Product details
Overview
LT6106HS5#WTRMPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-side current sense amplifier in a 5-lead TSOT-23 package, featuring 250 µV max input offset voltage, 40 nA max input bias current, and operation from 2.7 V to 36 V supply. It converts shunt voltage to ground-referenced output current for precision monitoring in automotive battery management and industrial power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LT6106HS5#WTRMPBF datasheet, LT6106HS5#WTRMPBF pinout, LT6106HS5#WTRMPBF application, or LT6106HS5#WTRMPBF equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal grade confirmation (–40°C to 125°C), gain configuration guidance, and real-world error analysis for high-side sensing design validation.
Technical Context
The LT6106HS5#WTRMPBF uses a feedback-controlled current-output architecture: its internal amplifier forces –IN to match +IN potential, enabling precise current mirroring via external RIN. This transconductance design avoids common-mode rejection limitations of voltage-output amplifiers.
It operates with a fixed 150°C maximum junction temperature and 250°C/W θJA, requiring thermal-aware layout when delivering up to 1 mA output into ROUT. Its open-collector output and low 65 µA typical supply current support battery-critical applications without compromising accuracy.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | 2.7 V to 36 V - supports 12 V/24 V automotive and industrial rails; 44 V absolute max prevents damage during load dump. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ≤250 µV - enables accurate sensing down to ~3 mA with 0.02 Ω shunt at 25°C, limiting low-current measurement error. |
| Input Bias Current | ≤40 nA - minimizes voltage error across shunt resistor, critical for high-value RSENSE or Kelvin trace layouts. |
| Output Current | ≤1 mA - defines maximum ROUT value (e.g., 5 kΩ for 5 V full-scale) and constrains power dissipation in output stage. |
| PSRR | ≥106 dB - rejects supply ripple without additional filtering, essential for noisy DC-DC converter outputs. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to 125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial motor control environments. |
| Bandwidth | 200 kHz - supports fast overcurrent detection in motor drives and switch-mode power supplies. |
Pinout & Package
LT6106HS5#WTRMPBF is housed in a 5-lead ThinSOT™ (TSOT-23) package: 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.0 mm profile, 0.95 mm pitch, JEDEC MO-193 compliant. Thermal pad not present; θJA = 250°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OUT (Pin 1) | Current output source | Delivers IOUT = VSENSE/RIN; requires external ROUT to ground to generate VOUT; open-collector structure allows level-shifting. |
| V– (Pin 2) | Ground reference | Must be connected directly to system ground; serves as return path for ROUT and sets output voltage baseline. |
| –IN (Pin 3) | Inverting input node | Driven to same potential as +IN by internal op-amp; connects to V+ via RIN to define transconductance gain. |
| +IN (Pin 4) | Non-inverting input | Connects to load side of shunt resistor; senses VSENSE with minimal error if Kelvin-connected. |
| V+ (Pin 5) | Positive supply & common-mode reference | Connected to either side of shunt; determines whether LT6106 supply current is included in monitored load current. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Gain configurable with two resistors | RIN and ROUT set transconductance (1/RIN) and output voltage scaling (×ROUT) independently-no fixed-gain trade-offs. |
| Low offset drift | 1 µV/°C max - maintains <±0.5% full-scale error over –40°C to 125°C for stable calibration in wide-temp systems. |
| High PSRR | 106 dB min - eliminates need for dedicated LDO or LC filter on V+ rail in noisy power-conversion stages. |
| Low quiescent current | 65 µA typical at 12 V - extends battery life in portable equipment and enables always-on monitoring in sleep modes. |
| Kelvin-compatible inputs | Separate +IN/–IN pins allow 4-wire shunt connection - suppresses PCB trace resistance errors up to 10 A load currents. |
Applications
| Battery Monitoring | Automotive Power Rail Sensing |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX40056ASA+T | Fixed 20 V/V gain; 12-bit digital output via SPI; 500 kHz bandwidth; 1.71–5.5 V supply | Requires digital interface and processor firmware; lacks analog output flexibility for simple comparator use | Select when digital diagnostics, fault logging, or multi-channel synchronization are required over analog simplicity |
| INA240A1DGNR | 20 V/V fixed gain; 85 dB PSRR; 4 V to 80 V supply; 100 kHz bandwidth; 50 µV offset (max) | Higher common-mode range suits 48 V telecom; lower bandwidth limits fast transient capture | Select for ultra-low-offset 48 V systems where 100 kHz response suffices and 80 V abs max provides margin for surges |
Compared with MAX40056ASA+T and INA240A1DGNR, the LT6106HS5#WTRMPBF offers user-configurable analog gain, superior PSRR, and wider temperature qualification, making it optimal for cost-sensitive, thermally demanding analog-feedback loops without digital overhead.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed operating temperature range for LT6106HS5#WTRMPBF?
The LT6106HS5#WTRMPBF is fully specified and tested over –40°C to 125°C ambient temperature, with guaranteed performance including input offset voltage, gain error, and PSRR across this full range. This H-grade qualification meets AEC-Q100 stress test requirements for under-hood automotive deployment.
How does LT6106HS5#WTRMPBF achieve high-side sensing without a level-shifting amplifier?
The LT6106HS5#WTRMPBF uses an internal feedback loop that forces –IN to track +IN, then sources output current proportional to VSENSE through RIN. Since OUT is an open-collector current source referenced to V– (ground), the resulting VOUT = IOUT × ROUT is inherently ground-referenced - no external level shifter needed.
Can LT6106HS5#WTRMPBF monitor its own supply current?
Yes - connect V+ to the load side of the shunt resistor. In this configuration, the LT6106HS5#WTRMPBF's supply current flows through RSENSE and is included in the sensed signal. If V+ connects to the supply side, only load current is measured, excluding the LT6106HS5#WTRMPBF's 65 µA quiescent draw.
What is the maximum recommended RIN value for LT6106HS5#WTRMPBF, and why?
The LT6106HS5#WTRMPBF datasheet specifies a maximum RIN of 500 Ω. Exceeding this value risks violating the device's internal voltage compliance limits at –IN, potentially causing gain inaccuracy or saturation. At 500 Ω and 500 mV VSENSE, output current remains within the 1 mA limit while preserving linearity.
Does LT6106HS5#WTRMPBF include reverse-polarity protection?
No - the LT6106HS5#WTRMPBF has no internal reverse-supply protection. If reverse voltage is possible, a Schottky diode must be placed in series with the V– pin (anode to V–, cathode to system ground) to prevent latch-up or permanent damage, as documented in Linear's application notes.
