Product details
Overview
TS1103-50EG6T from Silicon Laboratories is a bidirectional high-side current-sense amplifier with 50 V/V fixed gain, 1 μA supply current, ±200 μV input offset voltage (max), 0.6% gain error (max), and 2 V to 27 V input common-mode range - designed for precision battery-current monitoring in smart chargers and portable power management systems.
For engineers reviewing the TS1103-50EG6T datasheet, TS1103-50EG6T pinout, TS1103-50EG6T application, or TS1103-50EG6T equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low quiescent current, guaranteed bidirectional sensing with SIGN comparator output, SOT23-6 package constraints, and compatibility with low-voltage logic supplies down to 1.25 V.
Technical Context
The TS1103-50EG6T implements a fully differential, self-powered architecture that draws operating current directly from the sensed rail (RS+ and RS−), eliminating need for separate VDD for the amplifier core. Its internal p-channel FET pair (M1/M2) enables symmetrical bidirectional operation without dead-zone at zero-crossing.
It integrates a 50 kHz 2nd-order differential low-pass filter to suppress high-frequency noise from switching regulators, and features a push-pull SIGN comparator with propagation delay as low as 0.4 ms at ±10 mV sense voltage - enabling accurate real-time direction detection of load current in battery charge/discharge cycles.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain | 50 V/V - sets output scaling: 50 mV output per 1 mV sense voltage across RSENSE |
| Supply Current | 1.0 μA max - enables multi-year operation from coin-cell or energy-harvesting sources |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±200 μV max - limits minimum resolvable current to ~2 mA with 100 mΩ sense resistor |
| Common-Mode Range | +2 V to +27 V - supports direct sensing on Li-ion battery packs, 12 V rails, and USB PD lines |
| Gain Error | ±0.6% max - contributes ≤0.6% full-scale error independent of temperature or supply variation |
| Output Settling Time | 2.2 ms to 1% - ensures stable readings before ADC sampling in microcontroller-based power monitors |
| SIGN Propagation Delay | 0.4 ms at ±10 mV - provides timely current-direction flag for fast charge termination or protection logic |
Pinout & Package
TS1103-50EG6T is housed in a 6-pin SOT23 package (JEDEC MO-178 AB, EIAJ SC74A compliant), with 1.50–1.75 mm body width, 0.95 mm height, and 0.60–0.80 mm lead pitch - optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in handheld devices.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - GND | Analog ground reference | Must connect to low-impedance analog ground plane; serves as return for SIGN output and OUT stage |
| 2 - SIGN | Digital direction indicator | Push-pull logic output: HIGH when VRS+ > VRS− (load sourcing), LOW when VRS− > VRS+ (load sinking) |
| 3 - OUT | Analog current magnitude output | Voltage output proportional to |VRS+ − VRS−| × 50; ratiometric to sense resistor value |
| 4 - RS− | Sense resistor load-side terminal | Non-inverting input node; connects to low side of external shunt; Kelvin connection recommended |
| 5 - VDD | SIGN comparator supply | Accepts 1.25–5.5 V logic supply; powers only SIGN circuit - amplifier core is self-powered |
| 6 - RS+ | Sense resistor power-side terminal | Inverting input node; connects to high side of external shunt; must withstand up to +27 V common-mode |
Key Features

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 | I²C digital output; 10-bit ADC built-in; 2.7–5.5 V supply; no SIGN output; 25 μA typical supply current | Requires microcontroller I²C interface; lacks native direction flag; better for host-controlled systems with firmware flexibility | Choose INA219BIDR when digital bus integration and onboard ADC reduce BOM count, accepting higher quiescent current. |
| MAX40056AUT+T | Single-supply operation only; unidirectional; 1.5 μA supply current; 100 V/V gain option only; no SIGN output | Not suitable for true bidirectional detection; requires external comparator for direction sensing | Choose MAX40056AUT+T only for unidirectional high-side sensing where direction is known or irrelevant. |
Compared with TS1103-50EG6T, the INA219BIDR trades ultra-low IQ and hardware SIGN output for integrated digitization and bus control, while the MAX40056AUT+T sacrifices bidirectionality and direction flagging to achieve slightly lower cost in unidirectional applications - making TS1103-50EG6T uniquely suited for autonomous, low-power, direction-aware analog current monitoring.

FAQ
What is the maximum common-mode voltage the TS1103-50EG6T can handle?
The TS1103-50EG6T supports a guaranteed input common-mode voltage range of +2 V to +27 V. Absolute maximum rating for RS+ and RS− pins is −0.3 V to +27 V relative to GND. This allows direct high-side sensing on 24 V industrial rails and multi-cell Li-ion battery stacks without level-shifting circuitry. The TS1103-50EG6T maintains specified gain accuracy and offset performance across this full range.
Does the TS1103-50EG6T require an external power supply for its amplifier core?
No - the TS1103-50EG6T amplifier core is self-powered from the sensed voltage across RS+ and RS−, drawing only 1 μA total supply current from those terminals. Only the SIGN comparator requires an external VDD supply (1.25–5.5 V). This architecture enables the TS1103-50EG6T to operate with no dedicated VDD connection for the analog path, simplifying design in single-rail systems.
Can the TS1103-50EG6T accurately detect zero-crossing current direction?
Yes - the TS1103-50EG6T features a symmetric SIGN comparator with no dead zone at ILOAD = 0 A. Its design ensures monotonic, continuous transfer characteristic across zero sense voltage, verified by Figure 1 in the datasheet. This enables reliable detection of charge-to-discharge transitions in battery systems without hysteresis-induced ambiguity - a key differentiator of the TS1103-50EG6T versus many competing amplifiers.
What is the purpose of the internal 50 kHz differential low-pass filter in the TS1103-50EG6T?
The internal 2nd-order differential low-pass filter suppresses high-frequency noise (e.g., switching ripple from DC/DC converters) before it reaches the amplifier core, preventing rectification artifacts and output errors. Unlike external RC filters, it introduces no additional offset or gain error - preserving the TS1103-50EG6T's ±200 μV VOS and ±0.6% gain error specifications. This eliminates need for external filtering components in noisy power management environments.
How does the TS1103-50EG6T's gain setting differ from programmable current-sense amplifiers?
The TS1103-50EG6T uses factory-trimmed internal resistors (RGAIN = 200 Ω, ROUT = 10 kΩ) to fix gain at exactly 50 V/V - no external resistors or configuration pins are needed. This eliminates layout sensitivity, resistor tolerance errors, and temperature drift associated with external gain networks. The TS1103-50EG6T achieves ±0.6% gain error over temperature without calibration, unlike programmable alternatives that require trimming or digital compensation.
