Product details
Overview
LTC4151CMS#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-side power monitor IC with integrated 12-bit ΔΣ ADC, operating from 7V to 80V input supply. It continuously measures high-side current (via SENSE+/- differential input, full-scale 81.92 mV), input voltage (VIN, full-scale 102.4 V), and external analog voltage (ADIN, full-scale 2.048 V), all reported via I²C interface. Designed for telecom infrastructure monitoring, it supports continuous scan mode (7.5 Hz update rate) and on-demand snapshot mode.
For engineers reviewing the LTC4151CMS#PBF datasheet, LTC4151CMS#PBF pinout, LTC4151CMS#PBF application, or LTC4151CMS#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 10-lead MSOP package, 0°C to 70°C temperature grade, SHDN pin for 120 µA shutdown current, and compatibility with standard I²C bus timing (400 kHz max).
Technical Context
The LTC4151CMS#PBF implements a ΔΣ ADC architecture that inherently averages noise during conversion, enabling stable high-side current sensing in noisy industrial and telecom environments. Its internal reference is fixed at 2.048 V, and the ADC sequentially samples three channels: (SENSE+ − SENSE−), VIN, and ADIN - each with dedicated full-scale ranges and LSB resolutions (20 µV, 25 mV, 0.5 mV respectively).
It features configurable I²C addressing via ADR0/ADR1 pins (nine possible addresses), supports SMBus Read/Write Byte/Word/Page commands, and includes a stuck-bus reset timer (33 ms timeout). Unlike LTC4151-1/-2 variants, the LTC4151CMS#PBF uses a single bidirectional SDA pin and includes a dedicated SHDN pin - no split SDAI/SDAO or inversion logic.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 7 V to 80 V - enables direct monitoring of 48 V telecom rails and industrial 24–72 V systems without external level-shifting. |
| Current Sense Full-Scale | 81.92 mV - supports accurate high-side current measurement with typical 0.02 Ω sense resistor (4.096 A full-scale). |
| VIN Measurement Range | 0–102.4 V - covers full 7–80 V operating range with 25 mV LSB resolution for precise input rail tracking. |
| ADIN Input Range | 0–2.048 V - allows monitoring of auxiliary voltages (e.g., battery, sensor outputs) with 0.5 mV LSB resolution. |
| I²C Clock Frequency | Up to 400 kHz - compatible with standard Fast-mode I²C controllers without requiring custom timing adjustments. |
| Shutdown Current | 120 µA - reduces system standby power when high-side monitoring is temporarily disabled. |

Pinout & Package
Package: 10-Lead Plastic MSOP (MS package), 3 mm × 3 mm footprint, exposed pad optional for thermal relief.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 SENSE− | High-side current sense input | Differential input referenced to SENSE+; connects to low side of external sense resistor. |
| 2 GND | Device ground | Analog/digital reference node; must be connected to system ground plane with low impedance. |
| 3 SHDN | Shutdown control input | Pulled up internally to 6.3 V; drive below 1 V to enter 120 µA shutdown mode. |
| 4 SDA | I²C bidirectional data line | Open-drain output/input; requires external pull-up to VIN (not VDD) due to internal 6 V clamp. |
| 5 SCL | I²C clock input | Open-collector input; driven by master; requires external pull-up to VIN with internal 6 V clamp. |
| 6 SENSE+ | Kelvin sense of VIN | Must connect directly to VIN pin (not PCB trace) to eliminate IR drop error in current measurement. |
| 7 VIN | Power supply and voltage sense input | Accepts 7–80 V; supplies internal circuitry and provides full-scale 102.4 V input for ADC. |
| 8 ADR1 | I²C address configuration | Three-state input (VIN/GND/open) to select one of nine I²C addresses per Table 1. |
| 9 ADR0 | I²C address configuration | Three-state input (VIN/GND/open); used with ADR1 to configure device address bits a1/a0. |
| 10 ADIN | External analog voltage input | Monitors 0–2.048 V signals; tied to GND if unused; 2 MΩ input resistance minimizes loading. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ΔΣ ADC architecture | Provides inherent noise averaging for stable current/voltage readings in electrically noisy 48 V telecom environments. |
| Three-channel sequential sampling | Automatically cycles through SENSE, VIN, and ADIN every ~133 ms (7.5 Hz), eliminating need for host polling coordination. |
| Snapshot mode with channel selection | Enables on-demand single-shot measurement of any one channel (SENSE/VIN/ADIN) via I²C register write, reducing bus traffic. |
| Dedicated SHDN pin | Reduces quiescent current to 120 µA without altering I²C address or register state - ideal for power-gated subsystems. |
| Internal 2.048 V reference | Stabilizes ADC accuracy across temperature and supply variations; eliminates need for external reference component. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the LTC4151CMS#PBF can monitor?
The LTC4151CMS#PBF monitors input voltage (VIN) with a full-scale range of 0–102.4 V and an absolute maximum rating of 90 V. Its specified operating range is 7 V to 80 V, making it suitable for 48 V telecom systems and industrial 24–72 V rails. Exceeding 80 V may compromise accuracy, and operation above 90 V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Does the LTC4151CMS#PBF support opto-isolation on its I²C interface?
No, the LTC4151CMS#PBF does not support opto-isolation. It uses a single bidirectional SDA pin. Opto-isolation capability is exclusive to the LTC4151-1 and LTC4151-2 variants, which feature split SDAI (input) and SDAO (output) pins. The LTC4151CMS#PBF is intended for same-ground I²C communication; adding external isolation requires external level-shifting or isolator ICs.
How does the SHDN pin function on the LTC4151CMS#PBF?
The SHDN pin on the LTC4151CMS#PBF is internally pulled up to 6.3 V. Driving it below 1 V (typical threshold 1.5 V max) places the device into shutdown mode, reducing quiescent current to 120 µA. Leaving SHDN open maintains normal operation. This pin is absent on LTC4151-1/-2 variants, which rely on I²C command-based power control instead.
What is the resolution and full-scale range for current sensing on the LTC4151CMS#PBF?
The LTC4151CMS#PBF provides 12-bit resolution for current sensing with a full-scale differential input of 81.92 mV and an LSB step size of 20 µV. When used with a 0.02 Ω sense resistor, this yields a full-scale current of 4.096 A. The SENSE+ pin must be connected via Kelvin sense directly to the VIN pin to maintain accuracy and reject PCB trace resistance errors.
Can the LTC4151CMS#PBF measure an external voltage, and how is it configured?
Yes, the LTC4151CMS#PBF measures an external voltage via the ADIN pin, supporting a 0–2.048 V input range with 12-bit resolution and 0.5 mV LSB. To use it, apply the external signal directly to ADIN and leave it unconnected (tied to GND) if unused. Input resistance is 2 MΩ, minimizing loading; input current is ±2 µA at 3 V, ensuring minimal impact on source impedance.
