage that is limited to 300mV
max, and over 116dB of dynamic range if a maximum of
2V is allowed.
The previous example assumes that a large output dynamic
range is required. For circuits that do not require large
dynamic range, the wide input range of the LTC6102 may
be used to reduce the size of the sense resistor, reducing
power loss and increasing reliability. For example, in a
100A circuit requiring 60dB of dynamic range, the input
offset and drift of most current-sense solutions will require
that the shunt be chosen so that the sense voltage is at
least 100mV at full scale so that the minimum input is
greater than 100µV. This will cause power dissipation in
excess of 10W at full scale! That much power loss can put

a significant load on the power supply and create thermal
design headaches. In addition, heating in the sense resistor
can reduce its accuracy and reliability.
In contrast, the large dynamic range of the LTC6102 allows
the use of a much smaller sense resistor. The LTC6102
allows the minimum sense voltage to be reduced to less
than 10µV. The peak sense voltage would then be 10mV,
dissipating only 1W at 100A in a 100µΩ sense resistor!
With a specialized sense resistor, the same system would
allow peak currents of more than 1000A without exceeding
the input range of the LTC6102 or damaging the shunt.

Sense Resistor Connection
Kelvin connection of +IN and –INS to the sense resistor
should be used in all but the lowest power applications.
Solder connections and PC board interconnections that
carry high current can cause significant error in measure
ment due to their relatively large resistances. One 10mm
× 10mm square trace of one-ounce copper is approximately 0.5mΩ. A 1mV error can be caused by as little
2A
flowing through this small interconnect. This will
as
cause a 1% error in a 100mV signal. A 10A load current
in the same interconnect will cause a 5% error for the
same 100mV signal. An additional error is caused by the
change in copper resistance over temperature, which is in
excess of 0.4%/°C. By isolating the sense traces from the
high-current paths, this error can be reduced by orders of
magnitude. A sense resistor with integrated Kelvin sense
terminals will give the best results. Figure 2 illustrates the
recommended method. Note that the LTC6102 has a Kelvin
input structure such that current flows into –INF. The –INS
and –INF pins should be tied as close as possible to R

large temperature drift of copper resistance will cause a
change in gain over temperature if proper care is not taken
to reduce this effect.
To further limit the effect of trace resistance on gain,
maximizing the accuracy of these circuits, the LTC6102 has
been designed with a Kelvin input. The inverting terminal
(–INS) is separate from the feedback path (–INF). During
operation, these two pins must be connected together.
The design of the LTC6102 is such that current into –INS
is input bias current only, which is typically 60pA at 25°C.
Almost all of the current from R
flows into –INF, through

the LTC6102, and into R
via the OUT pin. In order to

Clock Feedthrough, Input Bias Current
The LTC6102 uses auto-zeroing circuitry to achieve an
almost zero DC offset over temperature, sense voltage,
and power supply voltage. The frequency of the clock
used for auto-zeroing is typically 10kHz. The term clock
feedthrough is broadly used to indicate visibility of this
clock frequency in the op amp output spectrum. There are
typically two types of clock feedthrough in auto zeroed
amps like the LTC6102.
The first form of clock feedthrough is caused by the
settling of the internal sampling capacitor and is input
referred; that is, it is multiplied by the internal loop gain
6102fe

applicaTions inForMaTion
of the amp. This form of clock feedthrough is independent of the magnitude of the input source resistance or
the magnitude of the gain setting resistors. The LTC6102
input
has a residue clock feedthrough of less then 1
µV
RMS
referred at 10kHz.
The second form of clock feedthrough is caused by the
small amount of charge injection occurring during the
sampling and holding of the amp’s input offset voltage.
The current spikes are multiplied by the impedance seen
at the input terminals of the amp, appearing at the output
multiplied by the internal loop gain of the internal op amp.
To reduce this form of clock feedthrough, use smaller
valued gain setting resistors and minimize the source
resistance at the input.
Input bias current is defined as the DC current into the
input pins of the op amp. The same current spikes that
cause the second form of clock feedthrough described
above, when averaged, dominate the DC input bias current
of the op amp below 70°C.
As temperature increases, the leakage of the ESD protec
tion diodes on the inputs increases the input bias currents
of both inputs in the positive direction, while the current
caused by the charge injection stays relatively constant. At
temperatures above 70°C, the leakage current dominates
and both the negative and positive pins’ input bias currents
are in the positive direction (into the pins).

There is also power dissipated due to the quiescent supply current:

At maximum supply and maximum output current, the
total power dissipation can exceed 100mW. This will
cause significant heating of the LTC6102 die. In order to
prevent damage to the LTC6102, the maximum expected
dissipation in each application should be calculated. This
number can be multiplied by the θ
value listed in the
JA
package section on page 2 to find the maximum expected
die temperature. This must not be allowed to exceed 150°C
or performance may be degraded.

