LTC6104 High Voltage, High Side, Bi-Directional Current Sense Amplifi er FEATURESDESCRIPTION ■ Wide Supply Range: 4V to 60V with 70V Absolute The LTC®6104 is a versatile, high voltage, high side, bi- Maximum directional current sense amplifi er. Design fl exibility is ■ Low Offset Voltage: ±450µV Maximum provided by the excellent device characteristics: ±450µV ■ Fast Response: 1µs Response Time maximum offset and only 520µA of current consumption ■ Gain Confi gurable with External Resistors; Each (typical at 12V). The LTC6104 operates on supplies from Direction is Gain Confi gurable 4V to 60V. ■ Low Input Bias Current: 170nA Maximum The LTC6104 monitors bi-directional current via the voltage ■ PSRR: 110dB Minimum across an external sense resistor (shunt resistor). This ■ Output Current: ±1mA Maximum sense voltage is then translated into a ground referenced ■ Low Supply Current: 520µA, VS = 12V signal. Gain is set with three external resistors and can ■ Specifi ed for –40°C to 125°C Temperature Range be separately confi gured for both directions. Low DC ■ Available in an 8-Lead MSOP Package offset allows the use of a small shunt resistor and large APPLICATIONS gain-setting resistors. As a result, power loss in the shunt is minimal. ■ Current Shunt Measurement The wide operating supply range and high accuracy make ■ Battery Monitoring the LTC6104 ideal for a wide variety of automotive, industrial ■ Remote Sensing and power management applications. A maximum input ■ Power Management sense voltage of 500mV allows a wide range of currents , LT, LTC and LTM are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation. to be monitored. The fast response makes the LTC6104 All other trademarks are the property of their respective owners. the perfect choice for load current warnings and shutoff protection control. With very low supply current, the LTC6104 is suitable for power sensitive applications. The LTC6104 is available in an 8-lead MSOP package.
