Design flexibility is provided by the excellent device characteristics; 300V Max offset and only 375A (typical at 60V) of current consumption. The LTC6101 operates on supplies from 4V to 60V and LTC6101HV operates on supplies from 5V to 100V. The LTC6101 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. Low DC offset allows the use of a small shunt resistor and large gain-setting resistors. As a result, power loss in the shunt is reduced. The wide operating supply range and high accuracy make the LTC6101 ideal for a large array of applications from automotive to industrial and power management. A maximum input sense voltage of 500mV allows a wide range of currents to be monitored. The fast response makes the LTC6101 the perfect choice for load current warnings and shutoff protection control. With very low supply current, the LTC6101 is suitable for power sensitive applications.

Supply current is drawn through this pin. The circuit may be configured so that the LTC6101 supply current is or is not monitored along with the system load current. To monitor only system load current, connect V+ to the more positive side of the sense resistor. To monitor the total current, including the LTC6101 current, connect V+ to the more negative side of the sense resistor. OUT: Current Output. OUT will source a current that is proportional to the sense voltage into an external resistor. V - : Negative Supply (or Ground for Single-Supply Operation). -IN: The internal sense amplifier will drive IN- to the same potential as IN+. A resistor (RIN) tied from V+ to IN- sets the output current IOUT = VSENSE/RIN. VSENSE is the voltage developed across the external RSENSE (Figure 1). +IN: Must be tied to the system load end of the sense resistor, either directly or through a resistor.

LTC6101/LTC6101HV Block Diagram and Typical Connection APPLICATIONS INFORMATION The LTC6101 high side current sense amplifier (Figure 1) provides accurate monitoring of current through a userselected sense resistor. The sense voltage is amplified by a user-selected gain and level shifted from the positive power supply to a ground-referred output. The output signal is analog and may be used as is or processed with an output filter. Theory of Operation An internal sense amplifier loop forces IN- to have the same potential as IN+. Connecting an external resis- tor, RIN, between IN- and V+ forces a potential across RIN that is the same as the sense voltage across RSENSE. A corresponding current, VSENSE/RIN, will flow through RIN. The high impedance inputs of the sense amplifier will not conduct this input current, so it will flow through an internal MOSFET to the output pin. The output current can be transformed into a voltage by adding a resistor from OUT to V -. The output voltage is then VO = V- + IOUT * ROUT. 6101fh 9 LTC6101/LTC6101HV APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Useful Gain Configurations Gain RIN ROUT VSENSE at VOUT = 5V IOUT at VOUT = 5V 20 499 10k 250mV 500A 50 200 10k 100mV 500A 100 100 10k 50mV 500A Selection of External Current Sense Resistor The external sense resistor, RSENSE, has a significant effect on the function of a current sensing system and must be chosen with care. First, the power dissipation in the resistor should be considered. The system load current will cause both heat and voltage loss in RSENSE. As a result, the sense resistor should be as small as possible while still providing the input dynamic range required by the measurement. Note that input dynamic range is the difference between the maximum input signal and the minimum accurately reproduced signal, and is limited primarily by input DC offset of the internal amplifier of the LTC6101. In addition, RSENSE must be small enough that VSENSE does not exceed the maximum input voltage specified by the LTC6101, even under peak load conditions. As an example, an application may require that the maximum sense voltage be 100mV. If this application is expected to draw 2A at peak load, RSENSE should be no more than 50m. Once the maximum RSENSE value is determined, the minimum sense resistor value will be set by the resolution or dynamic range required. The minimum signal that can be accurately represented by this sense amp is limited by the input offset. As an example, the LTC6101B has a typical input offset of 150V. If the minimum current is 20mA, a sense resistor of 7.5m will set VSENSE to 150V. This is the same value as the input offset. A larger sense resistor will reduce the error due to offset by increasing the sense voltage for a given load current. Choosing a 50m RSENSE will maximize the dynamic range and provide a system that has 100mV across the sense resistor at peak load (2A), while input offset causes an error equivalent to only 3mA of load current. Peak dissipation is 200mW. If a 5m sense resistor is employed, then the effective current error is 30mA, while the peak sense voltage is reduced to 10mV at 2A, dissipating only 20mW. The low offset and corresponding large dynamic range of the LTC6101 make it more flexible than other solutions in this respect. The 150V typical offset gives 60dB of dynamic range for a sense voltage that is limited to 150mV max, and over 70dB of dynamic range if the rated input maximum of 500mV is allowed. Sense Resistor Connection Kelvin connection of the IN- and IN+ inputs to the sense resistor should be used in all but the lowest power applications. Solder connections and PC board interconnections that carry high current can cause significant error in measurement due to their relatively large resistances. One 10mm x 10mm square trace of one-ounce copper is approximately 0.5m. A 1mV error can be caused by as little as 2A flowing through this small interconnect. This will cause a 1% error in a 100mV signal. A 10A load current in the same interconnect will cause a 5% error for the same 100mV signal. By isolating the sense traces from the high-current paths, this error can be reduced by orders of magnitude. A sense resistor with integrated Kelvin sense terminals will give the best results.

