DESCRIPTION
Precision, Extended Input
Range Current Sense Amplifi er
The LT
®
6105 is a micropower, precision current sense
amplifi er with a very wide input common mode range.
The LT6105 monitors unidirectional current via the volt-
age across an external sense resistor. The input common
mode range extends from –0.3V to 44V, with respect to
the negative supply voltage (V
–
). This allows the LT6105
to operate as a high side current sense monitor or a low
side current sense monitor. It also allows the LT6105 to
monitor current on a negative supply voltage, as well as
continuously monitor a battery from full charge to depletion.
The inputs of LT6105 can withstand differential voltages
up to ±44V, which makes it ideal for monitoring a fuse or
MOSFET switch.
Gain is confi gured with external resistors from 1V/V to
100V/V. The input common mode rejection and power
supply rejection are in excess of 100dB and the input offset
voltage is less than 300μV. A typical slew rate of 2V/μs
ensures fast response to unexpected current changes.
The LT6105 can operate from an independent power
supply of 2.85V to 36V and draws only 150μA. When
V
+
is powered down, the sense pins are biased off. This
prevents loading of the monitored circuit, irrespective of
the sense voltage. The LT6105 is available in a 6-lead DFN
and 8-lead MSOP package.
