The LT®6100 is a complete micropower, precision, high
side current sense amplifier. The LT6100 monitors unidirectional currents via the voltage across an external sense
resistor. Fixed gains of 10, 12.5, 20, 25, 40, 50V/V are
obtained by simply strapping or floating two gain select
pins. Gain accuracy is better than 0.5% for all gains.
n
The LT6100 sense inputs have a voltage range that extends
from 4.1V to 48V, and can withstand a differential voltage
of the full supply. This makes it possible to monitor the
voltage across a MOSFET switch or a fuse. The part can
also withstand a reverse battery condition on the inputs.
Input offset is a low 300µV. CMRR and PSRR are in excess of 105dB, resulting in a wide dynamic range. A filter
pin is provided to easily implement signal filtering with a
single capacitor.

The LT6100 has a separate supply input, which operates
from 2.7V to 36V and draws only 60µA. When VCC is
powered down, the sense pins are biased off. This prevents loading of the monitored circuit, irrespective of the
sense voltage. The LT6100 is available in an 8-lead DFN
and MSOP package.

PIN FUNCTIONS
VS– (Pin 1): Negative Sense Input Terminal. Negative
sense voltage input will remain functional for voltages
up to 48V. VS– is connected to an internal gain-setting
resistor RG1 = 5k.
VCC (Pin 2): Supply Voltage Input. This power supply pin
supplies current to both current sense amplifier and op amp.
FIL (Pin 3): Filter Pin. Connects to an external capacitor
to roll off differential noise of the system. Pole frequency
f–3dB = 1/(2πRFILC), RFIL = RE + RO = 60k.
VEE (Pin 4): Negative Supply or Ground for Single Supply
Operation.
A2 (Pin 6): Gain Select Pin. Refer to Table 1.
A4 (Pin 7): Gain Select Pin. When Pin 7 is shorted to VEE,
the total gain is 40V/V. When both Pin 6 and Pin 7 are
shorted to VEE, the total gain is 50V/V. When both Pin 6
and Pin 7 are opened, the total gain is 10V/V.
VS+ (Pin 8): Positive Sense Input Terminal. Connecting a
supply to VS+ and a load to VS– will allow the LT6100 to
monitor the current through RSENSE, refer to Figure 1. VS+
is connected to an internal gain setting resistor RG2 = 5k.
VS+ remains functional for voltages up to 48V.
VOUT (Pin 5): Voltage Output Proportional to the Magnitude
of the Current Flowing Through RSENSE:
VOUT = AV • (VSENSE ± VOS)
VOS is the input offset voltage. AV is the total gain of the
LT6100.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The LT6100 high side current sense amplifier (Figure 1)
provides accurate unidirectional monitoring of current
through a user-selected sense resistor. The LT6100 features a fully specified 4.1V to 48V input common mode
range. A high PSRR VCC supply (2.7V to 36V) powers the
current sense amplifier and the internal op amp circuitry.
The input sense voltage is level shifted from the positive
sense power supply to the ground reference and amplified
by a user-selected gain to the output. The buffered output
voltage is directly proportional to the current flowing
through the sense resistor.
Theory of Operation (Refer to Figure 1)
Current from the source at VS+ flows through RSENSE to
the load at VS–, creating a sense voltage, VSENSE. Inputs
VS+ and VS– apply the sense voltage to RG2. The opposite
ends of resistors RG1 and RG2 are forced to be at equal
potentials by the voltage gain of amplifier A1. The current
through RG2 is forced to flow through transistor Q1 and is
sourced to node VO1. The current from RG2 flowing through
resistor RO gives a voltage gain of ten, VO1/VSENSE = RO/
RG2 = 10V/V. The sense amplifier output at VO1 is amplified again by amplifier A2. The inputs of amplifier A2 can
operate to ground which ensures that small sense voltage
signals are detected. Amplifier A2 can be programmed to
different gains via Pin 6 and Pin 7. Thus, the total gain of
the system becomes AV = 10 • A2 and VOUT = VSENSE • AV .
Gain Setting
The LT6100 gain is set by strapping (or floating) the two
gain pins (see Table 1). This feature allows the user to
“zoom in” by increasing the gain for accurate measurement of low currents.

