Product details
Overview
TSC211IYCT from STMicroelectronics is a zero-drift, high-precision current sense amplifier optimized for bidirectional or unidirectional shunt-based current measurement across -0.3 V to 26 V common-mode voltage range. It delivers 500 V/V fixed gain, ±35 µV max offset voltage (25 °C), ±1% max gain error, and operates from 2.7 V to 26 V supply over -40 °C to 125 °C - enabling accurate sensing in battery chargers and telecom power rails.
For engineers reviewing the TSC211IYCT datasheet, TSC211IYCT pinout, TSC211IYCT application, or TSC211IYCT equivalent, key selection criteria include input offset drift (0.1 µV/°C), CMRR (105–140 dB), quiescent current (100 µA), and QFN10 (1.8 × 1.4 mm) package compatibility with space-constrained industrial and notebook power management layouts.
Technical Context
The TSC211IYCT employs a proprietary zero-drift chopper-stabilized architecture that actively corrects input offset and 1/f noise, achieving ±35 µV max RTI offset at 25 °C and 0.1 µV/°C max drift over -40 °C to 125 °C. Its input stage supports common-mode voltages exceeding the supply rail (up to 26 V while VCC = 5 V), enabled by internal bias current sourcing from the Vicm node.
Output common-mode level is programmable via the REF pin, allowing flexible unidirectional (GND- or VCC-referenced) or bidirectional (mid-rail referenced) operation. Gain is fixed at 500 V/V via on-die thin-film resistor network (R1/R2 = 1 MΩ / 2 kΩ), eliminating external gain-setting components and ensuring ±1% max gain error and 20 ppm/°C max gain drift.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain | 500 V/V - fixed precision amplification ratio; enables 2 mV shunt drop to produce 1 V output, reducing sensitivity to trace resistance and layout parasitics. |
| Offset voltage (max) | ±35 µV at 25 °C - ensures ≤0.007% full-scale error for 500 mV output swing, critical for sub-amp current resolution in battery fuel gauging. |
| CMRR | 105–140 dB - suppresses interference from high dv/dt power rails (e.g., buck converter switching nodes), preserving accuracy in noisy telecom equipment. |
| Supply range | 2.7 V to 26 V - supports direct connection to 3.3 V, 5 V, 12 V, and 24 V systems without LDO, simplifying power architecture in industrial PLCs. |
| Quiescent current | 100 µA - enables always-on current monitoring in low-power IoT edge nodes with multi-year battery life. |
| Operating temperature | -40 °C to 125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive modules and industrial motor drives where ambient thermal stress exceeds consumer-grade limits. |
| Bandwidth | 8 kHz - sufficient for DC–10 kHz current loop feedback in switched-mode power supplies and motor phase current sensing. |
Pinout & Package
Package: QFN10 (1.8 mm × 1.4 mm, 0.5 mm pitch, exposed thermal pad). Compact footprint supports high-density PCB layouts in notebook computers and telecom line cards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT) | Amplified output voltage | Delivers gain × (VIN+ − VIN−) + VREF; rail-to-rail swing (VCC − 0.05 V / 30 mV above GND) enables direct ADC interfacing. |
| 2, 3 (VIN+) | Non-inverting input | Connects to high-side or low-side shunt terminal; accepts common-mode voltage up to 26 V independent of VCC. |
| 4, 5 (VIN−) | Inverting input | Connects to opposite shunt terminal; differential input pair rejects common-mode noise and enables bidirectional sensing. |
| 6 (VCC) | Positive supply | Power rail (2.7–26 V); also powers internal bias circuits when Vicm > 2.5 V via current drawn from input common-mode node. |
| 7 (NC) | No connect | Internally unused; must be left floating, tied to GND, or tied to VCC per datasheet guidance - no electrical function. |
| 8 (REF) | Reference voltage input | Sets output common-mode level; determines unidirectional (GND/VCC) or bidirectional (mid-rail) operation mode. |
| 9 (GND) | Analog ground | Return path for internal circuitry; requires low-impedance connection to system ground plane to maintain CMRR and noise immunity. |
| 10 (NC) | No connect | Internally unused; same handling as Pin 7 - no routing or termination required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Zero-drift architecture | Eliminates 1/f noise and thermal drift; guarantees ±35 µV max offset and 0.1 µV/°C max drift - essential for stable long-term current monitoring in solar inverters. |
| Extended common-mode range | -0.3 V to +26 V input range enables direct high-side sensing on 24 V bus without level-shifting, reducing BOM count in industrial power supplies. |
| Programmable output common-mode | VREF-pin control allows GND-, VCC-, or mid-rail-referenced output - supports single-supply ADCs and bidirectional battery charge/discharge monitoring. |
| Low quiescent current | 100 µA consumption at 2.7 V enables integration into always-on subsystems (e.g., smart battery packs) without compromising runtime. |
| High PSRR & CMRR | ≥105 dB CMRR and ≥100 dB PSRR reject coupling from adjacent switching regulators and supply ripple - critical for precision in multi-rail telecom boards. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA240A1IDR | 500 V/V gain, ±10 µV offset (typ), 105 dB CMRR, SOIC-8 package | Higher precision offset but larger SOIC-8 footprint; lacks extended -0.3 V common-mode capability | Prefer for lab-grade test equipment where offset dominates error budget; avoid in high-density 24 V high-side sensing due to package size and Vicm limit. |
| MAX40056ATA+T | 500 V/V gain, ±50 µV offset (max), 120 dB CMRR, 8-pin WLP (1.6 × 1.6 mm) | Smaller WLP package but higher max offset; no REF pin - output fixed at VCC/2 | Prefer for ultra-compact wearable power monitors; avoid where programmable output common-mode or sub-35 µV offset is required. |

FAQ
What is the maximum common-mode voltage the TSC211IYCT can handle?
The TSC211IYCT supports a continuous common-mode input voltage range of -0.3 V to +26 V, independent of supply voltage - enabling direct high-side sensing on 24 V industrial buses and negative-rail monitoring in telecom systems without external level shifters or resistive dividers.
How does the REF pin affect output behavior?
The REF pin sets the output common-mode voltage: grounding it yields GND-referenced unidirectional output; connecting it to VCC yields VCC-referenced output; applying mid-rail voltage enables true bidirectional current sensing. This eliminates need for external op-amps or level-shifting networks in mixed-signal systems.
Can the TSC211IYCT operate with a 3.3 V supply?
Yes - the TSC211IYCT is fully specified from 2.7 V to 26 V supply. At 3.3 V, it maintains 500 V/V gain, ±35 µV max offset, and 105 dB min CMRR across -40 °C to 125 °C, making it suitable for low-voltage IoT edge nodes and portable medical devices requiring precision current telemetry.
Is the QFN10 package lead-free and RoHS-compliant?
Yes - the TSC211IYCT in QFN10 package (part number suffix "IYCT") is manufactured using lead-free solderable terminations and complies with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, with full material declarations available via ST's official product page.
