DESCRIPTION
36V Low Cost High Side
Current Sense in a SOT-23
The LT
®
6106 is a versatile high side current sense ampli-
fier. Design flexibility is provided by the excellent device
characteristics: 250µV maximum offset and 40nA maxi
-
mum input bias current. Gain for each device is set by two
resistors and allows for accuracy better than 1%.
The LT6106 monitors current via the voltage across an
external sense resistor (shunt resistor). Internal circuitry
converts input voltage to output current, allowing for a
small sense signal on a high common mode voltage to
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
minimizes the power loss in the shunt.
The wide 2.7V to 44V input voltage range, high accuracy
and wide operating temperature range make the LT6106
ideal for automotive, industrial and power management
applications. The very low power supply current of the
LT6106 also makes it suitable for low power and battery
operated applications.

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 LT6106 must be limited to insure that the power
dissipation in the LT6106 does not allow the die temperature to exceed
150°C. See the applications information section “Power Dissipation
Considerations” for further information.
Note 2: Guaranteed by the gain error test.
Note 3: Gain error refers to the contribution of the LT6106 internal
circuitry and does not include errors in the external gain setting resistors.
Note 4: The LT6106C is guaranteed functional over the operating
temperature range of –40°C to 85°C. The LT6106C is designed,

Note 7: V
SENSE (MAX)
is the maximum sense voltage for which the Electrical