Selection of External Current Sense Resistor
External RSENSE resistor selection is a delicate trade-off
between power dissipation in the resistor and current measurement accuracy. The maximum sense voltage may be
as large as ±300mV to get maximum dynamic range. For
high current applications, the user may want to minimize
the sense voltage to minimize the power dissipation in
the sense resistor. The LT6100’s low input offset voltage
of 80µV allows for high resolution of low sense voltages.
This allows limiting the maximum sense voltage while still
providing high resolution current monitoring.
Kelvin connection of the LT6100’s VS+ and VS– inputs to
the sense resistor should be used to provide the highest
accuracy in high current applications. Solder connections
and PC board interconnect resistance (approximately
0.5mΩ per square) can be a large error in high current
systems. A 5A application might choose a 20mΩ sense
resistor to give a 100mV full-scale input to the LT6100.
Input offset voltage will limit resolution to 4mA. Neglecting contact resistance at solder joints, even one square
of PC board copper at each resistor end will cause an
error of 5%. This error will grow proportionately higher
as monitored current levels rise.
AV = 10V/V • G2, G2 is the gain of op amp A2.

LT6100
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The LT6100 provides signal filtering via pin FIL that is
internally connected to the resistors RE and RO. This pin
may be used to filter the input signal entering the LT6100’s
internal op amp, and should be used when fast ripple current or transients flow through the sense resistor. High
frequency signals above the 300kHz bandwidth of the
LT6100’s internal amplifier will cause errors. A capacitor
connected between FIL and VEE creates a single pole low
pass filter with corner frequency:
f–3dB = 1/(2πRFILC)
where RFIL = 60k. A 220pF capacitor creates a pole at
12kHz, a good choice for many applications.
Output Signal Range
The LT6100’s output signal is developed by current through
RG2 into output resistor RO. The current is VSENSE/RG2. The
sense amplifier output, VO1, is buffered by the internal op
amp so that connecting the output pins to other systems will
preserve signal accuracy. For zero VSENSE, internal circuit
saturation with loss of accuracy occurs at the minimum
VOUT swing, 15mV above VEE. VOUT may swing positive
to within 75mV of VCC or a maximum of 36V, a limit set
by internal junction breakdown. Within these constraints,
1.5
Sense Input Signal Range
The LT6100 has high CMRR over the wide input voltage
range of 4.1V to 48V. The minimum operation voltage of
the sense amplifier input is 1.4V above VCC. The output
remains accurate even when the sense inputs are driven
to 48V. Figure 2 shows that VOS changes very slightly
over a wide input range. Furthermore, the sense inputs
VS+ and VS– can collapse to zero volts without incurring
any damage to the device. The LT6100 can handle differential sense voltages up to the voltage of the sense
inputs supplies. For example, VS+ = 48V and VS– = 0V can
be a valid condition in a current monitoring application
(Figure 3) when an overload protection fuse is blown and
VS– voltage collapses to ground. Under this condition, the
output of the LT6100 goes to the positive rail, VOH. There
is no phase inversion to cause an erroneous output signal.
For the opposite case when VS+ collapse to ground with
VS– held up at some higher voltage potential, the output
will sit at VOL. If both inputs fall below the minimum CM
voltage, VCC + 1.4V, the output is indeterminate but the
LT6100 will not be damaged.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Power Down While Connected to a Battery
its inputs remain high impedance (see Figure 8). This is
due to the implementation of Linear Technology’s OverThe-Top® input topology at its front end. When powered
down, the LT6100 inputs draw less than 1µA of current.
Another unique benefit of the LT6100 is that you can leave it
connected to a battery even when it is denied power. When
the LT6100 loses power or is intentionally powered down,