Kelvin Input Connection Preserves Accuracy Despite Large Load Current 6101fh 10 LTC6101/LTC6101HV APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Selection of External Input Resistor, RIN V+ The external input resistor, RIN, controls the transconductance of the current sense circuit. Since IOUT = VSENSE/RIN, transconductance gm = 1/RIN. For example, if RIN = 100, then IOUT = VSENSE /100 or IOUT = 1mA for VSENSE = 100mV. 6101 F03a LOAD RIN should be chosen to allow the required resolution while limiting the output current. At low supply voltage, IOUT may be as much as 1mA. By setting RIN such that the largest expected sense voltage gives IOUT = 1mA, then the maximum output dynamic range is available. Output dynamic range is limited by both the maximum allowed output current and the maximum allowed output voltage, as well as the minimum practical output signal. If less dynamic range is required, then RIN can be increased accordingly, reducing the max output current and power dissipation. If low sense currents must be resolved accurately in a system that has very wide dynamic range, a smaller RIN than the max current spec allows may be used if the max current is limited in another way, such as with a Schottky diode across RSENSE (Figure 3a). This will reduce the high current measurement accuracy by limiting the result, while increasing the low current measurement resolution. Figure 3a. Shunt Diode Limits Maximum Input Voltage to Allow Better Low Input Resolution Without Overranging This approach can be helpful in cases where occasional large burst currents may be ignored. It can also be used in a multirange configuration where a low current circuit is added to a high current circuit (Figure 3b). Note that a comparator (LTC1540) is used to select the range, and transistor M1 limits the voltage across RSENSE LO. Care should be taken when designing the board layout for RIN, especially for small RIN values. All trace and interconnect impedances will increase the effective RIN value, causing a gain error. In addition, internal device resistance will add approximately 0.2 to RIN.

Dual LTC6101s Allow High-Low Current Ranging 6101fh 11 LTC6101/LTC6101HV APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Selection of External Output Resistor, ROUT The output resistor, ROUT, determines how the output current is converted to voltage. VOUT is simply IOUT * ROUT. Output Error, EOUT, Due to the Amplifier DC Offset Voltage, VOS EOUT(VOS) = VOS * (ROUT/RIN) In choosing an output resistor, the max output voltage must first be considered. If the circuit that is driven by the output does not limit the output voltage, then ROUT must be chosen such that the max output voltage does not exceed the LTC6101 max output voltage rating. If the following circuit is a buffer or ADC with limited input range, then ROUT must be chosen so that IOUT(MAX) * ROUT is less than the allowed maximum input range of this circuit. The DC offset voltage of the amplifier adds directly to the value of the sense voltage, VSENSE. This is the dominant error of the system and it limits the available dynamic range. The paragraph "Selection of External Current Sense Resistor" provides details. In addition, the output impedance is determined by ROUT. If the circuit to be driven has high enough input impedance, then almost any useful output impedance will be acceptable. However, if the driven circuit has relatively low input impedance, or draws spikes of current, such as an ADC might do, then a lower ROUT value may be required in order to preserve the accuracy of the output. As an example, if the input impedance of the driven circuit is 100 times ROUT, then the accuracy of VOUT will be reduced by 1% since: *R R VOUT =IOUT * OUT IN(DRIVEN) ROUT +RIN(DRIVEN) The bias current IB(+) flows into the positive input of the internal op amp. IB(-) flows into the negative input. =IOUT * ROUT * 100 = 0.99 *IOUT * ROUT 101 Error Sources Output Error, EOUT, Due to the Bias Currents, IB(+) and IB(-) EOUT(IBIAS) = ROUT((IB(+) * (RSENSE/RIN) - IB(-)) Since IB(+) IB(-) = IBIAS, if RSENSE << RIN then, EOUT(IBIAS) -ROUT * IBIAS For instance if IBIAS is 100nA and ROUT is 1k, the output error is 0.1mV. Note