ZXCT1041
Bidirectional precision high-side current monitor
Description
The ZXCT1041 is a bidirectional precision highside current sense monitor. The output voltage
is proportional to the differential input voltage.
Direction of current flow is indicated by the
Flag pin.
The very low offset voltage enables a typical
accuracy of 2% for sense voltages of only
10mV, giving better tolerances for small sense
resistors necessary at higher currents.
The wide input voltage range of 20V down to
as low as 2.7V make it suitable for a range of
applications.
The ZXCT1041 provides a fixed gain of 10 for
applications
where
minimal
external
components are required.
A minimum operating current of just 40␮A,
combined with a SOT23-5 package makes the
ZXCT1041 particularly suitable for portable
battery equipment.

ZXCT1041
Application information
The ZXCT1041 uses two current monitors in anti-parallel to provide bidirectional current
measurement. The integrated resistors while having a broad actual value variance provide very
good matching to one another; this provides very tight gain matching from forward current
measurement to reverse current management and removes the need to trim the resistor values.
The internal transconductance setting resistors have a nominal value of 1.5k⍀ thereby setting the
internal transconductance to 0.67mA/V of VSENSE-. The outputs of both current monitors (current)
are summed into an internal common gain-setting resistor of 15k⍀. This sets the overall gain to
10 which has a very small variance due to the very good matching of internal transistors.
To improve accuracy the offset of amplifier 1 is trimmed.
The direction of measured current flow is determined by comparing the voltages applied to the
bases of transconductance transistors (Q1 and Q2). For maximum versatility the flag output uses
an open collector; this allows the ZXCT1041 to monitor rails at a much higher potential than what
the flag output is interfacing to.

A common application for micro-power current monitors is measuring the discharge current of a
rechargeable lithium ion/polymer battery. The ZXCT1041 enables measuring both the charge and
discharge current into the battery and with its wide operating voltage of 2.5 to 20V enables it to
measure the currents in to/ out of up to 4 cells connected in series.

When choosing appropriate values for RSENSE a compromise must be reached between in-line
signal loss (including potential power dissipation effects) and small signal accuracy.
Higher values for RSENSE gives better accuracy at low load currents by reducing the inaccuracies
due to internal offsets. For best operation the ZXCT1041 has been designed to operate with
VSENSE of the order of 50mV to 150mV.
