Operating Temperature Range: –40°C to 125°C
Available in 8-Lead MSOP and 3mm × 3mm
DFN Packages
The LTC6102/LTC6102HV monitor current via the voltage
across an external sense resistor (shunt resistor). Internal
circuitry converts input voltage to output current, allowing
a small sense signal on a large common mode voltage to
be translated to a ground-referred signal. Low DC offset
allows the use of very low shunt resistor values and large
gain-setting resistors. As a result, power loss in the shunt
is reduced.
The wide operating supply and high accuracy make the
LTC6102/LTC6102HV ideal for a large array of applications
from automotive to industrial and power management. A
maximum input sense voltage of 2V allows a wide range
of currents and voltages to be monitored. Fast response
makes the LTC6102/LTC6102HV the perfect choice for load
current warnings and shutoff protection control.

LTC6102/LTC6102HV
ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
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 LTC6102 must be limited to ensure that the power
dissipation in the LTC6102 does not allow the die temperature to exceed
150°C. See the Applications Information “Output Current Limitations Due
to Power Dissipation” for further information.
Note 2: The LTC6102C/LTC6102HVC are guaranteed to meet specified
performance from 0°C to 70°C. The LTC6102C/LTC6102HVC are designed,
characterized and expected to meet specified performance from –40°C to
85°C but are not tested or QA sampled at these temperatures. LTC6102I/
LTC6102HVI are guaranteed to meet specified performance from –40°C
to 85°C. The LTC6102H/LTC6102HVH are guaranteed to meet specified
performance from –40°C to 125°C.
Note 3: These Parameters are guaranteed by design and are not 100%
tested. Thermocouple effects preclude measurements of these voltage
levels during automated testing.
Note 4: Limits are fully tested. Limit is determined by high speed
automated test capability.
Note 5: IB specification is limited by practical automated test resolution.
Please refer to the Typical Performance Characteristics section for
more information regarding actual typical performance. For tighter
specifications, please contact LTC Marketing.

PIN FUNCTIONS
–INS (Pin 1): Amplifier Inverting Input. When tied to –INF,
the internal sense amplifier will drive –INS to the same
potential as +IN.
–INF (Pin 2): Force Input. This pin carries the input
current from RIN and must be tied to –INS near RIN. A
resistor (RIN) tied from V+ to –INF sets the output current
IOUT = VSENSE/RIN. VSENSE is the voltage across the external RSENSE.
V– (Pins 3, 5): Negative Supply.
OUT (Pin 4): Open-Drain Current output. OUT will source a
current that is proportional to the sense voltage into an ex-
ternal resistor. IOUT is the same current that enters –INF.
VREG (Pin 6): Internal Regulated Supply. A 0.1μF (or
larger) capacitor should be tied from VREG to V+. VREG is
not designed to drive external circuits.
V+ (Pin 7): Positive Supply. Supply current is drawn
through this pin.
+IN (Pin 8): Amplifier Non-Inverting Input. Must be tied
to the system load end of the sense resistor.
Exposed Pad (Pin 9, DFN Only): V–. The Exposed Pad

Figure 1. LTC6102/LTC6102HV Block Diagram and Typical Connection
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The LTC6102 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 –INS to have the
same potential as +IN. Connecting an external resistor,
RIN, between –INS 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 the –INF
pin and 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.

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
dissipation 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 LTC6102. In addition,
RSENSE must be small enough that VSENSE does not exceed
the maximum sense voltage specified by the LTC6102 or
the sense resistor, 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 20A at peak load, RSENSE should be no more
than 5mΩ.
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 LTC6102
has a typical input offset of 3μV. If the minimum current
is 1mA, a sense resistor of 3mΩ will set VSENSE to 3μV.
6102fb

