Product details
Overview
ZXCT1082E5TA from Diodes Incorporated is a precision high-side unipolar current monitor IC in SOT25 package, designed for non-invasive load current sensing without ground-plane disruption. It operates with 2.7V–60V supply and common-mode input range, delivers 200 µA/V transconductance, exhibits ±0.2 mV input offset voltage (typ), and draws only 0.6 µA quiescent current - enabling high-accuracy, low-error current measurement in automotive power distribution and industrial 24–28V rail systems.
For engineers reviewing the ZXCT1082E5TA datasheet, ZXCT1082E5TA pinout, ZXCT1082E5TA application, or ZXCT1082E5TA equivalent, key selection considerations include its 60V max operating voltage, three-resistor gain configuration (RG/RGT), AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, -40°C to +125°C operation, and current-output architecture optimized for high-common-mode, low-power sensing.
Technical Context
The ZXCT1082E5TA implements a high-side current sense architecture using an internal transconductance amplifier with externally set gain via RG and RGT resistors. Its input stage accepts common-mode voltages up to 60V while maintaining precise differential sensing across RSENSE, independent of VCC level.
It features a current-output interface (OUT pin) referenced to S−, enabling direct connection to high-impedance monitoring circuits or external transimpedance amplifiers. The device achieves 80 dB CMRR and PSRR over 0.1 Hz–100 kHz, with 500 kHz small-signal bandwidth at G = 25 and <5 µs 0.1% settling time - supporting dynamic load monitoring in real-time protection systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 60 V - supports direct connection to automotive battery rails and industrial 24/28 V systems without level-shifting. |
| Common-Mode Input Range | 2.7 V to 60 V - enables sensing on high-side of load without ground reference compromise. |
| Transconductance (GT) | 200 µA/V (typ) - defines output current per millivolt of sensed differential voltage (VSENSE). |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±0.2 mV (typ) - contributes ≤0.2% error at 100 mV VSENSE, critical for low-current accuracy. |
| Quiescent Current | 0.6 µA (typ) - minimizes system power overhead and self-heating-induced drift in battery-powered designs. |
| Bandwidth (-3dB) | 500 kHz at G = 25 - supports fast transient detection in overcurrent protection and motor control feedback loops. |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial ambient environments. |
Pinout & Package
SOT25 (5-pin SC-74A) package: compact 2.8 mm × 1.6 mm footprint with 0.95 mm pitch, optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in automotive ECUs and industrial controllers.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 OUT | Current output terminal | Delivers output current IOUT = GT × VSENSE; sinks current relative to S−, requires external load or transimpedance stage. |
| 2 GND | Analog ground reference | Provides return path for internal bias circuitry; must be connected to system ground with low-impedance trace. |
| 3 S+ | Positive current-sense input | Connects to VSUPPLY side of shunt resistor; tolerates up to 60 V common-mode voltage. |
| 4 S− | Negative current-sense input | Connects to VLOAD side of shunt resistor; defines differential sense node (VSENSE = VS+ − VS−). |
| 5 VCC | Analog supply input | Powers internal amplifier; independent of common-mode range - can be derived from local 3.3 V or 5 V rail. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High common-mode voltage tolerance | 60 V max - eliminates need for isolated amplifiers or level-shifters in 24/48 V systems. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 0.6 µA - reduces measurement error in low-power standby modes and extends battery life. |
| Configurable transconductance gain | Set via external RG and RGT resistors - enables optimization of sensitivity, bandwidth, and noise trade-offs. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | -40°C to +125°C operation with stress-tested reliability - suitable for automotive powertrain and body electronics. |
| High CMRR and PSRR | 80–100 dB over 0.1 Hz–100 kHz - rejects supply ripple and common-mode noise in noisy vehicle/bus environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side current monitoring applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4080TASA+ | Voltage-output (2.5 V/V fixed gain), 60 V common-mode, 125 µA IQ, SO8 package | Lacks external gain configuration; requires external op-amp for current-to-voltage conversion if higher gain needed | Preferred when fixed-ratio voltage output simplifies ADC interfacing and board space permits SO8 footprint |
| INA240A1QDRQ1 | Current-output (20 V/V fixed gain), 80 V common-mode, 2.4 mA IQ, SO8 package, integrated ESD protection | Higher quiescent current limits use in ultra-low-power sleep modes; wider common-mode supports 48 V systems | Chosen for automotive 48 V mild-hybrid systems where extended voltage range and AEC-Q100 Grade 0 compliance are mandatory |
Compared with MAX4080TASA+, ZXCT1082E5TA offers lower power (0.6 µA vs. 125 µA) and flexible gain tuning but requires external components. Against INA240A1QDRQ1, it trades higher voltage range and ESD robustness for 4× lower IQ and smaller SOT25 footprint - favoring cost-sensitive, space-constrained 12/24 V applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable differential input voltage (VSENSE) for ZXCT1082E5TA?
The ZXCT1082E5TA specifies a recommended operating VSENSE range of 0 V to 0.5 V, with absolute maximum differential input voltage of ±800 mV. Operation beyond 0.5 V risks nonlinear transconductance response and increased gain error, as confirmed in the DS32162 datasheet's electrical characteristics table under "VSENSE Differential Sense Input Voltage Range".
Can ZXCT1082E5TA operate with VCC lower than the common-mode input voltage?
Yes - ZXCT1082E5TA supports independent supply and common-mode voltage domains. VCC may be as low as 2.7 V while sensing inputs up to 60 V (e.g., VCC = 3.3 V, VS+ = 48 V). This decoupling is explicitly stated in the "Features" section and validated in Recommended Operating Conditions (VIN and VCC ranges are specified separately).
How is gain configured on ZXCT1082E5TA, and what resistor values are typical?
Gain is set by two external resistors: RG (between OUT and S−) and RGT (between S+ and S−). For nominal 200 µA/V transconductance, typical values are RG = 125 kΩ and RGT = 5 kΩ, as used in all datasheet test conditions. Gain scales linearly with RG/RGT ratio, allowing customization from ~40 µA/V to >1 mA/V depending on application SNR and bandwidth needs.
Is ZXCT1082E5TA pin-compatible with other members of the ZXCT108x family?
Yes - all ZXCT1082/83/84/85/86/87 variants share identical SOT25 pinout and footprint. However, functional differences exist: ZXCT1082/83 are current-output with external gain resistors; ZXCT1084/85/86/87 are voltage-output with fixed gains (25× or 50×). Direct substitution requires verifying output type, gain, and voltage rating compatibility.
