LT6106 36V Low Cost High Side Current Sense in a SOT-23 FEATURESDESCRIPTION n Gain Configurable with Two Resistors The LT®6106 is a versatile high side current sense ampli- n Low Offset Voltage: 250µV Maximum fier. Design flexibility is provided by the excellent device n Output Current: 1mA Maximum characteristics: 250µV maximum offset and 40nA maxi- n Supply Range: 2.7V to 36V, 44V Absolute Maximum mum input bias current. Gain for each device is set by two n Low Input Bias Current: 40nA Maximum resistors and allows for accuracy better than 1%. n PSRR: 106dB Minimum The LT6106 monitors current via the voltage across an n Low Supply Current: 65µA Typical, V+ = 12V external sense resistor (shunt resistor). Internal circuitry n Operating Temperature Range: –40°C to 125°C converts input voltage to output current, allowing for a n Low Profile (1mm) ThinSOT™ Package small sense signal on a high common mode voltage to APPLICATIONS be translated into a ground referenced signal. The low DC offset allows for monitoring very small sense voltages. As a result, a small valued shunt resistor can be used, which n Current Shunt Measurement minimizes the power loss in the shunt. n Battery Monitoring n Power Management The wide 2.7V to 44V input voltage range, high accuracy n Motor Control and wide operating temperature range make the LT6106 n Lamp Monitoring ideal for automotive, industrial and power management n Overcurrent and Fault Detection applications. The very low power supply current of the LT6106 also makes it suitable for low power and battery operated applications.