that in applications where RSENSE RIN, IB(+) causes a voltage offset in RSENSE that cancels the error due to IB(-) and EOUT(IBIAS) 0. In applications where RSENSE < RIN, the bias current error can be similarly reduced if an external resistor RIN(+) = (RIN - RSENSE) is connected as shown in Figure 4 below. Under both conditions: EOUT(IBIAS) = ROUT * IOS; IOS = IB(+) - IB(-) The current sense system uses an amplifier and resistors to apply gain and level shift the result. The output is then dependent on the characteristics of the amplifier, such as gain and input offset, as well as resistor matching. Ideally, the circuit output is: VOUT = VSENSE * ROUT ;VSENSE =RSENSE *ISENSE RIN In this case, the only error is due to resistor mismatch, which provides an error in gain only. However, offset voltage, bias current and finite gain in the amplifier cause additional errors: V+ RIN- RSENSE RIN+ +IN -IN + - LOAD V- V+ LTC6101 OUT VOUT ROUT RIN+ = RIN- - RSENSE 6101 F04 Figure 4. Second Input R Minimizes Error Due to Input Bias Current 6101fh 12 LTC6101/LTC6101HV APPLICATIONS INFORMATION If the offset current, IOS, of the LTC6101 amplifier is 2nA, the 100 microvolt error above is reduced to 2 microvolts. Adding RIN+ as described will maximize the dynamic range of the circuit. For less sensitive designs, RIN+ is not necessary. Example: If an ISENSE range = (1A to 1mA) and (VOUT/ISENSE) = 3V/1A Then, from the Electrical Characteristics of the LTC6101, RSENSE VSENSE (max) / ISENSE (max) = 500mV/1A = 500m Gain = ROUT/RIN = VOUT (max) / VSENSE (max) = 3V/500mV = 6 The total power dissipated is the output dissipation plus the quiescent dissipation: PTOTAL = POUT + PQ At maximum supply and maximum output current, the total power dissipation can exceed 100mW. This will cause significant heating of the LTC6101 die. In order to prevent damage to the LTC6101, the maximum expected dissipation in each application should be calculated. This number can be multiplied by the JA value listed in the package section on page 2 to find the maximum expected die temperature. This must not be allowed to exceed 150C, or performance may be degraded. As an example, if an LTC6101 in the S5 package is to be run at 55V 5V supply with 1mA output current at 80C: If the maximum output current, IOUT, is limited to 1mA, ROUT equals 3V/1mA 3.01 k (1% value) and RIN = 3k/6 499 (1% value). PQ(MAX) = IDD(MAX) * V+(MAX) = 41.4mW The output error due to DC offset is 900Volts (typ) and the error due to offset current, IOS is 3k x 2nA = 6Volts (typical), provided RIN+ = RIN-. TRISE = JA * PTOTAL(MAX) The maximum output error can therefore reach 906Volts or 0.03% (-70dB) of the output full scale. Considering the system input 60dB dynamic range (ISENSE = 1mA to 1A), the 70dB performance of the LTC6101 makes this application feasible. POUT(MAX) = IOUT * V+(MAX) = 60mW TMAX = TAMBIENT + TRISE TMAX must be < 150C PTOTAL(MAX) 96mW and the max die temp will be 104C Output Current Limitations Due to Power Dissipation If this same circuit must run at 125C, the max die temp will increase to 150C. (Note that supply current, and therefore PQ, is proportional to temperature. Refer to Typical Performance Characteristics section.) In this condition, the maximum output current should be reduced to avoid device damage. Note that the MSOP package has a larger JA than the S5, so additional care must be taken when operating the LTC6101A/LTC6101HVA at high temperatures and high output currents. The LTC6101 can deliver up to 1mA continuous current to the output pin. This current flows through RIN and enters the current sense amp via the IN(-) pin. The power dissipated in the LTC6101 due to the output signal is: The LTC6101HV can be used at voltages up to 105V. This additional voltage requires that more power be dissipated for a given level of current. This will further limit the allowed output current at high ambient temperatures. Output Error, EOUT, Due to the Finite DC Open Loop Gain, AOL, of the LTC6101 Amplifier This error is inconsequential as the AOL of the LTC6101 is very large. POUT = (V-IN - VOUT) * IOUT Since V-IN V+, POUT (V+ - VOUT) * IOUT There is also power dissipated due to the quiescent supply current: PQ = IDD * V+ It is important to note that the LTC6101 has been designed to provide at least 1mA to the output when required, and can deliver more depending on the conditions. Care must be taken to limit the maximum output current by proper choice of sense resistor and, if input fault conditions exist, external clamps. 