Product details
Overview
TSC103IYPT from STMicroelectronics is a high-voltage, high-side current sense amplifier with independent supply and input common-mode voltage domains. It delivers pin-selectable gains of 20/25/50/100 V/V, operates from 2.7–5.5 V supply, supports 2.9–70 V common-mode range (single-supply), and consumes ≤360 µA quiescent current. It enables precision shunt-based current monitoring in automotive battery management and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the TSC103IYPT datasheet, TSC103IYPT pinout, TSC103IYPT application, or TSC103IYPT equivalent, key selection criteria include its wide common-mode survival range (−16 V to 75 V), buffered rail-to-rail output, ±500 µV input offset voltage (typ.), and TSSOP8 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The TSC103 implements a current-sense architecture where differential input voltage (Vp−Vm) is amplified via an internal transconductance stage and buffered to a ground-referenced output. Its dual-supply mode allows Vcc− to shift the common-mode operating window down to −2.1 V, enabling robust operation under reversed-battery and load-dump conditions.
Gain selection is implemented using two digital inputs (SEL1/SEL2) that configure internal resistor ratios and buffer gain stages-no external components required for gain setting. Input bias current remains below 15 nA across temperature, minimizing error in high-impedance sensing paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2.7–5.5 V single-supply; enables direct interface with 3.3 V or 5 V microcontrollers without level-shifting. |
| Common-Mode Range | 2.9–70 V (single-supply); supports monitoring of 12 V, 24 V, and 48 V bus systems with headroom for transients. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±500 µV (typ.); ensures <±1 mV output error at 20 V/V gain for 5 mV sense voltage-critical for low-current detection. |
| CMRR | 90–105 dB; rejects bus noise and ripple on high-side shunts, preserving accuracy in noisy automotive environments. |
| Quiescent Current | ≤360 µA; reduces system power budget in always-on battery monitoring circuits. |
| Gain Options | 20/25/50/100 V/V (pin-selectable); eliminates need for external gain-setting resistors and associated layout sensitivity. |
| Output Drive | ±10 mA sourcing/sinking; directly interfaces with ADC inputs or comparator thresholds without external buffering. |
Pinout & Package
The TSC103IYPT is housed in a compact, lead-free, RoHS-compliant TSSOP8 package (3.0 × 4.4 mm, 0.65 mm pitch), optimized for thermal performance (RthJA = 120 °C/W) and automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SEL2) | Digital gain select input | Configures second bit of 2-bit gain code; logic high/low sets 25 V/V, 50 V/V, or 100 V/V when combined with SEL1. |
| 2 (Vm) | Sense resistor return node | Connects to low-side of shunt; input leakage <1 µA minimizes measurement error in high-value Rsense designs. |
| 3 (SEL1) | Digital gain select input | Configures first bit of 2-bit gain code; determines full-scale output range together with SEL2. |
| 4 (Out) | Analog output | Buffered, ground-referenced voltage proportional to (Vp−Vm)×Av; drives 10 kΩ loads with <0.3 mV/mA load regulation. |
| 5 (Vcc+) | Positive supply rail | Accepts 2.7–5.5 V; independent of common-mode voltage-enables operation with floating high-side supplies. |
| 6 (Gnd) | Signal reference | Ground return for SEL pins and output buffer; must be tied to system ground-not shunt ground-to maintain isolation integrity. |
| 7 (Vcc−) | Negative supply rail | Enables dual-supply operation; when set to −5 V, extends common-mode range to −2.1 V to 65 V for reverse-polarity tolerance. |
| 8 (Vp) | Sense resistor high-side node | Connects to high-side of shunt; withstands up to +75 V transient (referred to Vcc−), supporting ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a compliance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Reversed-battery survivability | Withstands −16 V on Vp/Vm (referred to Vcc−), eliminating need for external protection diodes in automotive 12 V systems. |
| Load-dump immunity | Survives +75 V transients on Vp/Vm-meets ISO 16750-2 requirements for 24 V commercial vehicle applications. |
| Zero-drift-compatible architecture | Input offset drift ≤±20 µV/°C (max) ensures stable calibration over −40°C to +125°C ambient range. |
| Integrated gain selection | Eliminates external resistor networks and layout-dependent parasitics-improves production yield and long-term stability. |
| Low-noise output stage | 40 nV/√Hz input-referred noise at 1 kHz enables accurate resolution of sub-10 mA currents with 100 mΩ shunts. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side current sense amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA240A1QDRQ1 | Fixed 20 V/V gain; higher 120 V/V option available in A2 variant; 2.7–5.5 V supply; 80 V common-mode max. | Requires external gain-resistor network for non-standard gains; lacks dual-supply mode for negative common-mode extension. | Select for automotive AEC-Q100 Grade 1 applications requiring higher common-mode rejection (120 dB) but accepting fixed-gain trade-off. |
| MAX4080FASA+ | Fixed 5 V/V, 20 V/V, or 100 V/V options; 76 V common-mode; 2.7–76 V supply; no dual-supply configuration. | No Vcc− pin-cannot shift common-mode window downward; higher 76 V supply rating enables direct connection to 48 V rails. | Select when supply voltage may exceed 5.5 V and dual-supply operation is unnecessary; offers better ESD rating (4 kV HBM). |
Compared with INA240A1QDRQ1 and MAX4080FASA+, the TSC103IYPT uniquely combines pin-selectable gain, dual-supply configurability for negative common-mode support, and TSSOP8 footprint-making it optimal for space-constrained, multi-voltage automotive and industrial systems requiring flexible full-scale range tuning without redesign.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable voltage on the Vp and Vm pins relative to Vcc−?
The absolute maximum voltage on Vp and Vm is −16 V to +75 V referenced to Vcc−, as specified in Table 2 of the datasheet. This rating enables reliable operation during load-dump events (up to +75 V) and reversed-battery conditions (down to −16 V), critical for automotive 12 V and 24 V systems compliant with ISO 16750-2.
Can the TSC103IYPT operate with Vcc− disconnected and left floating?
No-Vcc− must be either tied to GND (for single-supply mode) or connected to a defined negative voltage (e.g., −5 V) for dual-supply operation. Leaving Vcc− floating violates absolute maximum ratings and risks latch-up or permanent damage due to undefined internal node biasing, as confirmed in Section 6 ("Maximum permissible voltages on pins") of the datasheet.
How does gain selection affect output voltage accuracy at low sense voltages?
At Vsense = 5 mV, total output voltage accuracy degrades to ±10% (max) for all gain settings due to fixed input offset voltage contribution dominating the signal. For example, with ±500 µV Vos and 20 V/V gain, the offset contributes ±10 mV error-equal to the full-scale signal. Accuracy improves to ±2.5% at Vsense = 50 mV, per Table 6.
Is the TSC103IYPT pin-compatible with earlier revisions like TSC103IDT?
Yes-the TSC103IYPT (TSSOP8) and TSC103IDT (SO8) share identical pinout, electrical specifications, and functional behavior. Both comply with the same datasheet (DocID16873 Rev 3) and differ only in package type; PCB layout must accommodate TSSOP8's smaller footprint and finer pitch (0.65 mm vs. 1.27 mm).