If this same circuit must run at 125°C, the max die temp

therefore P
, is proportional to temperature. Refer to
Q
Typical Performance Characteristics section.) Note that
the DD package has a smaller θ
than the MSOP pack-
JA
age, which will substantially reduce the die temperature
at similar power levels.
The LTC6102HV can be used at voltages up to 105V
. This
additional voltage requires that more power be dissipated
for a given level of current. This will further limit the allowed
output current at high ambient temperatures.
It is important to note that the LTC6102 has been designed
to provide at least 1mA to the output when required, and
can deliver more depending on the conditions. Care must
be taken to limit the maximum output current by proper
choice of sense and input resistors and, if input fault
conditions are likely, an external clamp.
The total power dissipated is the output current dissipation
plus the quiescent dissipation:

Input Sense Range
The inputs of the LTC6102 can function from V
Not only does this allow a wide V
the input reference to be separate from the positive supply
(Figure 6). Note that the difference between V
must be no more than the input sense voltage range listed
in the Electrical Characteristics table.
Monitoring Voltages Above V
The LTC6102 may be configured to monitor voltages that are
higher than its supply, provided that the negative terminal
of the input voltage is within the input sense range of the
LTC6102. Figure 7 illustrates a circuit in which the LTC6102
has its supply pin tied to the lower potential terminal of the
sense resistor instead of the higher potential terminal. The

Bandwidth
For applications that require higher bandwidth from the

eral-purpose op-amp, the gain-bandwidth product is used
to determine the speed at a given gain. Gain is determined
by external resistors, and the gain-bandwidth product is
an intrinsic property of the amplifier. The same is true
for the L
TC6102, except that the feedback resistance is
determined by an internal FET characteristic. The feedback
impedance is approximately 1/g
of the internal MOSFET.

This is illustrated in the characteristic curves, where gain

Bypassing
V
REG
The LTC6102 has an internally regulated supply near V+
for internal bias. It is not intended for use as a supply or
bias pin for external circuitry. A 0.1µF capacitor should be
connected between the V
and V+ pins. This capacitor
REG
should be located very near to the LTC6102 for the best
performance. In applications which have large supply tran
sients, a 6.8V zener diode may be used in parallel with this
bypass capacitor for additional transient suppression.
Enable Pin Operation
The LTC6102-1 includes an enable pin which can place
the part into a low power disable state. The enable pin is a
–
logic input pin referenced to V
logic levels regardless of the V
and accepts standard TTL
+
voltage. When the enable
pin is driven high, the part is active. When the enable pin is
floating or pulled low, then the part is disabled and draws
very little supply current. When driven high, the enable pin
draws a few microamps of input bias current.
If there is no external logic supply available, the enable
+
pin can be pulled to the V
supply through a large value
resistor. The voltage at the enable pin will be clamped
by the built-in ESD protection structure (which acts like
a zener diode). The resistor should be sized so that the
current through the resistor is a few milliamps or less to
prevent any reduction in long-term reliability. For practi
cal purposes, the current through the resistor should be
minimized to save power. The resistor value is limited
by the input bias current requirements of the enable

pin. Figure 11 shows the LTC6102-1 with a 2.7M pull-up
resistor to limit the current to less than 20µA with a 60V
supply, which is enough to satisfy the input bias current
requirement.
Start-Up Current
The start-up current of the LTC6102 when the part is
powered on or enabled (LTC6102-1) consists of three
parts: the first is the current necessary to charge the
bypass capacitor, which is nominally 0.1µF. Since the
V
REG
voltage charges to approximately 4.5V below the V+
V
REG
voltage, this can require a significant amount of start-up
current. The second source is the active supply current of
the LTC6102 amplifier, which is not significantly greater
during start-up than during normal operation. The third
source is the output current of the LTC6102, which upon
start-up may temporarily drive the output high. This could
cause milliamps of output current (limited mostly by the
input resistor R
) to flow into the output resistor and/or
IN
the output limiting ESD structure in the LTC6102. This is
a temporary condition which will cease when the LTC6102
amplifier settles into normal closed-loop operation.
When the LTC6102-1 is disabled, the internal amplifier is
also shut down, which means that the discharge rate of
the 0.1µF capacitor is very low. This is significant when the
LTC6102-1 is disabled to save power, because the recharg
ing of the 0.1µF capacitor is a significant portion of the
overall power consumed in startup. Figure 12 shows the
discharge rate of the 0.1
µF capacitor after the L
TC6102-1
is shut down at room temperature.
In a system where the LTC6102-1 is disabled for short
periods, the start-up power (and therefore the average
power) can be reduced since the V
bypass capacitor
REG
is never significantly discharged. The time required to
charge the V
capacitor will also be reduced, allowing
REG
the LTC6102-1 to start-up more quickly.
