Product details
Overview
ZXCT180QB1W5-7 from Diodes Incorporated is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive current shunt monitor supporting uni-directional high-side and low-side sensing with 20V/V fixed gain, 400kHz small-signal bandwidth, ±1% max gain error over −40°C to +125°C, and operation from 2.7V to 5.5V supply. It measures shunt voltage across common-mode voltages from −0.3V to 26V and delivers rail-to-rail output for motor control fault detection.
For engineers reviewing the ZXCT180QB1W5-7 datasheet, ZXCT180QB1W5-7 pinout, ZXCT180QB1W5-7 application, or ZXCT180QB1W5-7 equivalent, this device offers verified 20V/V gain accuracy, 2V/µs slew rate, 370µA max quiescent current, and SOT25 package compatibility - critical for automotive body control, e-pump monitoring, and battery charging current sensing.
Technical Context
The ZXCT180QB1W5-7 implements a precision current-sense amplifier topology that isolates input common-mode voltage (−0.3V to 26V) from supply rails (2.7V–5.5V), enabling accurate measurement of shunt voltage regardless of VS level. Its internal architecture supports simultaneous high-side and low-side configurations via Pinout B (OUT on Pin 4).
It features four factory-set gain options; this variant uses Pinout B1 configuration yielding 20V/V gain with ±1% max gain error over temperature and ±400µV max input offset voltage at 12V common-mode. CMRR exceeds 84dB and PSRR reaches ±40µV/V across operating conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2.7V to 5.5V - Enables direct interface with 3.3V or 5V microcontrollers without level-shifting. |
| Common-Mode Range | −0.3V to 26V - Supports battery monitoring in 12V/24V automotive systems, including reverse-battery tolerant designs. |
| Fixed Gain | 20V/V - Delivers 20mV output per 1mΩ shunt drop; simplifies ADC scaling for 10-bit/12-bit converters. |
| Small-Signal Bandwidth | 400kHz - Captures fast current transients in motor commutation or fault events without phase lag. |
| Quiescent Current | 370µA max - Minimizes system power budget impact in always-on vehicle modules. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±400µV max at 12V VCM - Ensures <1mA error at 50mΩ shunt, critical for low-current fault detection. |
| Slew Rate | 2V/µs - Enables sub-microsecond response to step-load changes in e-pump or valve drivers. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-pin SOT25 (3.0mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Ground reference | System return path for both analog and power domains; requires star grounding with ADC/microcontroller. |
| VS | Power supply | Supplies internal circuitry; bypass capacitor (0.1µF) must be placed adjacent to this pin for stability. |
| IN+ | High-side shunt connection | Connects to supply side of shunt resistor; tolerates up to 26V regardless of VS voltage. |
| IN− | Low-side shunt connection | Connects to load side of shunt; differential input rejects common-mode noise in noisy automotive environments. |
| OUT | Analog output | Voltage proportional to ILOAD × RSHUNT × 20; rail-to-rail swing enables full utilization of 3.3V/5V ADC input range. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail output | Swings within 20mV of VS and GND, maximizing dynamic range for 10-bit ADCs with 3.3V reference. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for −40°C to +125°C ambient operation in engine bay and under-hood applications. |
| 400kHz bandwidth at 20V/V gain | Enables real-time current profiling during BLDC motor startup and stall detection. |
| 2V/µs slew rate | Supports <500ns response to 1A step change across 50mΩ shunt, essential for overcurrent shutdown timing. |
| ESD protection | 5kV HBM rating ensures robustness against assembly and in-vehicle electrostatic discharge events. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current sensing amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA240A1QDRQ1 | 20V/V gain, 4V/µs slew rate, 350kHz bandwidth, 5-pin SOIC package | Higher slew rate but larger footprint; requires external 0.1µF bypass cap and no integrated ESD enhancement beyond 2kV HBM | Select when higher transient immunity is needed and PCB space allows SOIC; not drop-in due to pinout and package mismatch. |
| MAX40010FAUA+ | 20V/V gain, 350kHz bandwidth, 1.5V/µs slew rate, 6-pin µMAX package | Lower slew rate limits response to fast faults; lacks AEC-Q100 Grade 1 certification and operates only to +105°C | Use only in non-safety-critical cabin modules where extended temperature range is not required. |
Compared with INA240A1QDRQ1 and MAX40010FAUA+, the ZXCT180QB1W5-7 provides superior automotive qualification (Grade 1), smaller SOT25 footprint, higher ESD robustness (5kV vs. 2kV), and faster slew rate than MAX40010 - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability motor and battery monitoring.

FAQ
What is the difference between ZXCT180QA1W5-7 and ZXCT180QB1W5-7?
The sole functional difference is pinout configuration: ZXCT180QA1W5-7 places the OUT signal on Pin 1, while ZXCT180QB1W5-7 places OUT on Pin 4. Both share identical electrical specifications - 20V/V gain, ±1% gain error, 400kHz bandwidth, and −40°C to +125°C operation. The dual pinouts provide layout flexibility for routing constraints in high-density automotive PCBs.
Can ZXCT180QB1W5-7 be used for high-side sensing in a 24V system with 3.3V supply?
Yes. The device supports common-mode input voltages from −0.3V to 26V independent of supply voltage, so it accurately senses shunt voltage on the high side of a 24V rail while powered by 3.3V. Its input stage is designed to tolerate 26V on IN+ and IN− even when VS = 3.3V, eliminating need for level shifters or isolated supplies.
Does ZXCT180QB1W5-7 require external compensation components?
No external compensation is required. The device is internally compensated for stable operation with capacitive loads up to 1nF. A 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed between VS and GND is mandatory for power-supply decoupling, but no additional RC networks, feedback resistors, or compensation caps are needed for standard operation.
Is the gain of ZXCT180QB1W5-7 programmable or selectable externally?
No. Gain is fixed at 20V/V and determined by internal laser-trimmed thin-film resistors during manufacturing. Pinout B1 corresponds exclusively to the 20V/V option; gain selection occurs at wafer sort and cannot be altered post-production. Other gain variants (50/100/200V/V) require different orderable part numbers (e.g., ZXCT180QB2W5-7).
