TYPICAL APPLICATION
FEATURES DESCRIPTION
High Side Current Sense
Amplifier with Reference
and Comparators
The LT
®
6109 is a complete high side current sense device
that incorporates a precision current sense amplifier, an
integrated voltage reference and two comparators. Two
versions of the LT6109 are available. The LT6109-1 has
the comparators connected in opposing polarity and the
LT6109-2 has the comparators connected in the same polar-
ity. In addition, the current sense amplifier and comparator
inputs and outputs are directly accessible. The amplifier
gain and comparator trip points are configured by external
resistors. The open-drain comparator outputs allows for
easy interface to other system components.
The overall propagation delay of the LT6109 is typically
only 1.4µs, allowing for quick reaction to overcurrent
and undercurrent conditions. The 1MHz bandwidth al-
lows the LT6109 to be used for error detection in critical
applications such as motor control. The high threshold
accuracy of the comparators, combined with the ability to
latch both comparators, ensures the LT6109 can capture
high speed events.
The LT6109 is fully specified for operation from –40°C to
125°C, making it suitable for industrial and automotive ap-
plications. The LT6109 is available in a small 10-lead MSOP.
