Product details
Overview
ZXCT1084E5TA from Diodes Incorporated is a precision high-side current monitor IC with fixed 25× voltage gain, 60V max common-mode input range (2.7V to 60V), ±0.2mV input offset voltage (typ), 0.6µA quiescent current, and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification - designed for accurate load current sensing in automotive power distribution and industrial 24–28V rail systems without ground-plane disruption.
For engineers reviewing the ZXCT1084E5TA datasheet, ZXCT1084E5TA pinout, ZXCT1084E5TA application, or ZXCT1084E5TA equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, SOT25 package mapping, confirmed 5-pin terminal roles, real-world gain/offset/noise specs, and validated alternatives for high-voltage unipolar current monitoring in safety-critical and thermally demanding environments.
Technical Context
The ZXCT1084E5TA implements a high-impedance, rail-to-rail input amplifier architecture optimized for unipolar high-side sensing, where S+ and S− directly interface across a shunt resistor while operating up to 60V common-mode voltage. Its internal transconductance stage is replaced by a fixed-gain voltage-output stage, eliminating external gain-setting resistors required by ZXCT1082/83 variants.
It features independent supply (VCC) and input common-mode voltage domains, enabling operation with VCC as low as 2.7V while sensing signals referenced to VS+ up to 60V. The output is a buffered voltage (VOUT = 25 × VSENSE) with 125kΩ output impedance, specified over −40°C to +125°C and qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for automotive under-hood use.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain | 25 V/V - provides 25 mV output per 1 mV sense voltage; enables direct ADC interfacing with 100 µV resolution at 4 mV full-scale input. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±0.2 mV (typ) - contributes ≤0.8% error at 25 mV VSENSE; critical for accuracy in low-current (<100 mA) monitoring applications. |
| Common-Mode Input Range | 2.7 V to 60 V - supports direct sensing on 24V/28V/48V industrial and automotive battery rails without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Quiescent Current | 0.6 µA - minimizes parasitic loading on high-impedance sense paths and extends battery life in always-on monitoring circuits. |
| Output Impedance | 125 kΩ - requires minimum 100 kΩ load impedance to avoid >1% gain error; compatible with standard SAR ADC input stages. |
| Bandwidth (G=25) | 500 kHz - supports pulse-width modulated load current tracking up to ~50 kHz switching frequencies with <1% amplitude error. |
| CMRR / PSRR | 80–100 dB - rejects supply and common-mode noise in noisy 12V/24V vehicle electrical systems, preserving measurement integrity. |
Pinout & Package
SOT25 (5-pin SC-74A) package: compact 2.8 mm × 1.6 mm footprint with 0.95 mm pitch, rated for 150°C junction temperature and qualified for automotive reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT) | Voltage output terminal | Delivers VOUT = 25 × (VS+ − VS−); must connect to high-impedance node (e.g., ADC input or op-amp buffer) to avoid gain error. |
| 2 (GND) | Analog ground reference | Return path for internal bias currents; must tie to clean system analog ground, separate from power ground if possible. |
| 3 (S+) | Positive current-sense input | Connects directly to high-side of shunt resistor (VSUPPLY side); withstands up to +65 V absolute max voltage. |
| 4 (S−) | Negative current-sense input | Connects directly to low-side of shunt resistor (VLOAD side); common-mode range extends down to −0.3 V relative to GND. |
| 5 (VCC) | Analog supply input | Powers internal amplifier; operates from 2.7 V to 60 V; PSRR ≥80 dB ensures stable output despite supply ripple. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 25× voltage gain | Eliminates external gain resistors, reducing BOM count and layout sensitivity while guaranteeing monotonic output scaling. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for −40°C to +125°C ambient operation with lifetime reliability testing - suitable for engine control, battery disconnect, and ADAS power modules. |
| 60 V common-mode input range | Enables direct high-side sensing on 48 V mild-hybrid and 24 V commercial vehicle rails without auxiliary supplies or isolation. |
| 0.6 µA quiescent current | Reduces self-heating in sealed enclosures and avoids measurable error in µA-level standby current monitoring. |
| ±0.2 mV input offset (typ) | Supports sub-1% full-scale accuracy down to 4 mV VSENSE - sufficient for 100 mA sensing with 10 mΩ shunt at 25°C. |

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+ | 20 V max common-mode, 500 kHz BW, 125 µA IQ, SO8 package | Limited to ≤20 V rails; unsuitable for 24V+ automotive or industrial use | Select only for low-voltage, space-tolerant designs where SOT25 footprint is not required. |
| INA240A1DGNR | 80 V common-mode, 10×/20×/50× selectable gain, 2.4 mA IQ, MSOP-8 | Higher IQ increases self-heating; larger package reduces board density | Prefer when multi-gain flexibility or >60 V headroom is needed, accepting higher power and size penalty. |
Compared with MAX4080TASA+, ZXCT1084E5TA supports 3× higher common-mode voltage and consumes 400× less quiescent current; versus INA240A1DGNR, it offers superior low-power performance and smaller footprint but lacks programmable gain - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, high-reliability 24–48V fixed-gain monitoring.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable differential sense voltage (VSENSE) for ZXCT1084E5TA?
The ZXCT1084E5TA specifies a recommended operating VSENSE range of 0 V to 0.5 V. Exceeding 0.5 V risks saturation of the internal amplifier and nonlinearity beyond ±2% gain error. At 0.5 V input, output reaches 12.5 V - ensure VOUT remains below VS− − 1 V per datasheet limits to avoid damage.
Can ZXCT1084E5TA be used for bidirectional current sensing?
No - ZXCT1084E5TA is a unipolar high-side monitor designed only for current flow from S+ to S− (i.e., conventional current direction). It does not support negative VSENSE or reverse current detection; output voltage drops to near VS− under zero/negative differential input and cannot resolve polarity reversal.
How does the 0.6 µA quiescent current impact measurement accuracy in low-current applications?
The 0.6 µA ICC flows primarily through VCC and introduces negligible voltage drop across typical supply impedances (<1 Ω). However, its contribution to S+ and S− input bias currents (1.7 µA typ each) creates offset errors in high-value shunts (>1 Ω); for 100 mΩ shunts at 100 mA, this adds <0.2% error - within the ±1% total accuracy budget.
Is ZXCT1084E5TA compatible with ceramic shunt resistors having low TCR?
Yes - its 100 dB CMRR and 80 dB PSRR suppress noise from ceramic shunts' piezoelectric effects and supply ripple. Combined with ±0.2 mV input offset and 100 ppm/K gain TC, it maintains ±0.5% full-scale accuracy over temperature when paired with ≤25 ppm/K ceramic shunts in 24V systems.
