ZXCT1009 HIGH-SIDE CURRENT MONITOR DESCRIPTION The ZXCT1009 is a high side current sense monitor. Using this device eliminates the need to disrupt the ground plane when sensing a load current. APPLICATIONS • Battery Chargers • Smart Battery Packs • DC Motor control It takes a high side voltage developed across a current shunt resistor and translates it into a proportional output current. • Over current monitor • Power Management • Level translating A user defined output resistor scales the output current into a ground-referenced voltage. • Programmable current source The wide input voltage range of 20V down to as low as 2.5V make it suitable for a range of applications. A minimum operating current of just 4µA, combined with its SOT23 package make it a unique solution, suitable for portable battery equipment. APPLICATION CIRCUIT Vin To Load Rsense FEATURES • Low cost, accurate high-side current sensing. • Output voltage scaling. • Up to 2.5V sense voltage. • 2.5V – 20V supply range. • 4µA quiescent current. • 1% typical accuracy. • SOT23 & SM8† packages.

Vsense = Vin - Vload Vout = 0.01 x Vsense x Rout1 Pmax = (Tjmax – Tamb) / θja E.g. The device power dissipation, PD is given by the expression: A 1A current is to be represented by a 100mV output voltage: PD=Iout.(Vin-Vout) Watts 1)Choose the value of Rsense to give 50mV > Vsense > 500mV at full load. For example Vsense = 100mV at 1.0A. Rsense = 0.1/1.0 => 0.1 ohms. 2)Choose Rout to give Vout = 100mV, when Vsense = 100mV. Rearranging 1 for Rout gives: Rout = Vout /(Vsense x 0.01) SM8 Rout = 0.1 / (0.1 x 0.01) = 100 Ω SOT23 TYPICAL CIRCUIT APPLICATION Vin Rsense ZXCT1009 Vin Load Rload Iout Vout Rout Where Rload represents any load including DC motors, a charging battery or further circuitry that requires monitoring, R sense can be selected on specific requirements of accuracy, size and power rating.

Any circuit connected to Vout will be protected from input voltage transients. This can be of particular use in automotive applications where load dump and other common transients need to be considered.

Most of the support components for the bq2954 are omitted for clarity. This design also uses the Zetex FZT789A high current Super- PNP as the switching transistor in the DC-DC step down converter and the FMMT451 as the drive NPN for the FZT789A. The circuit can be configured to charge up to four Li-Ion cells at a charge current of 1.25A. Charge can be terminated on maximum voltage, selectable minimum current, or maximum time out. Switching frequency of the PWM loop is approximately 120kHz. Vout R Figure 1.0 ZXCT1009 with additional current limiting Resistor Rlim. Assuming the worst case condition of Vout = 0V; providing a low impedance to a transient, the minimum value of Rlim is given by:Rlim(min) = The ZXCT1009 is intended as a direct functional replacement for the ZDS1009, which is featured in a complete design from Unitrode/Texas Instruments on the Li-Ion charger circuit shown above.

The figure below shows output characteristics of the device when using a PCB resistive trace for a low cost solution in replacement for a conventional shunt resistor. The graph shows the linear rise in voltage across the resistor due to the PTC of the material and demonstrates how this rise in resistance value over temperature compensates for the NTC of the device.
