Product details
Overview
TSC202IYST from STMicroelectronics is a high-side/low-side current sense amplifier with integrated open-drain comparator and 0.6 V internal reference, delivering 100 V/V fixed gain, -16 to +80 V common-mode input range, and ±3.5 % total output error over -40 to +125 °C - used in automotive battery monitoring and telecom power rail protection.
For engineers reviewing the TSC202IYST datasheet, TSC202IYST pinout, TSC202IYST application, or TSC202IYST equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualification, latchable comparator for overcurrent fault capture, SO8 package compatibility, and guaranteed performance across 2.7–18 V supply and wide common-mode voltage swing.
Technical Context
The TSC202 operates in three functional modes determined by input differential voltage (Vsense) and common-mode voltage (Vicm) relative to VCC: Mode 1 (Vicm > 40% VCC) activates amplifier A2; Mode 2 (Vicm < 40% VCC) activates amplifier A1; Mode 3 (Vsense < 20 mV) exhibits elevated offset due to transconductance degradation. Its topology avoids traditional instrumentation amplifier matching constraints while maintaining 100–120 dB CMRR.
Comparator functionality includes 586–625 mV threshold, 9 mV hysteresis, 0.3 µs response time, and active-low RESET with 1.1 V threshold and 2 MΩ internal pull-down. The open-drain CMPOUT supports pull-up to 2.7–18 V independent of VCC, enabling flexible fault signaling in mixed-voltage systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain | 100 V/V - sets full-scale output at 100 mV shunt drop = 10 V output, enabling precise low-value shunt use |
| Common-mode range | -16 V to +80 V - supports direct sensing on battery rails, 48 V telecom lines, and negative-ground industrial buses |
| Total output error | ±3.5 % max - includes gain error and input offset drift, specified over full -40 to +125 °C automotive temperature range |
| Supply voltage | 2.7 V to 18 V - powers from single Li-ion cell up to 12 V automotive system without external regulator |
| Comparator threshold | 586–625 mV - referenced to internal 0.6 V bandgap, allowing accurate overcurrent trip with external resistor divider |
| Quiescent current | 1.8 mA max - enables always-on current monitoring in power-constrained automotive ECU and base station modules |
| Bandwidth | 0.3 MHz - supports fast transient detection in motor phase current or DC-DC converter overcurrent events |
Pinout & Package
Supplied in SO8 package (8-pin small outline integrated circuit), surface-mount, RoHS-compliant, with standard 1.27 mm pitch and exposed pad thermal enhancement.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 VCC | Positive supply input | Accepts 2.7–18 V; powers both amplifier and comparator; decoupling capacitor required near pin |
| 2 OUT | Analog output | 100× amplified shunt voltage; rail-to-rail swing (VCC − 0.25 V / 65 mV) with 1.5 Ω output impedance |
| 3 CMPIN | Comparator inverting input | Connected to internal 0.6 V reference; external resistor divider sets overcurrent threshold |
| 4 GND | Analog ground return | Common reference for amplifier, comparator, and output stage; separate from power ground recommended |
| 5 RESET | Active-low comparator reset | Pulled low to clear latched fault; open or high = transparent operation; internal 2 MΩ pull-down |
| 6 CMPOUT | Open-drain comparator output | Sinks ≥2.35 mA; compatible with 2.7–18 V pull-up; requires external pull-up for logic-level signaling |
| 7 VIN− | Current sense amplifier negative input | Connects to shunt resistor low side; input bias current ±0.5–16 µA affects low-current accuracy |
| 8 VIN+ | Current sense amplifier positive input | Connects to shunt resistor high side; supports common-mode down to -16 V for reverse-polarity protection |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Grade 1 (-40 to +125 °C) qualification ensures reliability in automotive powertrain and body control modules |
| Latching comparator | Retains fault state after overcurrent event until RESET is asserted - eliminates need for external SR latch |
| Internal 0.6 V reference | Stable bandgap reference connected to CMPIN - removes external reference IC and reduces BOM count |
| Wide common-mode range | -16 V to +80 V enables bidirectional sensing on floating rails, battery disconnect monitoring, and 48 V PoE systems |
| Mode-adaptive architecture | Switches between A1/A2 input stages based on Vicm to maintain accuracy across supply and load variations |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage current sense amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX40056ASA+T | 200 V/V gain, 2.7–5.5 V supply only, no integrated comparator or reference | Requires external comparator and reference; suited for ultra-low-offset precision but lacks fault latching | Select when higher gain and lower offset (<±0.5 %) are critical, and system already provides comparator logic |
| INA282AIDR | 50 V/V gain, -14 to +80 V common-mode, no comparator, 1.1 mA quiescent current | Lower power and cost, but no fault detection capability - needs external MCU polling or comparator | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial monitoring where continuous analog output suffices and fault latching is handled elsewhere |
Compared with MAX40056ASA+T and INA282AIDR, TSC202IYST uniquely integrates latchable comparator and 0.6 V reference in a single SO8 package with AEC-Q100 qualification - reducing component count and enabling autonomous overcurrent protection without host intervention.

FAQ
What is the minimum shunt voltage required for accurate operation of TSC202IYST?
The TSC202IYST is characterized for Vsense ≥ 20 mV; below this, input transconductance degrades and output error increases significantly - e.g., up to 0.4 V output with 0 mV input in some conditions. For reliable measurement, design for ≥25 mV full-scale shunt drop.
Can TSC202IYST be used for bidirectional current sensing?
No - the TSC202IYST is unidirectional. Its input stage architecture and common-mode range support only positive current flow through the shunt (VIN+ more positive than VIN−). For bidirectional sensing, ST recommends the TSC210 or external level-shifting solutions.
How does the RESET pin behave when left unconnected?
When RESET is left open, its internal 2 MΩ pull-down holds it low, placing the comparator in reset state (CMPOUT = low). To enable normal comparator operation, RESET must be pulled high via ≥10 kΩ resistor to VCC or driven actively high.
Is the CMPOUT pin compatible with 3.3 V logic systems?
Yes - CMPOUT is open-drain and rated for 2.7–18 V pull-up. Connect a 3.3 V pull-up resistor (e.g., 10 kΩ) to interface directly with 3.3 V MCU GPIO; VOL remains ≤300 mV at 2.35 mA sink, ensuring solid logic-low recognition.
