Product details
Overview
ZXCT1086E5TA from Diodes Incorporated is a precision high-side current monitor IC with fixed 50× voltage gain, 60V max common-mode input range, 0.6µA quiescent current, ±3mV input offset voltage (−40°C to +125°C), and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification-designed for automotive battery management and industrial 24–28V rail overcurrent monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the ZXCT1086E5TA datasheet, ZXCT1086E5TA pinout, ZXCT1086E5TA application, or ZXCT1086E5TA equivalent, this device delivers high-accuracy unipolar current sensing without ground-plane disruption, supports load-dump robustness in automotive environments, and enables low-power, high-CMRR (≥80 dB) measurement across extended temperature ranges.
Technical Context
The ZXCT1086E5TA implements a high-voltage current-sense amplifier architecture with independent supply and common-mode voltage domains: VCC (2.7–60V) powers internal circuitry while S+ and S− tolerate up to 65V absolute maximum common-mode voltage. Its fixed-gain transimpedance core converts differential sense voltage (0–500mV) into a proportional output voltage referenced to VS−.
It operates with zero external gain-setting resistors-unlike ZXCT1082/83-and achieves 50 V/V gain with ±2% error over −40°C to +125°C, 125kΩ output impedance, and 200kHz small-signal bandwidth at G = 50. CMRR and PSRR both exceed 80dB across 0.1Hz–100kHz, enabling stable operation in noisy industrial and automotive power rails.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain | Fixed 50 V/V - eliminates external resistor network, reduces BOM count and layout sensitivity. |
| Common-Mode Input Range | 2.7V to 60V - supports direct high-side sensing on 24V/28V industrial and 12V automotive systems without level-shifting. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±3 mV (−40°C to +125°C) - ensures ≤6% full-scale error at 500mV sense range, critical for accurate low-current detection. |
| Quiescent Current | 0.6 µA - minimizes self-heating and system power loss, enabling always-on monitoring in battery-backed applications. |
| Output Impedance | 125 kΩ - compatible with standard ADC input stages and RC filtering without buffer amplification. |
| Small-Signal Bandwidth | 200 kHz at G = 50 - supports real-time response to fast load transients (e.g., motor startup, solenoid actuation). |
| CMRR / PSRR | ≥80 dB (−40°C to +125°C) - rejects noise from shared power rails and high dv/dt switching nodes in motor drives and DC/DC converters. |
Pinout & Package
SOT25 (5-pin SC-74A) package: compact 2.8mm × 1.6mm footprint with exposed pad for thermal performance; RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, AEC-Q100 qualified.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT) | Voltage output terminal | Delivers VOUT = 50 × VSENSE referenced to VS−; drives ADCs or comparator inputs directly. |
| 2 (GND) | Analog ground reference | Provides internal bias reference; must be connected to system ground near sense resistor return path. |
| 3 (S+) | High-side sense input (+) | Connects directly to VSUPPLY side of shunt resistor; tolerates up to 65V common-mode voltage. |
| 4 (S−) | High-side sense input (−) | Connects directly to VLOAD side of shunt resistor; defines differential sense node with S+. |
| 5 (VCC) | Analog supply input | Powers internal amplifier; operates independently from S+/S− common-mode voltage (2.7–60V range). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 50× gain architecture | Eliminates external gain-setting resistors-reduces component count, layout area, and gain drift due to resistor tolerance/TC. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for automotive ambient temperatures (−40°C to +125°C) and stress testing-enables use in engine bay and battery monitoring modules. |
| 60V common-mode input capability | Enables direct high-side sensing on 24V/28V industrial rails and 12V automotive systems without isolation or level shifters. |
| 0.6µA quiescent current | Supports ultra-low-power always-on current monitoring in battery-powered telematics and energy storage systems. |
| Load-dump tolerant design | Withstands ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a (12V systems) per typical application data-critical for automotive ECU integration. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side current monitor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4080TASA+ | 50V max common-mode, 25/50/100V/V selectable gain, 125µA IQ, SO8 package | Requires external gain resistors; higher IQ limits battery use; larger footprint | Select when multi-gain flexibility or SO8 assembly compatibility is required over ultra-low IQ. |
| INA240A1QDRQ1 | 80V max common-mode, 20V/V fixed gain, 2.4mA IQ, SO8 package, integrated EMI filter | Higher IQ increases power loss; wider CMR suits 48V EV systems; no SOT25 option | Select for 48V battery systems requiring >60V CMR or enhanced EMI immunity in noisy motor drive environments. |
Compared with MAX4080TASA+ and INA240A1QDRQ1, ZXCT1086E5TA offers the lowest quiescent current (0.6µA vs. 125µA/2.4mA) and smallest SOT25 footprint-making it optimal for space-constrained, always-on automotive and industrial monitoring where power and board area are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum sense resistor voltage (VSENSE) the ZXCT1086E5TA can accurately measure?
The ZXCT1086E5TA supports a differential input voltage range of 0–500mV. At 50× gain, this yields a 0–25V output swing referenced to VS−. Operation beyond 500mV risks nonlinearity and saturation; datasheet specifies guaranteed linearity only up to 500mV with ≤1% gain error.
Can ZXCT1086E5TA operate with VCC lower than the common-mode voltage at S+ or S−?
Yes. VCC (2.7–60V) and the S+/S− common-mode voltage (up to 65V) are fully independent. The device functions correctly even when VCC = 3.3V while S+ = 48V-enabling low-voltage MCU interfacing in high-voltage systems without level shifters.
How does the ZXCT1086E5TA handle reverse polarity or negative VSENSE?
The ZXCT1086E5TA is a unipolar current monitor: it only responds to positive VSENSE (S+ > S−). Negative differential input is not supported-output clamps near VS−, and sustained reverse voltage may exceed absolute maximum ratings. Bidirectional sensing requires dual-supply or dedicated bidirectional ICs.
Is an external output capacitor required for stability with ZXCT1086E5TA?
No external capacitor is required for basic stability. The 125kΩ output impedance allows direct connection to 1MΩ+ ADC inputs. For noise filtering or driving capacitive loads >100pF, a series 10–100Ω resistor plus 1–10nF capacitor to ground is recommended-per Figure 11 in DS32162 Rev. 2-2.
