Product details
Overview
TSC102IDT from STMicroelectronics is a high-side current sense amplifier with integrated signal conditioning amplifier, designed for precision shunt-based current monitoring in systems where input common-mode voltage exceeds supply rail. It features 20 V/V fixed gain, ±2.3 mV input offset voltage, -16 V to 60 V input survival range, and operates from -40 °C to 125 °C - enabling use in automotive battery monitoring and DC motor control.
For engineers reviewing the TSC102IDT datasheet, TSC102IDT pinout, TSC102IDT application, or TSC102IDT equivalent, key selection criteria include its independent VCM/VCC operation, 420 µA max supply current, 800 kHz bandwidth, 4 kV HBM ESD rating on VP/VM, and dual-amplifier architecture supporting configurable signal conditioning.
Technical Context
The TSC102IDT integrates two functionally distinct amplifiers: a high-voltage current sensing stage (VP/VM inputs, A1 output) with 2.8–30 V operating common-mode range and 90 dB DC CMRR, plus a fully accessible signal conditioning amplifier (A2/A3/Out) with rail-to-rail input, 1 MHz GBP, and ±4.5 mV input offset. Both stages share the same 3.5–5.5 V supply but operate independently.
Its architecture enables direct high-side sensing without level-shifting, while the second amplifier allows real-time gain adjustment, filtering, overcurrent detection, or low-pass response - all without external op-amps. Input pins withstand reversed battery (-16 V) and load-dump (60 V) transients, and the device meets automotive-grade reliability per AEC-Q100.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain | 20 V/V fixed - eliminates external gain-setting resistors for basic current-to-voltage conversion. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±2.3 mV max - limits minimum detectable sense voltage to ~115 µV at full scale. |
| Common-Mode Range | 2.8 V to 30 V - supports high-side sensing in 12 V/24 V/36 V automotive and industrial rails. |
| Supply Current | 420 µA max - enables always-on monitoring in battery-powered systems with minimal quiescent drain. |
| ESD Rating | 4 kV HBM on VP/VM - provides robustness against electrostatic discharge in assembly and field environments. |
| Operating Temp | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial power-conversion applications. |
| Bandwidth | 800 kHz - supports fast transient current detection in motor control and switching power supplies. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SO8 (Small Outline Integrated Circuit, 150 mil width), RoHS-compliant, ECOPACK®2.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VP) | High-side sense input | Connects to shunt resistor's high-potential side; withstands up to 60 V during load dump. |
| 2 (Out) | Signal conditioning amplifier output | Ground-referenced output; drives ADC or comparator directly; supports ±10 mA load. |
| 3 (Gnd) | Power ground reference | System ground return for supply and output stage; separate from sense path ground. |
| 4 (A1) | Current sense amplifier output | Internal node between sensing and conditioning stages; accessible for intermediate signal routing. |
| 5 (A2) | Conditioning amp non-inverting input | Configurable gain/filter point; used with A3 to set closed-loop behavior of second amplifier. |
| 6 (A3) | Conditioning amp inverting input | Feedback node for configuring buffer, inverter, or active filter topology with A2 and Out. |
| 7 (VM) | Low-side sense input | Connects to shunt resistor's low-potential side; survives -16 V reversed-battery condition. |
| 8 (VCC) | Positive supply | 3.5–5.5 V logic-compatible supply; independent of VP/VM common-mode voltage. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Independent VCM/VCC | Enables high-side sensing at 30 V while powered from 5 V - no isolated supply or level shifters needed. |
| Reversed-battery tolerance | VP/VM survive -16 V - protects against battery misconnection in automotive modules. |
| Integrated dual-amplifier topology | Eliminates need for external op-amp in signal conditioning - reduces BOM count and PCB area. |
| 4 kV HBM ESD on sense inputs | Meets IEC 61000-4-2 system-level ESD immunity requirements without external protection. |
| Low quiescent current | 420 µA max enables continuous monitoring in energy-sensitive applications like UPS and solar charge controllers. |
Applications
| Automotive Battery Monitoring | DC Motor Current Control |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Real-time monitoring of starter battery and auxiliary circuit currents in 12 V/24 V vehicles, including start-stop systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side current sense amplifier translating shunt voltage into ground-referenced analog output for MCU ADC sampling. Use Value: Survives load-dump (60 V) and reversed-battery (-16 V) events per ISO 7637-2, ensuring reliable operation without external protection diodes. | Use Scenario: Closed-loop current regulation in brushed or BLDC motor drivers for industrial actuators and HVAC blowers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary current feedback element feeding analog signal to PWM controller or microcontroller for torque/current limiting. Use Value: 800 kHz bandwidth captures rapid current transients during commutation; 20 V/V gain simplifies scaling to 100 mV/A shunt design. |
| Photovoltaic String Monitoring | Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) |
Use Scenario: Per-string current measurement in multi-string solar inverters to detect partial shading or panel failure. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side current sensor placed between PV string and MPPT converter input, referenced to floating string voltage. Use Value: 30 V common-mode range accommodates up to 25 V string voltage headroom above bus; low 420 µA ICC extends daytime monitoring runtime. | Use Scenario: Input/output current supervision in line-interactive and online UPS systems for overload and battery charge/discharge management. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-role amplifier: first stage measures DC link current; second stage implements overcurrent latch or analog-to-digital scaling. Use Value: Integrated signal conditioning enables fast overcurrent shutdown (<1 µs propagation via comparator interface) without adding discrete components. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA240A1DR | Higher 80 V common-mode range, 120 V survival; 20 V/V gain; lower 50 µV offset but higher 1.8 mA ICC. | Better suited for 48 V+ industrial systems; less optimal for ultra-low-power battery monitoring due to 4× higher supply current. | Select when >30 V common-mode or >60 V survival is required; avoid if <500 µA ICC budget is critical. |
| TSC101IDT | Single-stage high-side amplifier only (no signal conditioning amp); identical package, pinout, and 20 V/V gain; 3.5–5.5 V supply. | Lacks configurable output stage - requires external op-amp for gain adjustment or filtering. | Select when only basic current-to-voltage conversion is needed and board space allows external signal conditioning. |
Compared with INA240A1DR, TSC102IDT offers lower power and integrated signal conditioning but narrower common-mode range; versus TSC101IDT, it adds design flexibility at the cost of slightly higher complexity and identical footprint.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable differential input voltage (VP – VM) for the TSC102IDT?
The absolute maximum differential input voltage is ±20 V, as specified in Table 2 of the datasheet. Exceeding this value risks permanent damage to the internal current-sense amplifier input stage, regardless of common-mode voltage level or operating temperature.
Can the signal conditioning amplifier be used independently of the current sensing stage?
Yes - the A2, A3, and Out pins form a fully functional general-purpose op-amp with rail-to-rail input, 1 MHz GBP, and ±4.5 mV input offset. It operates independently of VP/VM and A1, allowing standalone use for sensor buffering, filtering, or comparator interfacing.
Does the TSC102IDT require external compensation capacitors for stability?
No external compensation is required for unity-gain stable operation of the signal conditioning amplifier. The device is internally compensated for loads up to 100 pF; for capacitive loads >100 pF, a series resistor (≥10 Ω) between Out and the load is recommended to maintain phase margin.
How does the TSC102IDT handle reversed-battery conditions?
The VP and VM pins are rated for -16 V relative to GND, enabling survival during battery misconnection in automotive systems. This is achieved via internal clamping structures - no external Schottky diodes are needed for basic reversed-battery protection.
