Product details
Overview
TS1101-50EG6T from Silicon Labs is a bidirectional high-side current-sense amplifier with 50 V/V gain, 100 µV (max) input offset voltage, 0.6% (max) gain error, and 2–27 V input common-mode range. It delivers precision load-current measurement in battery-powered power management systems where direction detection and ultra-low supply current (0.68 µA) are critical.
For engineers reviewing the TS1101-50EG6T datasheet, TS1101-50EG6T pinout, TS1101-50EG6T application, or TS1101-50EG6T equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional SIGN output behavior, self-powered operation without external VDD (except for SIGN logic), 50 kHz internal differential low-pass filtering, and SOT23-6 package compatibility with Kelvin-sense PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The TS1101-50EG6T implements a fully differential input/output architecture with dual p-channel FETs (M1/M2) enabling true zero-crossing current-direction detection-no dead zone at ILOAD switchover. Its SIGN comparator provides rail-to-rail push-pull logic output referenced to external VDD applied at Pin 5.
Internally powered from the RS+ and RS– terminals, it draws only 0.68 µA total supply current while maintaining 120 dB CMRR across 2–27 V common-mode range. The 50 V/V gain is realized via matched ROUT (40 kΩ typ) and RGAIN (800 Ω typ) resistor ratio, with gain accuracy guaranteed by on-die trimming.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain | 50 V/V - fixed ratio; enables 60 mV full-scale VSENSE at 3.6 V RS+ for optimal dynamic range and noise immunity |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±100 µV (max) - ensures ≤0.2% error contribution at 50 mV VSENSE, critical for low-current battery monitoring |
| Gain Error | ±0.6% (max) - guarantees absolute current measurement accuracy without system-level calibration |
| Supply Current | 0.68 µA (typ) - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered smart chargers and remote sensors |
| Common-Mode Range | 2 V to 27 V - supports direct sensing in 3.3 V, 5 V, 12 V, and 24 V industrial and automotive subsystems |
| SIGN Propagation Delay | 0.4 ms (typ) at ±10 mV VSENSE - ensures fast, symmetric direction detection for motor control and bidirectional DC-DC converters |
| Internal Filter | 50 kHz 2nd-order differential low-pass - suppresses switching ripple without external RC components |
Pinout & Package
TS1101-50EG6T uses a 6-pin SOT23 package (JEDEC MO-178, Variation AA) with 0.95 mm pitch, 2.85 mm × 2.85 mm body, and 1.15 mm height. Pin 1 is marked with laser-etched "TADP" top-side marking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Analog ground reference; must connect directly to low-impedance analog ground plane near RSENSE |
| 2 | SIGN | Push-pull digital output indicating current direction: HIGH when VRS+ > VRS−, LOW when VRS− > VRS+ |
| 3 | OUT | Analog output voltage = 50 × (VRS+ − VRS−) or 50 × (VRS− − VRS+); drives ADC inputs or comparator thresholds |
| 4 | RS− | Load-side connection to external sense resistor; Kelvin-sense trace required for <1% error at high currents |
| 5 | VDD | External logic supply (1.25–5.5 V) for SIGN comparator; decoupling capacitor mandatory for noise immunity |
| 6 | RS+ | Power-side connection to external sense resistor; also supplies internal amplifier bias current |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional current-sense amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA219BIDR | 26 V max common-mode; requires external VDD; I2C digital output; no SIGN pin | Best for digital-output systems needing integrated ADC and bus communication | Choose INA219BIDR when system-level digital integration outweighs analog simplicity and ultra-low IQ |

FAQ
What is the function of the SIGN pin on TS1101-50EG6T?
The SIGN pin on TS1101-50EG6T is a push-pull digital output that indicates current direction: logic HIGH when VRS+ > VRS− (forward current), and logic LOW when VRS− > VRS+ (reverse current). It operates independently of the analog OUT pin and requires an external VDD supply connected to Pin 5. This feature enables immediate direction detection without post-processing in TS1101-50EG6T-based motor control or bidirectional power converter designs.
Does TS1101-50EG6T require an external power supply for its current-sense amplifier core?
No, TS1101-50EG6T does not require an external power supply for its current-sense amplifier core-it is self-powered from the RS+ and RS− terminals. However, the SIGN comparator requires an external logic supply (1.25–5.5 V) connected to Pin 5 (VDD). This dual-power architecture allows the analog sensing path to operate down to 2 V common-mode while keeping digital signaling compatible with standard logic levels in TS1101-50EG6T implementations.
What is the maximum common-mode voltage supported by TS1101-50EG6T?
TS1101-50EG6T supports a guaranteed input common-mode voltage range of +2 V to +27 V. This specification applies to both RS+ and RS− pins simultaneously and is validated across the full –40 °C to +105 °C operating temperature range. The device remains functional up to 27 V, making TS1101-50EG6T suitable for 12 V and 24 V industrial and automotive subsystems without level-shifting circuitry.
How does the internal 50 kHz low-pass filter in TS1101-50EG6T improve system performance?
The TS1101-50EG6T integrates a 50 kHz 2nd-order differential low-pass filter to suppress high-frequency noise-such as switching ripple from DC-DC converters or motor drive PWM-without requiring external RC components. This reduces PCB area, eliminates filter-induced offset/gain errors, and maintains signal integrity in noisy environments. The filter is inherent to TS1101-50EG6T's monolithic design and cannot be disabled or bypassed.
Can TS1101-50EG6T be used with a 3.3 V logic supply for the SIGN pin?
Yes, TS1101-50EG6T supports 3.3 V logic supply on the SIGN pin (Pin 5/VDD). The SIGN comparator is specified for operation from 1.25 V to 5.5 V, with output low voltage ≤0.2 V and output high voltage ≥VDD – 0.2 V at 35 µA sink/source. Using 3.3 V ensures clean interfacing with standard 3.3 V MCUs and logic families while maintaining noise margin in TS1101-50EG6T-based designs.