LTC6102/LTC6102HV
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Dynamic Range vs Maximum
Power Dissipation in RSENSE
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.
Peak dissipation is 2W. If a 0.5mΩ sense resistor is employed, then the effective current error is 6mA (0.03%
of full-scale), while the peak sense voltage is reduced to
10mV at 20A, dissipating only 200mW.
The low offset and corresponding large dynamic range of
the LTC6102 make it more flexible than other solutions
in this respect. The 3μV typical offset gives 100dB of dynamic range for a sense voltage that is limited to 300mV
max, and over 116dB of dynamic range if a maximum of
2V is allowed.
The previous example assumes that a large output dynamic
range is required. For circuits that do not require large
dynamic range, the wide input range of the LTC6102 may
be used to reduce the size of the sense resistor, reducing
power loss and increasing reliability. For example, in a
100A circuit requiring 60dB of dynamic range, the input
offset and drift of most current-sense solutions will require
that the shunt be chosen so that the sense voltage is at
least 100mV at full scale so that the minimum input is
greater than 100μV. This will cause power dissipation in
excess of 10W at full scale! That much power loss can put
a significant load on the power supply and create thermal
design headaches. In addition, heating in the sense resistor
can reduce its accuracy and reliability.
In contrast, the large dynamic range of the LTC6102 allows
the use of a much smaller sense resistor. The LTC6102
allows the minimum sense voltage to be reduced to less
than 10μV. The peak sense voltage would then be 10mV,
dissipating only 1W at 100A in a 100μΩ sense resistor!
With a specialized sense resistor, the same system would
allow peak currents of more than 1000A without exceeding
the input range of the LTC6102 or damaging the shunt.

DYNAMIC RANGE (dB)
For this example, choosing a 5mΩ RSENSE will maximize
the dynamic range and provide a system that has 100mV
across the sense resistor at peak load (20A), while input
offset causes an error equivalent to only 0.6mA of load
current.

Sense Resistor Connection
Kelvin connection of +IN and –INS 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
× 10mm square trace of one-ounce copper is approximately 0.5mΩ. 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. An additional error is caused by the
change in copper resistance over temperature, which is in
excess of 0.4%/°C. 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. Figure 2 illustrates the
recommended method. Note that the LTC6102 has a Kelvin
input structure such that current flows into –INF. The –INS
and –INF pins should be tied as close as possible to RIN.
This reduces the parasitic series resistance so that RIN
may be as low as 1Ω, allowing high gain settings to be
used with very little gain error.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Selection of External Input Resistor, RIN
The external input resistor, RIN, controls the transconductance of the current sense circuit, IOUT = VSENSE/RIN. For
example, if RIN = 100, then IOUT = VSENSE/100 or IOUT =
1mA for VSENSE = 100mV.
V+
Care should be taken when designing the PC board layout for RIN, especially for small RIN values. All trace and
interconnect impedances will increase the effective RIN
value, causing a gain error. It is important to note that the
large temperature drift of copper resistance will cause a
change in gain over temperature if proper care is not taken
to reduce this effect.

RIN should be chosen to provide 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 (Note 1) 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 output current and power dissipation. If small sense currents must be resolved accurately in a system that has very wide dynamic range, a
smaller RIN may be used if the max current is limited in
To further limit the effect of trace resistance on gain,
maximizing the accuracy of these circuits, the LTC6102 has
been designed with a Kelvin input. The inverting terminal
(–INS) is separate from the feedback path (–INF). During
operation, these two pins must be connected together.
The design of the LTC6102 is such that current into –INS
is input bias current only, which is typically 60pA at 25°C.
Almost all of the current from RIN flows into –INF, through
the LTC6102, and into ROUT via the OUT pin. In order to
minimize gain error, –INS should be routed in a separate
path from –INF to a point as close to RIN as possible. In
addition, the higher potential terminal of RIN should be
connected directly to the positive terminal of RSENSE (or
any input voltage source). For the highest accuracy, RIN
should be a four-terminal resistor if it is less than 10Ω.
Selection of External Output Resistor, ROUT
The output resistor, ROUT, determines how the output current is converted to voltage. VOUT is simply IOUT • ROUT.
In choosing an output resistor, the max output voltage
must first be considered. If the circuit that is driven by the
output does not have a limited input voltage, then ROUT
6102fb

LTC6102/LTC6102HV
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
must be chosen such that the max output voltage does
not exceed the LTC6102 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.
In addition, the output impedance is determined by ROUT. If
the circuit to be driven has high enough input impedance,
then almost any 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:
VOUT =IOUT •

