ZXCT1051
Precision wide input range current monitor
Description
The ZXCT1051 is a wide input range current
monitor, which operates over a range of input
voltages from ground up to V
-2V. As a result
CC
the ZXCT1051 can be used on the high or low
side of the load.
The very low offset voltage enables a typical
accuracy of 1% for sense voltages of only
30mV, giving better tolerances for small sense
resistors necessary at higher currents.
Features
• Accurate down to end current sensing
• Output voltage scaling x10
•0 to V
-2V sense input range
CC
• 2.7 to 20V supply range
• 50 µA quiescent current
• 1% typical accuracy
• SOT23-5 package
Pin connections
The ZXCT1051 provides a fixed gain of 10
thereby removing the need for an additional
resistor.
Applications
• Power supply
• DC motor and solenoid control
• Battery management
• Over current monitor
• Power management
• Short circuit detection
