Product details
Overview
LTC6102CMS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a precision zero-drift high-side current sense amplifier in an 8-lead MSOP package. It operates from 4V to 60V supply, delivers ±10µV max input offset and ±50nV/°C drift, and provides 1µs step response for real-time load monitoring in battery management and industrial power systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC6102CMS8#PBF datasheet, LTC6102CMS8#PBF pinout, LTC6102CMS8#PBF application, or LTC6102CMS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its ground-referred current-output architecture, gain configurability via external RIN/ROUT, low-power disable mode (LTC6102-1 variants), and compatibility with shunt resistors down to 1mΩ for sub-mA resolution at high currents.
Technical Context
The LTC6102CMS8#PBF implements a precision current-output transconductance amplifier with internal feedback forcing –INS to match +IN potential. Its architecture converts differential sense voltage (VSENSE = V+IN – V–INS) into a proportional output current IOUT = VSENSE/RIN, referenced to V–, enabling accurate level-shifting from high common-mode voltages up to 60V.
It features a Kelvin-connected input structure with separate –INF (force) and –INS (sense) pins, minimizing parasitic resistance errors in high-current paths. The device supports configurable gain (200–4990) via external RIN and ROUT, maintains 130dB PSRR, and achieves 140kHz signal bandwidth at 200µA output load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | 4V to 60V - supports direct connection to 12V/24V/48V industrial and automotive bus rails without external regulators. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±10µV max - enables use of 1mΩ shunts for 10mA resolution at 10A full-scale while limiting offset-induced error to ≤0.1%. |
| Offset Drift | ±50nV/°C max - ensures <1µV total drift over –40°C to 85°C operating range, critical for stable battery SOC estimation. |
| Step Response | 1µs - allows detection of fast overcurrent events (e.g., motor stall, short-circuit) before damage occurs. |
| PSRR | 130dB min - rejects supply noise from switching regulators, preserving measurement integrity in noisy power environments. |
| Output Current | Up to 1mA - drives standard 10kΩ load resistors to generate 0–10V output signals compatible with most ADC inputs. |
| Operating Temp | 0°C to 70°C - specified temperature grade for commercial-grade industrial control and power supply applications. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic MSOP (3mm × 3mm footprint, 0.65mm pitch), exposed pad not present (DFN variant only). Thermal resistance θJA = 200°C/W.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (–INS) | Inverting input sense node | Kelvin-sense return; must be tied directly to shunt low-side terminal to avoid trace resistance error. |
| 2 (–INF) | Force input | Carries VSENSE/RIN current; connect RIN from V+ to this pin to set transconductance gain. |
| 3 (V–) | Negative supply | Ground reference for output current and internal circuitry; also serves as return for ROUT. |
| 4 (OUT) | Open-drain current output | Sinks IOUT = VSENSE/RIN; requires external ROUT to V– to generate voltage output VOUT = IOUT × ROUT. |
| 5 (V–) | Negative supply (duplicate) | Second V– connection for improved grounding; must be connected to same net as Pin 3. |
| 6 (VREG) | Internal regulated supply | Provides stable bias for internal circuitry; requires 0.1µF bypass capacitor to V+ (not for external loading). |
| 7 (V+) | Positive supply | Primary power input; draws 275–475µA quiescent current depending on supply voltage. |
| 8 (+IN) | Noninverting input | Connects to shunt high-side terminal; includes 5kΩ series resistor for transient protection and accidental open-circuit tolerance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision zero-drift architecture | Enables stable DC current measurement over temperature and time without calibration, critical for battery coulomb counting. |
| Kelvin input configuration | Separates force (–INF) and sense (–INS) paths to eliminate PCB trace resistance error, supporting accuracy <0.5% at 100A. |
| Configurable transconductance gain | RIN selection sets IOUT scaling (e.g., 10Ω → 100mA/V); eliminates need for precision op-amp gain stages. |
| High common-mode rejection | 130dB PSRR and >100dB CMRR ensure immunity to supply ripple and ground bounce in motor drive inverters. |
| Fast overload response | 1µs step response allows integration into hardware-based overcurrent shutdown loops with <2µs total latency. |

FAQ
What is the maximum common-mode voltage the LTC6102CMS8#PBF can handle?
The LTC6102CMS8#PBF supports a total supply voltage (V+ to V–) up to 70V absolute maximum, with input pins rated for operation up to V+ – 20V on +IN and V+ – 4V on –INF/–INS. This enables reliable high-side sensing on 48V and 60V bus systems. The LTC6102CMS8#PBF is not rated for 100V operation-that capability belongs to the LTC6102HV variant.
Does the LTC6102CMS8#PBF include a disable function?
No, the LTC6102CMS8#PBF does not include a disable function. That feature is exclusive to the LTC6102-1 variant (e.g., LTC6102CMS8-1#PBF), which adds an EN pin for low-power standby mode drawing ≤1µA. The LTC6102CMS8#PBF operates continuously whenever powered within its supply range.
Can the LTC6102CMS8#PBF drive a 10kΩ load resistor directly?
Yes, the LTC6102CMS8#PBF can drive a 10kΩ load resistor connected between OUT and V–. With its 1mA maximum output current, it delivers up to 10V output swing (1mA × 10kΩ), fully compatible with standard 0–10V ADC inputs. For higher loads, verify output compliance voltage versus supply per the datasheet's VOUT vs temperature curves.
What shunt resistor value is recommended for measuring 0–50A with the LTC6102CMS8#PBF?
For 0–50A full-scale with 10mV resolution (0.02% of FS), a 200µΩ shunt yields 10mV at 50A and keeps VSENSE well within the 2V maximum. Combined with RIN = 20Ω and ROUT = 10kΩ, this gives gain = 500 and 5V output at full scale. The LTC6102CMS8#PBF's low offset ensures <0.05A error at zero current, meeting typical industrial accuracy requirements.
Is the LTC6102CMS8#PBF RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the LTC6102CMS8#PBF is RoHS compliant and features a lead-free finish, as indicated by the "#PBF" suffix in its part number. It meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 and is qualified for standard reflow soldering profiles. The marking "LTCKJ" on the top surface confirms this specific MSOP package variant.
