Product details
Overview
ZXCT1107SA-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a high-side unipolar current sense monitor in SOT23-3 package, delivering 4mA/V transconductance with ±1.8% gain accuracy, 3µA quiescent current, and operation across 2.5V–36V common-mode input range. It enables non-intrusive load current measurement in automotive power rails, industrial 24V systems, and battery management without ground-plane disruption.
For engineers reviewing the ZXCT1107SA-7 datasheet, ZXCT1107SA-7 pinout, ZXCT1107SA-7 application, or ZXCT1107SA-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its single-supply line-powered architecture, SOT23-3 footprint compatibility, differential sense voltage tolerance up to 0.5V, and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification for automotive use.
Technical Context
The ZXCT1107SA-7 uses a current-output transconductance amplifier topology with internal biasing derived solely from the S+ pin-eliminating need for external supply. Its wide 2.5V–36V common-mode range supports direct connection to high-side power rails, while the 0.5V max differential sense voltage ensures precision at low-loss shunt values.
Temperature performance is specified across –40°C to +125°C with 370 ppm/°C output current TC and <0.4 µA/V common-mode rejection error. The device achieves 0.65 MHz small-signal bandwidth with 2.5kΩ gain-setting resistor, enabling fast overcurrent detection in real-time protection circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Transconductance | 4.0 mA/V ±1.8% - defines linear IOUT = 0.004 × VSENSE relationship for accurate analog current-to-voltage conversion |
| Quiescent Current | 3 µA - minimizes sensing error in ultra-low-power systems like battery monitors and always-on automotive modules |
| Common-Mode Input Range | 2.5 V to 36 V - supports direct high-side monitoring on 12V/24V/36V rails without level-shifting circuitry |
| Differential Sense Voltage | 0 to 0.5 V - enables use of low-value, low-power shunts (e.g., 20 mΩ at 2 A yields 40 mV) while maintaining accuracy |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - meets extended industrial and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements for under-hood automotive applications |
| Output Current Tempco | 370 ppm/°C - quantifies worst-case drift in output current over full temperature range, critical for thermal-stable threshold detection |
| Small-Signal Bandwidth | 0.65 MHz - supports response to transient overcurrent events within ~540 ns (10–90%), suitable for fast fault shutdown |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23-3, surface-mount, lead-free, RoHS-compliant, thermal pad not required. Footprint compatible with JEDEC TO-236AB standard.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - OUT | Current output terminal | Sinks proportional output current (IOUT) referenced to system ground; also serves as substrate connection - sets minimum rail voltage to 2.5V + VOUT |
| 2 - S− | Negative sense input | High-impedance input (19–100 nA leakage) tied to shunt resistor low-side; common-mode tolerant to 36V |
| 3 - S+ | Positive sense input & analog supply | Accepts high-side shunt voltage and powers internal circuitry; current varies with VSENSE, enabling line-powered operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Line-powered architecture | No external VCC required - powered directly from S+ pin, reducing BOM count and PCB space in compact adapters and modules |
| Low input bias current | S− leakage ≤100 nA at 25°C - preserves accuracy with high-value shunts (>1 Ω) and minimizes self-heating error |
| Wide common-mode rejection | 0.1–0.4 µA/V CMSR - maintains stable output despite rail fluctuations in noisy industrial 24V environments |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified | Validated for automotive ambient temperatures (–40°C to +125°C) - enables drop-in use in engine control, lighting, and ADAS subsystems |
| Single-resistor gain programming | RGAIN sets output voltage scaling - simplifies calibration and supports flexible interface to ADCs, comparators, or microcontroller inputs |

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 (75 µA), wider bandwidth (2.5 MHz), fixed 20V/V gain; requires dual supply | Requires separate VCC; better for high-speed motor control but unsuitable for ultra-low-power battery systems | Select when bandwidth >1 MHz and supply rail stability permit extra 72 µA overhead |
| INA219AIDR | I²C digital output, integrated 12-bit ADC, 0.1% gain error, but 1 mA quiescent current and limited to 26V common-mode | Replaces analog signal chain with digital interface; lacks true high-side capability above 26V | Choose for microcontroller-based systems needing direct I²C readout and where 26V max rail suffices |
Compared with MAX4080TASA+ and INA219AIDR, the ZXCT1107SA-7 uniquely combines line-powered operation, 3 µA IQ, 36V common-mode, and SOT23-3 size-making it optimal for space-constrained, always-on automotive and industrial monitors where supply simplicity and ultra-low standby loss are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage required for ZXCT1107SA-7 operation?
The minimum valid supply voltage is 2.5V plus the output voltage (VOUT), because pin 1 (OUT) serves as both output and substrate connection. For example, with a 2.5kΩ gain resistor and 100mV sense voltage, IOUT ≈ 408 µA → VOUT ≈ 1.02V, so minimum VS+ = 3.52V. This constraint is defined in the Recommended Operating Conditions table and verified in the Applications section.
Can ZXCT1107SA-7 be used for bidirectional current sensing?
No - the ZXCT1107SA-7 is a unidirectional high-side monitor optimized for positive current flow only. Its internal architecture does not support reverse-polarity sensing or negative VSENSE. For bidirectional applications, Diodes offers the ZXCT108x family, which includes dedicated zero-drift amplifiers with dual-supply capability and symmetric input ranges.
How does the 3 µA quiescent current impact measurement accuracy at low load currents?
At 100mV sense voltage, output current is ~408 µA - making the 3 µA quiescent current contribute <0.74% of full-scale output. Since IQ flows through internal nodes rather than the output path, it introduces negligible offset in the transconductance transfer function; dominant low-current errors arise from S− input bias current (≤100 nA) and resistor tolerances, not IQ.
Is external protection required against load short-circuit conditions?
Yes - although rated for 0.8V differential input, the device must be protected against >±8.5mA input current during shorts. A series resistor (RPROT) between S+ and the shunt limits peak current. For a 36V rail, RPROT ≥ (36V − 0.8V)/8.5mA ≈ 4.1 kΩ ensures safe operation without degrading normal sensing accuracy below 100mV.
