(c) For VSENSE > 10mV, the internal voltage-current converter is fully linear. This enables a true offset to be defined and used.

ZXCT1081 Document number: DS32102 Rev. 1 - 2 7 of 11 www.diodes.com March 2010 © Diodes Incorporated A Product Line of Diodes Incorporated ZXCT1081 Application Information The ZXCT1081 has been designed to allow it to operate with 5V supply rails while sensing common mode signals up to 40V. This makes it well suited to a wide range of industrial and power supply monitoring applications that require the interface to 5V systems while sensing much higher voltages. To allow this its VCC pin can be used independently of SENSE+. Figure 1 shows the basic configuration of the ZXCT1081. Input RSENSE SENSE+ Load SENSE- ZXCT1081 RSH VCC A1 M1 OUT A2 +1 RG GND Figure 1 Typical Configuration of ZXCT1081 Load current from the input is drawn through RSENSE developing a voltage VSENSE across the inputs of the ZXCT1081. The internal amplifier forces VSENSE across internal resistance RSH causing a current to flow through MOSFET M1. This current is then converted to a voltage by RG. A ratio of 10:1 between RG and RSH creates the fixed gain of 10. The output is then buffered by the unity gain buffer. The gain equation of the ZXCT1081 is: VOUT = IL RSENSE RG RSH x 1 = x RSENSE x 10 The maximum recommended differential input voltage, VSENSE, is 150mV; it will however withstand voltages up to 800mΩ. This can be increased further by the inclusion of a resistor, RLIM, between SENSE- pin and the load; typical value is of the order of 10k . ZXCT1081 Document number: DS32102 Rev. 1 - 2 8 of 11 www.diodes.com March 2010 © Diodes Incorporated A Product Line of Diodes Incorporated ZXCT1081 RSENSE RLIM CD SENSE+ SENSE- ZXCT1081 Figure 2 Protection/Error Sources for ZXCT1081 Capacitor CD provides high frequency transient decoupling when used with RLIM; typical values are of the order 10pF. For best performance RSENSE should be connected as close to the SENSE+ (and SENSE ) pins; minimizing any series resistance with RSENSE. 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 ZXCT1081 has been designed to operate with VSENSE of the order of 50mV to 150mV. Current monitors' basic configuration is that of a unipolar voltage to current to voltage converter powered from a single supply rail. The internal amplifier at the heart of the current monitor may well have a bipolar offset voltage but the output cannot go negative; this results in current monitors saturating at very low sense voltages. As a result of this phenomenon the ZXCT1081 has been specified to operate in a linear manner over a VSENSE range of 10mV to 150mV range, however it will still be monotonic down to VSENSE of 0V. It is for this very reason that Zetex has specified an input offset voltage (VO(10)) at 10mV. The output voltage for any VSENSE voltage from 10mV to 150mV can be calculated as follows: VOUT = (VSENSE) xG + VO(10) Alternatively the load current can be expressed as: IL = VOUT – VO(10) GxRSENSE ZXCT1081 Document number: DS32102 Rev. 1 - 2 9 of 11 www.diodes.com March 2010 © Diodes Incorporated A Product Line of Diodes Incorporated ZXCT1081 Package Outline – SOT23-5 DIM A A1 A2 b C D E E1 e e1 L a° Millimeters Min 0.90 0.00 0.90 0.20 0.09 2.70 2.20 1.30 Inches Max 1.45 0.15 1.3 0.50 0.26 3.10 3.20 1.80 Min 0.0354 0.00 0.0354 0.0078 0.0035 0.1062 0.0866 0.0511 0.95 REF 1.90 REF 0.10 0 Max 0.0570 0.0059 0.0511 0.0196 0.0102 0.1220 0.1181 0.0708 0.0374 REF 0.0748 REF 0.60 30 0.0039 0 0.0236 30 Note: Controlling dimensions are in millimeters.
