Product details
Overview
ZDS1009TA from Zetex plc is a complementary current mirror IC designed for high-side current sensing and level translation in battery charge management systems. It features ±1.45 V to ±1.75 V input voltage range, 0.99–1.01 V transfer accuracy at 5 V supply, 4 mV output zero-offset voltage, and operates across –55°C to +150°C. It is used in single-cell Li-ion fast chargers to translate high-side sense resistor voltage to low-side referenced control signals.
For engineers reviewing the ZDS1009TA datasheet, ZDS1009TA pinout, ZDS1009TA application, or ZDS1009TA equivalent, key selection criteria include high-side sensing capability, temperature-stable current mirroring (±10 µA leakage at 30 V), breakdown voltage ratings up to 120 V (BVY1-X1), and SM-8 (SOT-223-8) package compatibility with PCB thermal management.
Technical Context
The ZDS1009TA implements a matched NPN/PNP transistor pair architecture enabling bidirectional current mirroring with inherent temperature tracking. Its dual-input, dual-output topology supports both sourcing and sinking configurations via four dedicated terminals (Y1, X1, E1–E4), allowing flexible integration into feedback loops of DC-DC chargers and motor controllers.
It performs level translation without external op-amps by directly referencing sensed voltage across a high-side shunt to ground-referenced control circuitry. Input voltage compliance is defined separately for Y1–E2/E3 and X1–E1/E4 paths, supporting asymmetric biasing critical for precision current monitoring in multi-cell battery systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Transfer Accuracy | 0.99–1.01 V at VCC = 5 V, R1=R3=R4=100 Ω - enables <1% gain error in closed-loop charger feedback |
| Zero-Offset Voltage | 4 mV - sets minimum resolvable current for sub-10 mA sensing applications |
| Input Voltage Range | ±1.45 V to ±1.75 V - accommodates typical 100 mΩ shunt drops up to ±175 mA |
| Breakdown Voltage (Y1–X1) | 120 V - supports high-voltage battery stacks and industrial power rails |
| Leakage Current (Y1) | 10 µA at VY1–E3 = 30 V - ensures stable operation under high common-mode voltage |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +150°C - qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial motor drive environments |
| Power Dissipation | 2 W at Tamb = 25°C on 2″² copper - defines thermal design margin for continuous 1 A operation |
Pinout & Package
The ZDS1009TA is housed in an SM-8 package - identical to SOT-223-8 - featuring exposed thermal pad and 8 leads in standard gull-wing configuration. Package dimensions: 6.5 mm × 3.5 mm × 7.0 mm (L × W × H), with 4.59 mm lead pitch (e1) and 1.53 mm center lead pitch (e2).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Y1 | High-side NPN collector / primary current input | Accepts high-voltage side of sense resistor; rated to 120 V breakdown |
| X1 | High-side PNP collector / secondary current input | Complements Y1 for bidirectional current sensing; rated to –30 V breakdown |
| E1, E2 | NPN emitter pair / low-side reference outputs | Provide mirrored, level-translated output referenced to system ground |
| E3, E4 | PNP emitter pair / auxiliary low-side outputs | Enable differential or dual-path feedback; support polarity reversal in motor control |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Temperature tracking | Matched NPN/PNP die structure minimizes drift over –55°C to +150°C, critical for Li-ion charger accuracy across ambient conditions |
| High-side sensing | Direct interface to shunt resistor placed between battery+ and load, eliminating need for isolated amplifiers or gate drivers |
| Four-terminal isolation | Separate Y1/X1 inputs and E1–E4 outputs prevent ground loop coupling in multi-rail systems |
| Compact implementation | SM-8 footprint replaces discrete transistor arrays and op-amp circuits, reducing BOM count and layout area by >60% |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side current mirror applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4080TASA+ | Integrated high-side current sense amplifier with 20 V common-mode range, fixed 20× gain, no discrete mirroring topology | Limited to ≤20 V systems; lacks bidirectional capability and 120 V breakdown | Select when gain stability and integrated reference outweigh need for ultra-high voltage tolerance |
| LT6105IMS8#TRPBF | High-side current sense amplifier with 60 V common-mode, rail-to-rail output, 125 kHz bandwidth | No complementary transistor architecture; lower voltage rating restricts use in >48 V battery systems | Prefer for wide-bandwidth analog feedback where precision offset (<50 µV) matters more than breakdown robustness |
Compared with MAX4080TASA+ and LT6105IMS8#TRPBF, the ZDS1009TA delivers unmatched 120 V Y1–X1 breakdown and true complementary mirroring-enabling direct integration into high-voltage battery stacks and bidirectional motor control without external level-shifting components.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current the ZDS1009TA can handle?
The ZDS1009TA supports 1 A continuous current across its E1–E4 and E2–E3 terminals, as specified in Absolute Maximum Ratings. This rating assumes operation within the –55°C to +150°C junction temperature range and proper PCB thermal management with ≥2 inch² copper area per the datasheet derating curve.
Does the ZDS1009TA require external resistors for basic operation?
Yes - the ZDS1009TA requires external resistors R1, R3, and R4 (typically 100 Ω each) to set gain and bias points, as shown in the Typical Application Circuit. R2 is the user-defined high-side sense resistor; its value determines full-scale current range and sensitivity (e.g., 100 mΩ yields 100 mV/A).
Can the ZDS1009TA be used for AC current sensing?
No - the ZDS1009TA is optimized for DC and low-frequency (<10 kHz) current sensing due to its bipolar transistor architecture and lack of specified AC bandwidth. Its frequency response rolls off above 100 kHz, making it unsuitable for switching-node current sampling or high-frequency motor phase current measurement.
Is the SM-8 package thermally enhanced compared to standard SOT-223?
Yes - the SM-8 package incorporates an exposed thermal pad aligned with the die attach area, enabling significantly better heat dissipation than standard 3-lead SOT-223. When soldered to ≥2 inch² of 2 oz copper, it achieves the rated 2 W power dissipation at 25°C ambient, as verified in Zetex's thermal characterization data.
