Product details
Overview
TSC2010IDT from STMicroelectronics is a precision bidirectional current sense amplifier with 20 V/V fixed gain, -20 to +70 V wide common-mode input range, ±200 µV max offset voltage, and operation from 2.7–5.5 V supply. It enables high-accuracy shunt-based current monitoring in high-side or low-side configurations for industrial motor control feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the TSC2010IDT datasheet, TSC2010IDT pinout, TSC2010IDT application, or TSC2010IDT equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20 V/V gain accuracy (±0.3%), 5 µV/°C offset drift, SO8 package thermal resistance (125 °C/W), and shutdown quiescent current of 20 µA - all critical for battery-powered instrumentation and overcurrent protection circuits.
Technical Context
The TSC2010IDT employs a precision current-sense architecture with dual reference inputs (VREF1/VREF2) enabling ratiometric output offset adjustment and bidirectional sensing capability. Its input stage operates robustly across -20 V to +70 V common-mode voltage independent of supply rail, supported by CMR ≥85 dB (DC) and PSRR ≥75 dB.
It features active-high shutdown with 5 µs turn-off time and 8 µs turn-on time (VCC = 5 V), integrated output drive capable of ±30 mA sink/source, and stable operation with capacitive loads up to 680 pF - making it suitable for noisy industrial environments with long trace routing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain | 20 V/V fixed - sets 120 mV full-scale input to 2.4 V output at VCC = 5 V, enabling direct ADC interfacing without scaling resistors. |
| Offset Voltage | ±200 µV max (RTI) - contributes ≤0.17% error at 120 mV sense range, critical for sub-1% current measurement accuracy. |
| Common-Mode Range | -20 V to +70 V - supports direct sensing on high-side bus rails (e.g., 48 V telecom or 60 V EV subsystems) without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7–5.5 V - compatible with both 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V legacy systems, simplifying mixed-voltage board design. |
| Bandwidth | 650 kHz typical (-3 dB, RL = 10 kΩ, CL = 100 pF) - sufficient for PWM-based motor current sampling at ≤20 kHz switching frequencies. |
| Quiescent Current | 2.3 mA active / 20 µA shutdown - enables ultra-low-power wake-on-current-detection modes in energy-sensitive applications. |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial PLC environments without derating. |
Pinout & Package
Supplied in SO8 package (5.0 × 4.0 × 1.25 mm, 125 °C/W θJ-A), with exposed pad for thermal enhancement. Pinout optimized for noise immunity: IN+ and IN- placed adjacent with guard ring-compatible spacing; VREF1/VREF2 isolated from power pins.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 IN- | Negative current sense input | Connects to shunt resistor low-side; accepts common-mode down to -20 V - enables true bidirectional sensing below ground. |
| 2 GND | Analog ground reference | Must be star-connected to shunt return and VREF network to avoid ground bounce errors in high-dI/dt systems. |
| 3 VREF2 | Secondary reference voltage input | Used with VREF1 to set output zero point; applying VCC/2 yields symmetric ±2.5 V output swing for bidirectional current. |
| 4 SHDN | Active-high shutdown control | Pulling high disables output stage and reduces ICC to 20 µA; requires clean logic edge to avoid false triggering during ESD events. |
| 5 OUT | Amplified current-sense output | Capable of driving 10 kΩ loads directly; output swing limited to VCC – 15 mV (high) and 26 mV (low) at 0.2 mA load. |
| 6 VCC | Positive supply input | Decoupling capacitor (100 nF X7R) required within 5 mm; sensitive to ripple - PSRR drops to 75 dB above 10 kHz. |
| 7 VREF1 | Primary reference voltage input | Paired with VREF2 to define output offset; parallel connection achieves 0.1% ratiometric accuracy for supply-independent calibration. |
| 8 IN+ | Positive current sense input | Connects to shunt resistor high-side; tolerates +70 V common-mode - eliminates need for external attenuators in 48 V systems. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional sensing with ratiometric offset | VREF1/VREF2 inputs allow precise zero-point setting independent of VCC tolerance - eliminates calibration drift in varying supply conditions. |
| High common-mode rejection | ≥85 dB CMR across -20 V to +70 V range ensures <0.02% error contribution from bus voltage transients in motor phase-leg monitoring. |
| Low temperature drift | 5 µV/°C max offset drift limits total error to <1.2 mV over -40 °C to +125 °C - critical for uncooled industrial enclosures. |
| Stable capacitive drive | Specified performance maintained with up to 680 pF load capacitance - accommodates long PCB traces or scope probe connections without oscillation. |
| Fast shutdown recovery | 8 µs turn-on time (VCC = 5 V) enables cycle-by-cycle current limiting in digital power controllers with ≤125 kHz PWM rates. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current sense amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA240A1IDR | 20 V/V gain, wider common-mode (-4 to +80 V), higher bandwidth (1.1 MHz), but 50 µV offset (typ) vs. TSC2010's 200 µV (max). | Preferred for high-speed motor control where bandwidth >800 kHz is required; less suited for ultra-low-drift DC monitoring. | Select INA240A1IDR when system-level bandwidth dominates offset drift requirements, especially in servo drives. |
| MAX40056ASA+ | 20 V/V gain, -5 to +65 V common-mode, lower quiescent current (15 µA shutdown), but only SO8 package - no MiniSO8 option. | Better for space-constrained battery-powered devices needing minimal sleep current; lacks TSC2010's extended negative common-mode. | Choose MAX40056ASA+ for portable test equipment requiring lowest possible shutdown current and compact layout. |
Compared with INA240A1IDR and MAX40056ASA+, the TSC2010IDT uniquely balances extended -20 V common-mode capability, guaranteed ±200 µV offset, and SO8/MiniSO8 dual-package availability - making it optimal for industrial systems requiring both negative-rail sensing and production scalability.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable differential input voltage for the TSC2010IDT?
The absolute maximum differential voltage between IN+ and IN- is 7 V, per Table 2 in DS13057 Rev 8. Exceeding this risks permanent damage to the input ESD structure. For standard operation, the specified Vsense operating range is 122.4–123.6 mV (at VCC = 2.7 V) to maintain ≤0.3% gain error.
Can the TSC2010IDT be used with a single-ended reference instead of dual VREF1/VREF2?
Yes - tying VREF1 and VREF2 together to a single voltage (e.g., 0 V for unidirectional mode or VCC/2 for bidirectional) is explicitly supported. The datasheet confirms ratiometric accuracy of 0.1% when both pins are driven in parallel, and Figure 18–19 validate unidirectional/bidirectional transfer functions under this configuration.
Does the TSC2010IDT require external compensation for stability?
No external compensation is required. The device is internally compensated for unity-gain stability with capacitive loads up to 680 pF, as verified in Figures 28–30 and confirmed in the "Dynamic performances" section. Layout best practices (short IN+/IN- traces, local VCC decoupling) are sufficient for stable operation.
How does the TSC2010IDT handle common-mode transients during motor commutation?
It recovers from 50 V common-mode steps in <2 µs (Figure 44), with <10 mV output perturbation. This is enabled by proprietary input stage topology and 120 dB CMRR at DC, allowing reliable current sampling even during fast IGBT switching events in 3-phase inverters.