6101fh 13 LTC6101/LTC6101HV APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Output Filtering Input Common Mode Range The output voltage, VOUT, is simply IOUT * ZOUT. This makes filtering straightforward. Any circuit may be used which generates the required ZOUT to get the desired filter response. For example, a capacitor in parallel with ROUT will give a low pass response. This will reduce unwanted noise from the output, and may also be useful as a charge reservoir to keep the output steady while driving a switching circuit such as a mux or ADC. This output capacitor in parallel with an output resistor will create a pole in the output response at: The inputs of the LTC6101 can function from 1.5V below the positive supply to 0.5V above it. Not only does this allow a wide VSENSE range, it also allows the input reference to be separate from the positive supply (Figure 5). Note that the difference between VBATT and V+ must be no more than the common mode range listed in the Electrical Characteristics table. If the maximum VSENSE is less than 500mV, the LTC6101 may monitor its own supply current, as well as that of the load (Figure 6). f - 3dB = VBATTERY 1 2 * * ROUT * COUT RIN RSENSE +IN + Useful Equations V+ LOAD V- Input Voltage: VSENSE = ISENSE * R SENSE VOUT R Voltage Gain: = OUT VSENSE RIN Current Gain: -IN - IOUT ISENSE Transconductance: Transimpedance: = V+ OUT LTC6101 R SENSE RIN IOUT VSENSE = VOUT ROUT 6101 F05 1 Figure 5.

LTC6101 Supply Current Monitored with Load 6101fh 14 LTC6101/LTC6101HV APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Reverse Supply Protection Some applications may be tested with reverse-polarity supplies due to an expectation of this type of fault during operation. The LTC6101 is not protected internally from external reversal of supply polarity. To prevent damage that may occur during this condition, a Schottky diode should be added in series with V- (Figure 7). This will limit the reverse current through the LTC6101. Note that this diode will limit the low voltage performance of the LTC6101 by effectively reducing the supply voltage to the part by VD. In addition, if the output of the LTC6101 is wired to a device that will effectively short it to high voltage (such as through an ESD protection clamp) during a reverse supply condition, the LTC6101's output should be connected through a resistor or Schottky diode (Figure 8). Response Time The LTC6101 is designed to exhibit fast response to inputs for the purpose of circuit protection or signal transmission. This response time will be affected by the external circuit in two ways, delay and speed. If the output current is very low and an input transient occurs, there may be an increased delay before the output voltage begins changing. This can be improved by increasing the minimum output current, either by increasing RSENSE or decreasing RIN. The effect of increased output current is illustrated in the step response curves in the Typical Performance Characteristics section of this data sheet. Note that the curves are labeled with respect to the initial output currents. The speed is also affected by the external circuit. In this case, if the input changes very quickly, the internal amplifier will slew the gate of the internal output FET (Figure 1) in order to maintain the internal loop. This results in current flowing through RIN and the internal FET. This current slew rate will be determined by the amplifier and FET characteristics as well as the input resistor, RIN. Using a smaller RIN will allow the output current to increase more quickly, decreasing the response time at the output. This will also have the effect of increasing the maximum output current. Using a larger ROUT will decrease the response time, since VOUT = IOUT * ROUT. Reducing RIN and increasing ROUT will both have the effect of increasing the voltage gain of the circuit.
