High-Voltage, High-Side Current Monitors offer 40 and 60 V operation.
Press Release Summary:
Models ZXCT1083, ZXCT1085, and ZXCT1087 support voltage range of 2.7-40 V, while ZXCT1082, ZXCT1084, and ZXCT1086 units are rated for 2.7-60 V. Products detect current in high-side sense resistor and reference it to ground. Featuring independent supply and common-mode voltage inputs, ICs permit currents to be measured beyond limits of normal power supply rails. They operate over -40 to +125ºC temperature range, with quiescent current of 0.6 μA, and offer fixed and programmable gain.
Original Press Release:
Diodes Incorporated Announces High-Side Current Monitors that Simplify Measurement at High Voltage
Dallas, Texas - Diodes Incorporated (Nasdaq: DIOD), a leading global manufacturer and supplier of high-quality application specific standard products within the broad discrete and analog semiconductor markets, today announces a family of 6 high reliability current monitors for 40V and 60V operation. The ZXCT108X devices
detect current in a high-side sense resistor and reference it to ground, thereby reducing system circuit complexity and cost.
Their wide supply and common-mode voltage range suits a broad range of uses. For
industrial and computer power supply applications, the ZXCT1083, ZXCT1085, and
ZXCT1087 support a voltage range of 2.7V to 40V. The ZXCT1082, ZXCT1084, and
ZXCT1086, rated for 2.7V to 60V operation, handles automotive load dump and SELV
circuits.
With independent supply and common-mode voltage inputs, the current monitors permit
currents to be measured beyond the limits of normal power supply rails. Their low
quiescent current of 0.6μA means associated measurement errors are significantly
reduced.
The product line offers users the option of both fixed and programmable gain. Providing
a fixed voltage gain of 25 are the ZXCT1084 and ZXCT1085, while for the ZXCT1086 and
ZXCT1087 the gain is 50. The ZXCT1082 and ZXCT1083 use 3 external gain setting
resistors, which increase versatility by enabling wide gain ranges and optimization of
bandwidths.
The current monitors are provided in the small footprint SOT25 package and use green
mold compound. An extended industrial temperature range of -40ºC to 125ºC supports
use in automotive and higher temperature scenarios. Further information is available on
