ZXCT1030
HIGH-SIDE CURRENT MONITOR WITH COMPARATOR
Description
The ZXCT1030 is a high side current sense monitor
containing an internal reference and comparator with a nonlatching output. Using this device eliminates the need to
disrupt the ground plane when sensing a load current.
The wide input voltage range of 20V do wn to as low as 2.2V
make it suitable for a range of applications. Dynamics and
supply current are optimized for the processing of fast pulses,
associated with switch mode applications
.
Features
• Low cost, accurate high-side current sensing
• Output voltage scaling
• Up to 18V output
• 2.2V - 20V supply range
• Voltage reference on chip
• Comparator on chip
• SO8 package
