Product details
Overview
ZXCT1086QE5TA from Diodes Incorporated is an automotive-grade, high-side unipolar current sense monitor in SOT25 package, delivering fixed 50× voltage gain (VOUT = 50 × VSENSE), 60V max common-mode input range, and 0.6µA quiescent current for precision battery management and load monitoring in 24–28V industrial and automotive systems.
For engineers reviewing the ZXCT1086QE5TA datasheet, ZXCT1086QE5TA pinout, ZXCT1086QE5TA application, or ZXCT1086QE5TA equivalent, this device supports AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, operates from −40°C to +125°C, offers ±3mV input offset voltage over temperature, and provides 200kHz small-signal bandwidth at G = 50 - critical for fast overcurrent detection in EV power distribution units and ADAS domain controllers.
Technical Context
The ZXCT1086QE5TA implements a high-impedance current-to-voltage conversion architecture with independent supply and common-mode voltage domains: VCC (2.7–60V) powers internal circuitry while VS+ and VS− tolerate up to 65V absolute maximum, enabling direct placement between battery rail and load without ground disruption. Its output stage delivers a buffered voltage proportional to sensed differential voltage across an external shunt.
Unlike transconductance variants (e.g., ZXCT1082Q), it uses no external gain-setting resistors - fixed 50× gain is internally trimmed and temperature-compensated (±100ppm/°C gain drift), ensuring stable scaling across automotive thermal cycles. CMRR and PSRR both exceed 80dB over 0.1Hz–100kHz, supporting accurate sensing amid noisy 12V/24V bus transients.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain | Fixed 50× V/V - enables direct interface with 12-bit ADCs using 10mV–200mV sense voltage range. |
| Common-mode input range | 2.7V to 60V - supports high-side monitoring on 48V mild-hybrid and 24V commercial vehicle rails. |
| Input offset voltage | ±3mV max over −40°C to +125°C - limits current measurement error to <±0.6% at 60mV full-scale sense voltage. |
| Small-signal bandwidth | 200kHz at G = 50 - resolves fast load transients such as solenoid switching or motor stall events. |
| Quiescent current | 0.6µA typical - reduces self-heating and preserves accuracy in always-on battery monitoring circuits. |
| Output noise voltage | 730µVRMS (0.1Hz–100kHz) - ensures sub-10µA RMS current resolution with 100mΩ shunt. |
| AEC-Q100 qualification | Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C junction) - certified for engine bay, transmission control, and body electronics applications. |
Pinout & Package
SOT25 (5-pin small-outline transistor) package with gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant green molding compound, and 8mm tape-and-reel packaging (3000 units/reel). Pin 1 marked by dot; recommended pad layout per AP02001.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT) | Voltage output terminal | Delivers buffered analog output VOUT = 50 × (VS+ − VS−); drives 10kΩ min load; rail-to-rail swing limited to VS− − 1V. |
| 2 (GND) | Analog ground reference | Return path for internal biasing; must be connected to system ground plane with low-inductance trace. |
| 3 (S+) | High-side sense input (+) | Connects directly to VSUPPLY side of shunt resistor; withstands up to 65V absolute voltage. |
| 4 (S−) | High-side sense input (−) | Connects directly to VLOAD side of shunt resistor; common-mode range matches S+; differential input limited to ±800mV. |
| 5 (VCC) | Analog supply input | Powers internal amplifier and reference; accepts 2.7–60V; decoupling capacitor (100nF) required near pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed-gain architecture | Eliminates external gain resistors - reduces BOM count, PCB area, and trimming uncertainty in production. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 0.6µA enables continuous battery monitoring in sleep-mode vehicle networks without measurable drain. |
| High common-mode rejection | 80–100dB CMRR across 0.1Hz–1MHz ensures immunity to battery ripple and alternator noise. |
| Automotive thermal robustness | Specified performance from −40°C to +125°C ambient - validated for under-hood placement in junction boxes. |
| Supply rejection stability | 80–100dB PSRR maintains gain accuracy despite 2.7–60V VCC variation - essential for start-stop systems. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX40056ASA+T | Fixed 20× gain, 65V common-mode, 1.2µA IQ, SO-8 package | Larger footprint; lower gain requires higher sense voltage or post-amplification | Preferred when board space allows SO-8 and lower gain simplifies signal chain design |
| TSC2101IYCT | Fixed 100× gain, 60V common-mode, 1.5µA IQ, SOT23-5 package | Higher gain increases sensitivity to shunt tolerance and noise; not AEC-Q100 qualified | Selected for cost-sensitive non-automotive industrial use where 100× scaling meets resolution needs |
Compared with MAX40056ASA+T and TSC2101IYCT, ZXCT1086QE5TA uniquely balances AEC-Q100 Grade 1 compliance, 50× gain optimized for 10–200mV shunt drops, and ultra-low 0.6µA supply current - making it the only choice for always-on, thermally constrained automotive battery monitors requiring PPAP documentation.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable differential input voltage (VSENSE) for ZXCT1086QE5TA?
The maximum differential input voltage is ±800mV, as specified in Absolute Maximum Ratings. Operation beyond this limit risks exceeding the ±12mA input current rating at S+ or S− pins. For reliable linear operation, VSENSE should remain within 0–500mV per Recommended Operating Conditions, with optimal accuracy achieved between 10mV and 200mV.
Can ZXCT1086QE5TA operate with VCC disconnected while sensing current?
No. VCC must be powered for internal circuitry to function. The device draws only 0.6µA from VCC, but without supply voltage, OUT remains undefined and no valid output is generated. The S+ and S− inputs are not functional without VCC bias, and common-mode voltage tolerance does not extend to unpowered operation.
How does the output voltage range relate to the S− pin voltage?
VOUT swings from 0V to (VS− − 0.8V) minimum, with upper limit capped at VS− − 1V per Electrical Characteristics. This rail-to-rail limitation relative to VS− - not ground - ensures compatibility with floating shunt configurations. For example, if VS− = 12V, VOUT ranges from 0V to 11.2V, enabling direct interface with 12V-tolerant ADC references.
Is external filtering required on the OUT pin for automotive EMC compliance?
A 100Ω series resistor plus 100pF capacitor to ground is recommended per Diodes' application guidance to suppress RF coupling above 30MHz. This RC filter (fc ≈ 16MHz) preserves 200kHz signal bandwidth while attenuating AM-band emissions. Layout best practices - including short traces, ground plane beneath OUT, and separation from noisy digital lines - are equally critical for CISPR 25 Class 5 compliance.
