Product details
Overview
ZXCT1107QSA-7 from Diodes Incorporated is an automotive-grade, high-side unipolar current sense monitor in SOT23-3 package. It operates from 2.5V to 36V common-mode input range, draws only 3µA quiescent current, delivers 4mA/V transconductance, and supports linear sensing from 10mV to 500mV differential input - enabling precise load current monitoring in battery management and overcurrent protection circuits without ground-plane disruption.
For engineers reviewing the ZXCT1107QSA-7 datasheet, ZXCT1107QSA-7 pinout, ZXCT1107QSA-7 application, or ZXCT1107QSA-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, SOT23-3 footprint compatibility, 3µA supply current impact on measurement accuracy, and single external gain resistor (RGAIN) configuration for scalable voltage output conversion.
Technical Context
The ZXCT1107QSA-7 uses a line-powered architecture with S+ serving as both high-side sense input and internal analog supply rail - eliminating need for separate VCC. Its transconductance stage delivers 4mA/V output current proportional to VSENSE, with guaranteed linearity between 10mV and 500mV and ±1.8% transconductance error over temperature.
Common-mode rejection is maintained at ≤0.4µA/V across 2.5V–36V input range, and output current temperature coefficient is 370ppm/°C. The device's substrate-connected OUT pin (Pin 1) imposes a minimum VS+ of (2.5V + VOUT), constraining low-voltage operation when driving high-impedance loads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | 2.5V to 36V common-mode input - enables direct connection to 12V/24V automotive rails without level-shifting. |
| Quiescent Current | 3µA - minimizes parasitic loading on S+ rail and preserves system efficiency in always-on monitoring. |
| Transconductance | 4mA/V ±1.8% - defines precise IOUT = 4 × VSENSE scaling for predictable analog-to-digital conversion. |
| Sense Range | 10mV to 500mV linear VSENSE - sets usable RSENSE window (e.g., 50mΩ @ 2A yields 100mV, meeting 3.4% error spec). |
| Temp Range | −40°C to +125°C - supports under-hood deployment in engine control, body electronics, and ADAS modules. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade | Grade 1 qualified - certified for automotive production with PPAP documentation support. |
| Package | SOT23-3 - surface-mount footprint compatible with high-density PCB layouts and automated assembly. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 package with exposed pad (no thermal pad designation in datasheet); compact 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint; rated for 300mW power dissipation at TA = +25°C, derating linearly to zero at +150°C junction temperature.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - OUT | Current output / substrate connection | Delivers 4×VSENSE (µA) output current; also serves as internal substrate reference - requires VS+ ≥ (2.5V + VOUT) for proper biasing. |
| 2 - S− | Negative sense input | High-impedance node referenced to load return path; accepts up to ±8.5mA input current under fault conditions. |
| 3 - S+ | Positive sense input / analog supply | Connects to high-side power rail; powers internal circuitry and defines common-mode range; current varies with VSENSE. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Line-powered operation | No external VCC required - S+ supplies internal circuitry, reducing BOM count and layout complexity. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 3µA max - avoids measurable voltage drop across RSENSE during standby, critical for battery leakage monitoring. |
| Wide common-mode range | 2.5V to 36V - supports direct integration into 12V/24V/48V automotive subsystems without attenuation networks. |
| Single-resistor gain scaling | RGAIN converts IOUT to VOUT - enables flexible interface with ADCs, comparators, or op-amps using standard resistor values. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 compliance | Qualified per stress test schedule including HTOL, TC, ESD (HBM 1.5kV), and PPAP-ready documentation - meets OEM Tier-1 requirements. |
Applications
| Automotive Battery Monitoring | Engine Control Unit (ECU) Load Sensing |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fault-triggered current sensor feeding comparator threshold circuit for immediate load disconnect. Use Value: 10mV–500mV linear range captures both nominal (e.g., 500mA idle) and fault-level (e.g., 15A short) currents with single device. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-speed current feedback element interfaced with fast-response comparator for <10µs fault detection. Use Value: 0.65MHz bandwidth ensures timely response to transient overloads; AEC-Q100 qualification guarantees reliability in safety-critical steering systems. |
Use Scenario: Verifying stable current draw of 5V/3.3V camera imaging sensors and ISP processors during boot and operation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-power supervision node reporting current anomalies to vehicle domain controller via CAN or LIN.

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+ | Higher quiescent current (75µA), wider VCM (−0.1V to 76V), fixed 20V/V gain - no RGAIN flexibility. | Requires external supply; better suited for industrial 48V systems than automotive 12V/24V due to higher IQ. | Select when extended common-mode range beyond 36V is needed and fixed-gain simplifies design. |
| INA240A1QDRQ1 | Bi-directional sensing, 80V VCM, 20ppm/°C offset drift, 4V/V fixed gain - higher precision but larger SOIC-8 package. | Supports regenerative braking current measurement; not optimized for ultra-low IQ battery monitoring. | Select when bidirectional capability or lower offset drift is mandatory, and board space permits SOIC-8. |
Compared with MAX4080TASA+ and INA240A1QDRQ1, the ZXCT1107QSA-7 uniquely balances AEC-Q100 Grade 1 compliance, 3µA IQ, SOT23-3 size, and user-configurable gain - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained automotive current monitoring where unidirectional sensing suffices.

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage required for ZXCT1107QSA-7 operation?
The minimum S+ voltage is (2.5V + VOUT), where VOUT = IOUT × RGAIN. For example, with RGAIN = 5.1kΩ and VSENSE = 100mV, IOUT ≈ 408µA → VOUT ≈ 2.08V → minimum VS+ = 4.58V. This constraint arises because Pin 1 (OUT) serves as both output and substrate connection.
Can ZXCT1107QSA-7 measure bidirectional current?
No. The ZXCT1107QSA-7 is a unidirectional high-side current monitor. It outputs current only when VSENSE = VS+ − VS− is positive (i.e., current flows from S+ to S−). Reverse current produces no valid output and may violate absolute maximum ratings if VSENSE < −0.3V.
How does the 3µA quiescent current affect measurement accuracy?
The 3µA IQ flows through the S+ pin and introduces negligible error in typical applications: for a 50mΩ RSENSE at 2A load, the 3µA adds only 0.15nV drop - far below the 10mV minimum linear VSENSE threshold. Accuracy impact is dominated by transconductance error and resistor tolerances, not IQ.
Is an external bypass capacitor required on the S+ pin?
No dedicated bypass capacitor is specified in the datasheet. However, local 100nF ceramic capacitance between S+ and GND (for ZXCT1110Q) or S+ and OUT (for ZXCT1107Q/09Q) is recommended in noisy automotive environments to suppress high-frequency common-mode transients and maintain CMRR performance.
