Product details
Overview
CS30CL from STMicroelectronics is a high-side current sense amplifier with fixed 100 V/V gain, operating over 2.8–30 V input common-mode voltage independent of 4–24 V supply, ±1.5 mV max input offset, and 300 µA max supply current in SOT23-5L package. It enables precision shunt-based current monitoring in battery chargers and portable power systems where ground-referenced output and high-voltage tolerance are critical.
For engineers reviewing the CS30CL datasheet, CS30CL pinout, CS30CL application, or CS30CL equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world use cases in wireless charging and wearable power management, and validated alternative options for design flexibility.
Technical Context
The CS30CL uses a proprietary current-sense topology that decouples input common-mode voltage (2.8–30 V) from supply voltage (4–24 V), enabling direct high-side sensing at bus voltages far exceeding VCC. Its internal gain stage is trimmed to 100 V/V with ±4.5% accuracy over temperature.
It features 105 dB typical CMRR and SVRR, 0.4 mV/°C output voltage drift, and 10 µs settling time to 1% for 10–100 mV step inputs with 47 pF load. Input bias current is 5.5–8 µA, and short-circuit sink/source capability reaches 60 mA / 26 mA respectively.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side current sense amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA240A1IDR | 20 V/V gain, 80 V common-mode, 1.5 µV/°C offset drift, SOIC-8 package | Higher voltage rating suits 48 V industrial buses; larger package increases board area by 3× | Select when >30 V common-mode or lower drift is required; not drop-in due to gain and footprint mismatch |
| MAX4080TASA+ | 100 V/V gain, 76 V common-mode, 125 µA supply current, 8-pin µMAX package | Lower power enables always-on monitoring in energy-harvesting systems; no SOT23-5L option | Choose for ultra-low IQ designs where SOT23-5L is not mandatory; requires PCB redesign |
Compared with CS30CL, INA240A1IDR offers higher voltage resilience but demands more board space and lacks matching gain; MAX4080TASA+ matches gain and improves IQ but uses a non-SOT23 footprint and has lower CMRR (90 dB vs. 105 dB), impacting noise-sensitive wearable applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable shunt resistor value for CS30CL at 24 V supply?
The CS30CL supports shunt values up to 100 mΩ when measuring up to 3 A load current. At 24 V supply and 30 V common-mode, the device maintains 100 V/V gain accuracy and 300 µA supply current. Exceeding 100 mΩ risks violating the ±60 V absolute maximum differential input rating if load transients occur.
Can CS30CL be used with a 3.3 V microcontroller ADC without level shifting?
Yes. With 100 V/V gain and a 30 mV full-scale shunt voltage, CS30CL outputs 3.0 V - directly compatible with 3.3 V ADC references. The buffered output drives standard 10 kΩ ADC inputs with <0.1% gain error, eliminating need for external op-amp buffers or dividers.
Does CS30CL require external filtering for EMI suppression in wireless charger applications?
No external RC filter is required for basic operation, but ST recommends a 47 pF capacitor from Out to GND per datasheet Figure 14 to ensure stability and suppress RF coupling above 1 MHz. Larger capacitors degrade 10 µs settling time and may cause oscillation.
How does the input offset voltage affect accuracy at low load currents?
At 10 mV sense voltage, ±1.5 mV offset introduces ±15% full-scale error before correction. For sub-100 mA measurements, calibration or software offset subtraction is recommended. The ±2.3 mV max offset at temperature extremes further degrades low-current accuracy without compensation.