Error Sources
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:
Output Error, EOUT, Due to the Bias Currents,
IB(+) and IB(–)
The input bias current of the LTC6102 is vanishingly small.
However, for very high resolution, or at high temperatures
where IB increases due to leakage, the current may be
significant.
The bias current IB(+) flows into the positive input of the
internal op amp. IB(–) flows into the negative input.
EOUT(IBIAS) = ROUT((IB(+) • (RSENSE/RIN) – IB(–))
Since IB(+) ≈ IB(–) = IBIAS, if RSENSE << RIN then,
EOUT(IBIAS) ≈ –ROUT • IBIAS
For instance if IBIAS is 1nA and ROUT is 10k, the output
error is –10μV.
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. Under both conditions:
EOUT(IBIAS) = ± ROUT • IOS; IOS = IB(+) – IB(–)
Adding RIN+ as described will maximize the dynamic
range of the circuit. For less sensitive designs, RIN+ is
not necessary.

LTC6102/LTC6102HV
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Clock Feedthrough, Input Bias Current
The LTC6102 uses auto-zeroing circuitry to achieve an
almost zero DC offset over temperature, sense voltage,
and power supply voltage. The frequency of the clock
used for auto-zeroing is typically 10kHz. The term clock
feedthrough is broadly used to indicate visibility of this
clock frequency in the op amp output spectrum. There are
typically two types of clock feedthrough in auto zeroed
amps like the LTC6102.
The first form of clock feedthrough is caused by the
settling of the internal sampling capacitor and is input
referred; that is, it is multiplied by the internal loop gain
of the amp. This form of clock feedthrough is independent of the magnitude of the input source resistance or
the magnitude of the gain setting resistors. The LTC6102
has a residue clock feedthrough of less then 1μVRMS input
referred at 10kHz.
The second form of clock feedthrough is caused by the
small amount of charge injection occurring during the
sampling and holding of the amp’s input offset voltage.
The current spikes are multiplied by the impedance seen
at the input terminals of the amp, appearing at the output
multiplied by the internal loop gain of the internal op amp.
To reduce this form of clock feedthrough, use smaller
valued gain setting resistors and minimize the source
resistance at the input.
Input bias current is defined as the DC current into the
input pins of the op amp. The same current spikes that
cause the second form of clock feedthrough described
above, when averaged, dominate the DC input bias current
of the op amp below 70°C.
As temperature increases, the leakage of the ESD protection diodes on the inputs increases the input bias currents
of both inputs in the positive direction, while the current
caused by the charge injection stays relatively constant. At
temperatures above 70°C, the leakage current dominates
and both the negative and positive pins’ input bias currents
are in the positive direction (into the pins).
Output Current Limitations Due to Power Dissipation
The LTC6102 can deliver more than 1mA continuous current to the output pin. This current flows through RIN and
enters the current sense amp via the –INF pin. The power
dissipated in the LTC6102 due to the output current is:
POUT = (V–INF – VOUT) • IOUT
Since V–INF ≈ V+, POUT ≈ (V+ – VOUT) • IOUT
There is also power dissipated due to the quiescent supply current:
PQ = IS • V+
The total power dissipated is the output current 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 LTC6102 die. In order to
prevent damage to the LTC6102, the maximum expected
dissipation in each application should be calculated. This
number can be multiplied by the θJA value listed in the
package section on page 2 to find the maximum expected
die temperature. This must not be allowed to exceed 150°C
or performance may be degraded.
As an example, if an LTC6102 in the MSOP package is to
be biased at 55V ±5V supply with 1mA output current at
80°C:
PQ(MAX) = IDD(MAX) • V+(MAX) = 39mW
POUT(MAX) = IOUT • V+(MAX) = 60mW
TRISE = θJA • PTOTAL(MAX)
TMAX = TAMBIENT + TRISE
TMAX must be < 125°C
PTOTAL(MAX) ≈ 99mW and the max die temp
will be 110°C
If this same circuit must run at 125°C, the max die temp
will increase to 155°C. (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 DD package has a smaller θJA
than the MSOP package, which will substantially reduce
the die temperature at similar power levels.
6102fb
12
LTC6102/LTC6102HV
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The LTC6102HV 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.
It is important to note that the LTC6102 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 and input resistors and, if input fault
conditions are likely, an external clamp.

