Product details
Overview
ZXCT1087QE5TA from Diodes Incorporated is an automotive-grade, fixed-gain, high-side current monitor IC in SOT25 package, designed for unipolar load current sensing without ground-plane disruption. It features 40V max common-mode input voltage, 50× VSENSE gain (VOUT = 50 × VSENSE), ±3 mV input offset voltage over temperature, and 0.6 µA quiescent current - enabling precision battery management and overcurrent protection in 12V/24V automotive systems.
For engineers reviewing the ZXCT1087QE5TA datasheet, ZXCT1087QE5TA pinout, ZXCT1087QE5TA application, or ZXCT1087QE5TA equivalent, this device delivers AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified performance for high-reliability automotive current monitoring where supply rejection (80–100 dB PSRR), common-mode rejection (80–100 dB CMRR), and operation from −40°C to +125°C are critical.
Technical Context
The ZXCT1087QE5TA implements a precision voltage-output current sense amplifier with fixed 50 V/V gain, optimized for high-side placement between VSUPPLY and load. Its input stage operates independently of VCC, supporting wide common-mode range (2.7V to 40V) while maintaining low input bias current (≤5 µA) and minimal offset drift (±4 µV/K).
It uses a rail-to-rail output stage referenced to VS−, delivering VOUT = 50 × VSENSE across 0–0.5 V differential input, with 200 kHz small-signal bandwidth and 7 µs 0.1% settling time - suitable for real-time fault detection in automotive power distribution modules and battery disconnect units.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain | Fixed 50 V/V - enables direct scaling of 20 mV sense voltage to 1 V output for ADC interfacing. |
| Common-Mode Input Range | 2.7 V to 40 V - supports monitoring in 24 V industrial and 12 V automotive rails without level-shifting. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±3 mV max over −40°C to +125°C - ensures ≤6% full-scale error at 50 mV sense voltage. |
| Quiescent Current | 0.6 µA typical - minimizes parasitic loading on high-impedance sense resistors and extends system standby life. |
| PSRR / CMRR | 80–100 dB - rejects supply noise and common-mode transients during load dump or alternator ripple events. |
| Bandwidth | 200 kHz (−3 dB) - captures fast overcurrent events such as short-circuit turn-on in motor drivers. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C - meets AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements for under-hood automotive deployment. |
Pinout & Package
SOT25 (5-pin SC-74A) package with gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and lead-free construction. Dimensions: 2.80 mm × 1.60 mm × 1.10 mm (L × W × H), 0.95 mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 OUT | Voltage output terminal | Delivers VOUT = 50 × VSENSE; rail-to-rail swing down to VS− − 0.8 V supports low-voltage microcontroller ADC inputs. |
| 2 GND | Analog ground reference | Provides internal bias reference; must be connected to system ground with low-inductance path to minimize noise coupling. |
| 3 S+ | High-side sense input (+) | Connects directly to VSUPPLY side of sense resistor; withstands up to 45 V absolute max, supports wide common-mode range. |
| 4 S− | High-side sense input (−) | Connects directly to load side (VLOAD) of sense resistor; differential input accepts up to ±800 mV, limiting sense resistor voltage drop. |
| 5 VCC | Analog supply input | Powers internal circuitry; operates from 2.7 V to 40 V, independent of S+/S− common-mode voltage for flexible biasing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for automotive use with PPAP support, ensuring reliability in safety-critical power monitoring applications. |
| Fixed 50× gain architecture | Eliminates external gain-setting resistors, reducing BOM count and layout sensitivity versus adjustable variants like ZXCT1082Q. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 0.6 µA enables integration into always-on battery monitoring circuits without compromising standby current budgets. |
| High PSRR and CMRR | ≥80 dB rejection of supply ripple and common-mode noise ensures stable output during engine cranking or load dump events. |
| Rail-to-rail output referenced to VS− | Allows direct interface with 3.3 V or 5 V ADCs even when sensing at high common-mode voltages (e.g., 24 V bus). |

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+ | 50 V/V gain, 2.7–76 V common-mode, 125 kHz bandwidth, higher IQ (1.1 mA) | Supports wider voltage range but consumes ~1800× more quiescent current - unsuitable for battery-backed systems. | Select for 48 V+ industrial systems where bandwidth margin is critical and standby power is not constrained. |
| TSC1021IYPT | 20 V/V fixed gain, 4.5–28 V supply, 1 MHz bandwidth, ±1 mV offset, SO-8 package | Limited to 28 V common-mode; requires external gain stage for 50× scaling; larger footprint than SOT25. | Choose when higher bandwidth is needed and board space allows SO-8; avoid for 40 V automotive rails. |
Compared with MAX4080TASA+ and TSC1021IYPT, ZXCT1087QE5TA uniquely balances ultra-low IQ (0.6 µA), AEC-Q100 Grade 1 compliance, 40 V common-mode capability, and SOT25 compactness - making it optimal for space-constrained, always-on automotive current sensing where power efficiency and qualification rigor are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable sense resistor voltage drop for ZXCT1087QE5TA?
The ZXCT1087QE5TA specifies a maximum differential input voltage (VS+ − VS−) of ±800 mV per Absolute Maximum Ratings. However, Recommended Operating Conditions limit VSENSE to 0–0.5 V for guaranteed linearity and accuracy. Exceeding 500 mV risks gain compression and increased offset error, especially at temperature extremes.
Can ZXCT1087QE5TA be used with a 48 V nominal automotive system?
No - ZXCT1087QE5TA has a 40 V maximum common-mode input voltage and 45 V absolute maximum rating on S+/S− pins. For 48 V systems, use ZXCT1086QE5TA (60 V rated) or verify transient clamping with external TVS diodes, though AEC-Q100 compliance would no longer be assured beyond datasheet limits.
How does the output reference work, and what is its voltage range?
ZXCT1087QE5TA's OUT pin is referenced to VS− (the S− terminal), not GND. Its output swings from VS− − 1 V to VS− − 0.8 V minimum, allowing direct connection to ADCs referenced to the same VS− node. This eliminates level-shifting in high-side configurations where VS− floats above ground.
Is external filtering required for accurate current measurement?
Not inherently - the device includes internal filtering optimized for 200 kHz bandwidth and 7 µs settling. However, for noisy environments (e.g., PWM motor drives), a 10 nF capacitor from S+ to S− near the sense resistor reduces RF pickup, and a 100 pF capacitor from OUT to GND improves ADC sampling stability without affecting dynamic response.
