Product details
Overview
TSC1021BIPT from STMicroelectronics is a high-side current sense amplifier with fixed 50 V/V gain, operating over 2.8 V to 30 V common-mode input range independent of 3.5–5.5 V supply, ±2.3 mV max input offset (−40 °C to 125 °C), ±2.5 % max total output error, and EMI filtering-used in automotive battery monitoring and industrial SMPS current sensing.
For engineers reviewing the TSC1021BIPT datasheet, TSC1021BIPT pinout, TSC1021BIPT application, or TSC1021BIPT equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications including common-mode survival up to −32 V/60 V, dVos/dT = 8 µV/°C, 800 kHz bandwidth, 7 µs settling time, and TSSOP8 package compatibility for space-constrained high-reliability designs.
Technical Context
The TSC1021BIPT implements a precision current-sense architecture with rail-to-rail output buffer and internal gain-setting resistors for 50 V/V operation. Its input stage withstands reversed-battery (−32 V) and load-dump (60 V) transients while maintaining accuracy across −40 °C to 125 °C.
It achieves 90–105 dB DC CMR and 80–95 dB SVR, enabling stable measurement in noisy automotive and telecom power rails. The device draws ≤300 µA supply current and features 50 nV/√Hz input noise at 1 kHz, supporting accurate low-current detection down to 10 mV sense voltage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain | Fixed 50 V/V-enables direct scaling of 20 mV shunt drop to 1 V output for ADC interfacing without external gain stages. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±2.3 mV max (−40 °C to 125 °C)-limits minimum resolvable current error to ~46 µA on 50 mΩ shunt. |
| Common-Mode Range | 2.8 V to 30 V independent of VCC-allows high-side sensing in 24 V industrial systems powered by 5 V logic rails. |
| Total Output Error | ±2.5 % max (−40 °C to 125 °C)-guarantees <±12.5 mV absolute error at 500 mV full-scale output. |
| Supply Current | ≤300 µA-supports always-on battery monitoring with sub-1.5 mW power budget at 5 V. |
| Bandwidth | 800 kHz-captures fast transient currents in switch-mode power supplies without phase lag distortion. |
| Settling Time | 7 µs to 1 %-ensures accurate pulse-current sampling in digital power control loops with >100 kHz update rates. |
Pinout & Package
Housed in a compact 3 mm × 4.4 mm TSSOP8 package with 0.65 mm pitch, the TSC1021BIPT supports automated assembly and thermal dissipation up to 120 °C/W junction-to-ambient.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Vm) | Analog input (low-side shunt node) | Current exits shunt here; referenced to GND for differential measurement-must be routed away from noisy ground returns. |
| 3 (Gnd) | Power supply reference | Primary ground return for VCC and output buffer; requires dedicated low-impedance path to system GND plane. |
| 4 (Out) | Analog output | Buffered, low-impedance voltage output (1 kΩ typical); drives ADC inputs or op-amp stages directly without external buffering. |
| 6 (VCC) | Positive supply | 3.5–5.5 V logic-compatible supply; decoupling capacitor (100 nF) required within 2 mm of pin for EMI immunity. |
| 8 (Vp) | Analog input (high-side shunt node) | Current enters shunt here; exposed to full common-mode voltage-requires high-voltage PCB clearance (>0.3 mm) per 30 V rating. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Reversed-battery protection | Withstands −32 V on Vp/Vm pins-eliminates need for external series diodes in automotive 12 V battery circuits. |
| Load-dump survival | Operates up to 60 V common-mode-meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a requirements without external clamping. |
| EMI filtering | Integrated RF rejection network-reduces sensitivity to GSM/DC-DC switching noise without adding external RC filters. |
| Low temperature drift | dVos/dT = 8 µV/°C-limits offset shift to ±0.64 mV over 80 °C ambient swing, preserving calibration stability. |
| Output buffer | Drives ≥10 kΩ loads with <0.1 % gain error-enables direct connection to SAR ADCs without signal degradation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side current sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA240A1IDR | 20 V/V gain, 85 dB CMR, 2.7–5.5 V supply, SOIC-8 package | Lacks reversed-battery (−32 V) and load-dump (60 V) ratings; requires external protection for automotive use | Select when cost-sensitive industrial designs tolerate lower transient immunity and require wider supply flexibility. |
| TSC103IPT | 70 V max common-mode operating range, same 50 V/V gain, TSSOP8, −40 °C to 125 °C | Extends high-side sensing to 48 V telecom and 60 V EV charging systems beyond TSC1021BIPT's 30 V limit | Select when measuring currents in >30 V bus systems where TSC1021BIPT's 30 V common-mode ceiling is insufficient. |
Compared with INA240A1IDR and TSC103IPT, the TSC1021BIPT offers optimal balance of automotive-grade ruggedness (−32 V/60 V), precision (±2.3 mV offset), and compact TSSOP8 footprint-making it preferred for space-constrained 12/24 V vehicle subsystems requiring AEC-Q100-aligned performance without over-spec'ing voltage range.

FAQ
What is the maximum common-mode voltage the TSC1021BIPT can withstand during normal operation?
The TSC1021BIPT operates continuously with input common-mode voltages from 2.8 V to 30 V, independent of its 3.5–5.5 V supply voltage. This allows accurate high-side current sensing in 24 V industrial buses or 12 V automotive systems-even when the shunt is placed between battery positive and load-without requiring level-shifting circuitry or isolated amplifiers.
Does the TSC1021BIPT require external gain-setting resistors?
No. The TSC1021BIPT integrates factory-trimmed resistors to provide a fixed 50 V/V gain-confirmed by the "B" suffix in the part number (TSC1021BIPT). This eliminates gain error from external resistor tolerance and temperature drift, reduces PCB area, and improves long-term accuracy stability versus discrete resistor-based configurations.
How does the TSC1021BIPT handle electromagnetic interference in automotive environments?
The TSC1021BIPT incorporates on-chip EMI filtering optimized for frequencies up to 1 GHz, validated per ISO 11452-4 bulk current injection testing. Combined with 90–105 dB DC CMR and 80–95 dB SVR, this suppresses noise coupling from alternators, ignition systems, and DC-DC converters-enabling reliable operation without external RC filters or ferrite beads in most automotive PCB layouts.
Can the TSC1021BIPT be used with a 3.3 V microcontroller ADC?
Yes. With 50 V/V gain and a typical 50 mV full-scale shunt voltage, the TSC1021BIPT outputs 2.5 V-well within the 0–3.3 V input range of most 3.3 V ADCs. Its buffered output drives 10 kΩ loads with <0.1 % gain error, and its 7 µs settling time supports sampling rates up to ~140 kHz, making it compatible with standard microcontroller ADC acquisition sequences without external signal conditioning.