The output voltage, VOUT, is simply IOUT • ZOUT. This

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

The LTC6102 may be configured to monitor voltages that are
higher than its supply, provided that the negative terminal
of the input voltage is within the input sense range of the
LTC6102. Figure 6 illustrates a circuit in which the LTC6102
has its supply pin tied to the lower potential terminal of the
sense resistor instead of the higher potential terminal. The
operation of the LTC6102 is such that the –INS and –INF
pins will servo to within a few microvolts of +IN, which is
shorted to V+. Since the input sense range of the LTC6102
includes V+, the circuit will operate properly. The voltage
across RSENSE will be held across RIN by the LTC6102,
causing current VSENSE/RIN to flow to ROUT. In this case,
the supply current of the LTC6102 is also monitored, as
it flows through RSENSE.

Figure 6. LTC6102 Supply Current Monitored with Load
Because the voltage across RSENSE is not restricted to
the sense range of the LTC6102 in this circuit, VSENSE
can be large compared to the allowed sense voltage. This
facilitates the sensing of very large voltages, provided
that RIN is chosen so that VSENSE/RIN does not exceed
the allowed output current. The gain is still controlled by
ROUT/RIN, so either gain or attenuation may be applied to
the input signal as it is translated to the output. Finally,
the input may be a voltage source rather than a sense
resistor, as shown in Figure 7. This circuit allows the
translation of a wide variety of input signals across the
entire supply range of the LTC6102 with only a tiny offset
error while retaining simple gain control set by ROUT/RIN.
Again, very large voltages may be sensed as long as RIN
is chosen so that IOUT does not exceed the allowed output
current. For example, VIN may be as large as 1V with RIN =
1k, or as large as 10V with RIN = 10k. For a 10V maximum
input and a 5V maximum output, RIN = 10k and ROUT = 5k
will allow the LTC6102HV to translate VIN to VOUT with a
common mode voltage of up to 100V. For the case where
a large input resistor is used, a similar resistor in series
with +IN will reduce error due to input bias current.
Reverse Supply Current
Some applications may be tested with reverse-polarity
supplies due to an expectation of this type of fault during
operation. The LTC6102 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 8). This will
limit the reverse current through the LTC6102. Note that
this diode will limit the low voltage performance of the
LTC6102 by effectively reducing the supply voltage to the
part by VD.

In addition, if the output of the LTC6102 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 LTC6102’s output should be connected through
a resistor or Schottky diode (Figure 9).

Response Time
The LTC6102 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 a delay before the output voltage
begins changing. This can be reduced 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 datasheet.
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 close 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 also 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.
For applications that require higher bandwidth from the
LTC6102, care must be taken in choosing RIN. For a general-purpose op-amp, the gain-bandwidth product is used
to determine the speed at a given gain. Gain is determined
by external resistors, and the gain-bandwidth product is
an intrinsic property of the amplifier. The same is true
for the LTC6102, except that the feedback resistance is
determined by an internal FET characteristic. The feedback
impedance is approximately 1/gm of the internal MOSFET.
The impedance is reduced as current into –INF is increased.
At 1mA, the impedance of the MOSFET is on the order of
10kΩ. RIN sets the closed-loop gain of the internal loop
as 1/(RIN • gm). The bandwidth is then limited to GBW •
(RIN • gm), with a maximum bandwidth of around 2MHz.
This is illustrated in the characteristic curves, where gain
vs frequency for two input conditions is shown. The exact
impedance of the MOSFET is difficult to determine, as it
is a function of input current, process, and capacitance,
and has a very different characteristic for low currents
vs high currents. However, it is clear that smaller values
of RIN and smaller values of IOUT will generally result in
lower closed-loop bandwidth. VSENSE and RIN should be
chosen to maximize both IOUT and closed-loop gain for
highest speed. Theoretically, maximum bandwidth would
be achieved for the case where VIN = 10VDC and RIN = 10k,
giving IOUT = 1mA and a closed-loop gain near 1. However,
this may not be possible in a practical application. Note
that the MOSFET gm is determined by the average or DC
value of IOUT, not the peak value. Adding DC current to a
small AC input will help increase the bandwidth.
VREG Bypassing
The LTC6102 has an internally regulated supply near V+
for internal bias. It is not intended for use as a supply or
bias pin for external circuitry. A 0.1μF capacitor should be
connected between the VREG and V+ pins. This capacitor
should be located very near to the LTC6102 for the best
performance. In applications which have large supply transients, a 6.8V zener diode may be used in parallel with this
bypass capacitor for additional transient suppression.
