Product details
Overview
LT6100HDD#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a precision, micropower, high-side current sense amplifier with pin-selectable gain (10–50 V/V), 4.1V to 48V input common-mode range, ±300 µV max input offset, and 0.5% gain accuracy. It monitors unidirectional load currents via an external sense resistor in battery protection, fuse monitoring, and industrial power systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT6100HDD#PBF datasheet, LT6100HDD#PBF pinout, LT6100HDD#PBF application, or LT6100HDD#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its –40°C to 125°C operating temperature grade, 8-lead DFN package, reverse-battery tolerance to –48V, 60 µA supply current, and buffered output with noise filtering capability.
Technical Context
The LT6100HDD#PBF employs an Over-The-Top® input topology enabling operation with VS+ up to 48V while powered from a separate 2.7V–36V VCC rail. Its two-stage architecture first level-shifts and amplifies the sense voltage (VSENSE = VS+ – VS–) with fixed 10 V/V gain, then applies programmable op-amp gain (G2 = 1–5) for total gains of 10–50 V/V.
Gain selection is implemented via strapping A2 (Pin 6) and A4 (Pin 7) to VEE or leaving them open, with no external resistors required. The FIL pin provides a dedicated low-pass filter node (f–3dB = 1/(2π × 60 kΩ × C)) for rejecting high-frequency noise on the sense signal.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Common-Mode Range | 4.1V to 48V - enables direct monitoring of high-side MOSFETs, fuses, or battery inputs without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Gain Accuracy | ±0.5% - ensures current measurement error remains below 0.5% across all six selectable gains (10/12.5/20/25/40/50 V/V). |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±350 µV (max, DD package, –40°C to 125°C) - supports accurate low-current sensing down to ~1 mA with 100 mΩ sense resistor. |
| Supply Current | 60 µA (typ) - allows continuous current monitoring in always-on battery-powered systems with minimal drain. |
| Reverse Battery Protection | Withstands –48V on VS+/VS– - eliminates need for external blocking diodes in automotive or backup battery applications. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to 125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial motor control, and high-reliability embedded systems. |
| Power-Down Input Leakage | 1 nA (max) when VCC = 0V - prevents loading of monitored circuit during system sleep or brownout conditions. |
Pinout & Package
LT6100HDD#PBF is housed in an 8-lead (3 mm × 3 mm) plastic DFN package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 9, connected to VEE). The package supports high-density PCB layouts and efficient heat dissipation in space-constrained power management modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VS– (Pin 1) | Negative Sense Input | Connects to low side of sense resistor; withstands up to 48V common-mode; internal 5 kΩ gain-setting resistor. |
| VCC (Pin 2) | Supply Input | Powers both sense amplifier and output op-amp; operates from 2.7V to 36V; draws only 60 µA. |
| FIL (Pin 3) | Noise Filter Node | Internal connection to 60 kΩ RC network; adding capacitor sets single-pole low-pass cutoff (e.g., 220 pF → 12 kHz). |
| VEE (Pin 4) | Negative Supply / Ground | Reference for output stage and FIL pin; exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical performance. |
| VOUT (Pin 5) | Buffered Output | Amplified, level-shifted representation of VSENSE × AV; drives capacitive loads up to 1000 pF without instability. |
| A2 (Pin 6) | Gain Select Input | Strapping to VEE or floating selects G2 = 1/1.25/2/2.5/4/5; combined with fixed 10× front-end yields total AV = 10–50 V/V. |
| A4 (Pin 7) | Gain Select Input | Second gain control pin; used with A2 per Table 1 to set final gain; no pull-up/down required. |
| VS+ (Pin 8) | Positive Sense Input | Connects to high side of sense resistor; withstands up to 48V common-mode; internal 5 kΩ gain-setting resistor. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Over-The-Top® Input Architecture | Enables VS+ operation up to 48V independent of VCC, eliminating need for charge pumps or isolated supplies in high-side sensing. |
| Pin-Selectable Gain | Six precise gains (10/12.5/20/25/40/50 V/V) set by strapping two pins-no external components or trimming required. |
| Reverse-Battery Tolerance | Survives –48V applied to VS+/VS– terminals, protecting against accidental battery reversal in automotive and portable equipment. |
| Power-Down High-Impedance Inputs | When VCC = 0V, sense inputs draw ≤1 nA, allowing permanent connection to battery rails without parasitic drain. |
| Integrated Noise Filtering | Dedicated FIL pin simplifies EMI suppression with single external capacitor-critical for noisy switching power supply environments. |

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 | Fixed gain (20 V/V), lower offset (±25 µV), wider common-mode (–4 V to 80 V), but requires external VREF for bidirectional sensing. | Optimized for bidirectional current sensing in motor control; lacks pin-selectable gain flexibility. | Select when ultra-low offset and extended negative common-mode are critical, and fixed gain suffices. |
| MAX40056ATA+T | Fixed gain (50 V/V), higher bandwidth (1 MHz), integrated reference, but narrower temp range (–40°C to 125°C same, but not specified for extended life at 125°C). | Better suited for fast transient detection in power supply OCP; lacks programmable gain and reverse-battery rating. | Select when high-speed response and integrated reference simplify design, and reverse-battery protection is not required. |
Compared with INA240A1IDR and MAX40056ATA+T, LT6100HDD#PBF uniquely combines pin-selectable gain, –48V reverse-battery tolerance, and guaranteed 125°C operation in a compact DFN-making it optimal for ruggedized, multi-range, high-voltage industrial monitoring where layout simplicity and fault resilience are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum common-mode voltage supported by LT6100HDD#PBF?
The LT6100HDD#PBF supports a differential sense voltage of ±48V and a total VS+, VS– to VEE voltage of 48V. Its input common-mode range extends from 4.1V to 48V, enabling direct monitoring of high-side nodes in 48V battery systems and industrial power rails without attenuation or isolation.
How does LT6100HDD#PBF achieve reverse-battery protection?
The LT6100HDD#PBF withstands –48V applied to its VS+ and VS– pins due to internal Over-The-Top® input circuitry and robust ESD protection. This eliminates the need for external series diodes in automotive or backup power applications, preserving measurement accuracy and reducing BOM cost and board area.
Can LT6100HDD#PBF operate with VCC disconnected while still connected to a live battery?
Yes. When VCC = 0V, the LT6100HDD#PBF's sense inputs draw ≤1 nA, maintaining high impedance and preventing parasitic loading of the battery. This feature enables "always-connected" monitoring in battery-backed systems without compromising standby current budget.
What is the purpose of the FIL pin on LT6100HDD#PBF?
The FIL pin on LT6100HDD#PBF connects internally to a 60 kΩ resistor network and allows implementation of a single-pole low-pass filter by adding an external capacitor. For example, a 220 pF capacitor sets f–3dB ≈ 12 kHz-ideal for suppressing switching noise in DC-DC converter current sensing applications.
Which gain options are available on LT6100HDD#PBF and how are they selected?
The LT6100HDD#PBF offers six precise gains: 10, 12.5, 20, 25, 40, and 50 V/V. Selection is achieved by strapping A2 (Pin 6) and A4 (Pin 7) to VEE or leaving them open per Table 1 in the datasheet-no external resistors or configuration registers are needed, simplifying hardware design and reducing component count.
