Product details
Overview
LT6118IDCB#TRMPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-side current sense amplifier with integrated 400mV precision reference and latching comparator, designed for fast overcurrent detection in industrial and automotive power systems. It delivers 200µV max input offset, 0.2% max gain error, 1MHz bandwidth, and 1.4µs total propagation delay - enabling reliable fault response in motor control and battery monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the LT6118IDCB#TRMPBF datasheet, LT6118IDCB#TRMPBF pinout, LT6118IDCB#TRMPBF application, or LT6118IDCB#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.7V–60V supply range, –40°C to 85°C operating temperature, 8-lead DFN (2mm × 3mm) package, and independent comparator input/output architecture supporting external threshold configuration via resistors.
Technical Context
The LT6118IDCB#TRMPBF integrates a precision current-sense amplifier with rail-to-rail output current sourcing (OUTA), a dedicated 400mV ±1.25% internal reference, and a comparator with programmable latch enable (LE pin) and power-on reset functionality. Its SENSEHI/SENSELO inputs operate with up to 33V common-mode voltage relative to V+, and the comparator's open-drain OUTC output supports pull-up voltages up to 60V above V–.
Amplifier gain is set externally via RIN (e.g., 100Ω for G = 100), while comparator trip point is configured using ROUT; both functions remain electrically isolated. The device achieves 500ns step response and maintains 110dB CMRR at 60V common-mode, ensuring accuracy in noisy high-voltage environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7V to 60V - supports direct connection to high-side bus rails without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±200µV max - enables accurate low-current sensing down to ~20mA with 10mΩ shunt. |
| Gain Error | ±0.2% max - ensures stable current-to-voltage conversion across temperature and supply variations. |
| Bandwidth | 1MHz - sufficient for real-time error detection in motor control loops and switching power supplies. |
| Propagation Delay | 1.4µs typical - allows rapid fault flag assertion before destructive overcurrent events escalate. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial ambient and under-hood automotive use cases. |
| Package | 8-lead DFN (2mm × 3mm) with exposed V– pad - provides low thermal resistance (θJA = 64°C/W) for high-power density designs. |
Pinout & Package
LT6118IDCB#TRMPBF uses an 8-lead plastic DFN package (2mm × 3mm) with exposed pad (Pin 9) connected internally to V–. The package supports reflow soldering and offers improved thermal performance over MSOP.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SENSELO (Pin 1) | Sense amplifier non-inverting input | Connected to load side of shunt resistor; defines reference potential for differential sense voltage. |
| LE (Pin 2) | Latch enable control | High = comparator output latches low on trip; low = transparent comparator operation with POR capability. |
| OUTC (Pin 3) | Open-drain comparator output | Drives external logic or microcontroller interrupt; supports pull-up to any voltage ≤60V above V–. |
| V– (Pin 4) | Negative supply / ground reference | Primary return path for supply current and amplifier output; exposed pad connects to same node. |
| INC (Pin 5) | Comparator inverting input | Internally referenced to 400mV; external resistor divider sets actual trip threshold relative to V–. |
| OUTA (Pin 6) | Current-output amplifier | Sources IOUTA = VSENSE/RIN; requires external ROUT to convert to voltage for downstream circuits. |
| V+ (Pin 7) | Positive supply / high-side rail | Connects directly to high-side of shunt; supplies operating current and defines common-mode range. |
| SENSEHI (Pin 8) | Sense amplifier inverting input | Driven to match SENSELO by internal amplifier; Kelvin connection minimizes trace-resistance errors. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 400mV precision reference | ±1.25% total threshold error enables accurate, resistor-free comparator setup with minimal BOM count. |
| Latching comparator with LE control | Enables persistent fault flagging until system-level reset - critical for safety-critical overcurrent protection. |
| Power-on reset (POR) capability | Ensures known comparator state at startup, eliminating spurious trips during power ramp-up. |
| 1.4µs total propagation delay | Supports sub-microsecond fault response in high-speed motor drives and DC-DC converters. |
| 85°C extended temperature grade | Validated performance up to +85°C ambient - suitable for enclosed industrial controllers and automotive ECUs. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX40056ATA+T | Higher 3.5µs propagation delay; no integrated reference; requires external 400mV source for comparator. | Lacks built-in POR and latch enable; comparator behavior less deterministic at startup. | Choose when external reference already exists and lower cost outweighs missing latch/POR features. |
| INA286AIDR | Fixed 50V/V gain; no comparator; 600µV offset; 2.7V–18V supply only. | Requires external comparator and reference; unsuitable for >18V bus or latch-based protection schemes. | Select only for low-voltage (<18V), non-latching applications where fixed-gain simplifies design. |
Compared with MAX40056ATA+T and INA286AIDR, LT6118IDCB#TRMPBF uniquely combines integrated reference, latch control, POR, and 60V operation - reducing component count and improving fault-response determinism in industrial and automotive overcurrent protection.

FAQ
What is the maximum common-mode voltage the LT6118IDCB#TRMPBF can handle?
The LT6118IDCB#TRMPBF supports a maximum V+ to V– supply voltage of 60V and a maximum V+ – (SENSELO or SENSEHI) differential of 33V. This allows it to monitor currents on high-side rails up to 60V while maintaining accurate amplification of small sense voltages across the shunt resistor. The 33V limit ensures safe operation even when SENSEHI floats near V+.
Does the LT6118IDCB#TRMPBF require external resistors to set gain and threshold?
Yes, the LT6118IDCB#TRMPBF requires external resistors: RIN between SENSEHI and V+ sets amplifier gain (G = ROUT/RIN), and ROUT between OUTA and V– converts output current to voltage. The comparator threshold is set by a resistor divider from OUTA to V–, referenced to the internal 400mV reference. No external reference is needed.
Can the LT6118IDCB#TRMPBF be used in automotive applications?
Yes - the LT6118IDCB#TRMPBF is specified for –40°C to +85°C operation and features robust ESD protection, 60V absolute maximum ratings, and latch-enabled fault detection ideal for automotive body control modules, battery disconnect units, and motor drivers. It meets AEC-Q200 stress test requirements when used within its rated conditions.
What is the purpose of the LE pin on the LT6118IDCB#TRMPBF?
The LE (Latch Enable) pin on the LT6118IDCB#TRMPBF controls whether the comparator output latches low after tripping. When LE is high, OUTC remains low until manually reset; when LE is low, OUTC returns high immediately when the input falls below the hysteresis threshold. This enables flexible fault-handling strategies - from one-shot shutdown to continuous monitoring.
How does the LT6118IDCB#TRMPBF achieve fast step response despite high common-mode voltage?
The LT6118IDCB#TRMPBF achieves 500ns step response through a proprietary high-speed amplifier topology that decouples input stage biasing from common-mode voltage swings. Its matched internal transistor pairs and optimized compensation maintain stability and bandwidth across the full 2.7V–60V supply range, enabling rapid settling even with large dV/dt on the SENSEHI/SENSELO nodes.
