Product details
Overview
ZXCT180QB3W5-7 from Diodes Incorporated is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive current shunt monitor supporting uni-directional high-side and low-side sensing with a -0.3V to 26V common-mode input range, 100V/V fixed gain, ±1% max gain error over temperature, and 400kHz small-signal bandwidth at 20V/V (150kHz at 100V/V). It operates from 2.7V to 5.5V supply and delivers rail-to-rail output for motor control fault detection in 12V/24V vehicle systems.
For engineers reviewing the ZXCT180QB3W5-7 datasheet, ZXCT180QB3W5-7 pinout, ZXCT180QB3W5-7 application, or ZXCT180QB3W5-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include common-mode voltage tolerance beyond supply rails, gain accuracy across -40°C to +125°C, quiescent current ≤370μA, and SOT25 package compatibility with automotive PCB layout constraints.
Technical Context
The ZXCT180QB3W5-7 implements a precision current-sense amplifier topology that isolates measurement circuitry from high common-mode voltages using internal matched resistor networks and differential input stage design. Its architecture enables accurate RTI offset voltage tracking (±400μV max, 1μV/°C drift) while maintaining CMRR ≥84dB across -0.3V–26V VCM.
Pinout B configuration places the analog output on Pin 4, enabling flexible PCB routing for high-side sensing layouts where OUT must be routed away from noisy power traces. Gain is factory-set to 100V/V via internal laser-trimmed resistors, eliminating external component dependencies and ensuring monotonicity over temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2.7V to 5.5V - Enables direct interface with 3.3V or 5V microcontroller ADC reference rails without level-shifting. |
| Common-Mode Range | -0.3V to 26V - Supports battery monitoring in 24V commercial vehicles and reverse-polarity protection down to -0.3V. |
| Fixed Gain | 100V/V - Delivers 100mV output per 1mA shunt current, optimizing resolution for 10–100mΩ shunts in 1–10A motor control loops. |
| Gain Error | ±1% max over -40°C to +125°C - Ensures <1% full-scale error in e-pump current feedback without calibration across automotive temperature extremes. |
| Small-Signal Bandwidth | 150kHz at 100V/V gain - Captures transient overcurrent events in <7μs, sufficient for BLDC phase current monitoring at 20kHz PWM. |
| Quiescent Current | 370μA max - Allows continuous operation in always-on body control modules without compromising battery drain budgets. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±400μV max at 12V VCM - Limits zero-current error to ≤4μA through 10mΩ shunt, critical for low-power valve actuator standby sensing. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-pin SOT25 (3.0mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), RoHS-compliant matte tin-plated leads, MSL Level 1, 0.012g weight.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pin 2) | Reference ground | Low-impedance return path for internal biasing; must connect to star ground point shared with shunt and ADC to avoid measurement error. |
| VS (Pin 5) | Power supply | Supplies internal amplifiers and reference; requires 0.1μF ceramic bypass capacitor placed within 2mm of pin to suppress switching noise coupling. |
| IN+ (Pin 1) | High-side sense input | Connects to supply side of shunt; withstands up to 26V regardless of VS state - enables hot-swap and load-dump resilience. |
| IN– (Pin 3) | Low-side sense input | Connects to load side of shunt; differential input pair rejects common-mode transients during motor commutation spikes. |
| OUT (Pin 4) | Analog output | Voltage proportional to ILOAD × 100 - rail-to-rail swing (GND+0.0005V to VS–0.02V) interfaces directly with 12-bit SAR ADCs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for -40°C to +125°C ambient operation in engine bay and chassis-mounted modules with PPAP documentation support. |
| Four factory-set gain options | Eliminates external gain-setting resistors - reduces BOM count and layout sensitivity while guaranteeing monotonic gain vs. temperature. |
| Rail-to-rail output stage | Enables full utilization of 3.3V or 5V ADC input range without external op-amp buffering, minimizing signal chain error sources. |
| 2.7V minimum supply voltage | Supports operation during cold-crank conditions where battery drops to 2.8V, maintaining fault detection capability in starter circuits. |
| ESD robustness | 5kV HBM rating protects against assembly handling damage and in-vehicle ESD events near door modules and seat controls. |
Applications
| Vehicle Motor Control | Body Control Module (BCM) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current-sense amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA240A1QDRQ1 | 20V/V gain only; 4V/V to 500V/V programmable via external resistor; higher 100kHz bandwidth at 100V/V. | Requires external gain resistor and layout compensation; better for multi-gain designs but adds BOM and calibration complexity. | Select when programmable gain and lower offset (±5μV) justify added design effort and cost premium. |
| MAX40056ATA+T | 100V/V fixed gain; 200kHz bandwidth; ±0.5% gain error; 2.7V to 5.5V supply; same SOT23-5 package. | Higher gain accuracy but narrower -0.2V to 24V common-mode range - insufficient for 26V load-dump immunity. | Select for non-automotive industrial applications requiring tighter gain tolerance where 24V max VCM is acceptable. |
Compared with INA240A1QDRQ1 and MAX40056ATA+T, the ZXCT180QB3W5-7 uniquely balances AEC-Q100 compliance, 26V common-mode tolerance, and fixed 100V/V gain in a cost-optimized SOT25 package - making it optimal for production automotive motor control where layout simplicity and transient resilience are prioritized over ultra-low offset.

FAQ
What is the difference between ZXCT180QA3W5-7 and ZXCT180QB3W5-7?
ZXCT180QB3W5-7 uses Pinout B, placing the analog output (OUT) on Pin 4, whereas ZXCT180QA3W5-7 uses Pinout A with OUT on Pin 1. Both share identical electrical specifications - 100V/V gain, ±1% gain error, and 150kHz bandwidth - but differ solely in pin assignment to accommodate PCB layout constraints in high-density automotive modules.
Can ZXCT180QB3W5-7 measure bidirectional current?
No. The ZXCT180QB3W5-7 is a uni-directional current monitor designed only for positive current flow from IN+ to IN–. It lacks a reference input or offset adjustment to support bidirectional sensing; for reverse-current detection, a separate device such as the ZXCT181Q or dual-supply amplifier is required.
What is the maximum shunt resistor value supported at 10A full-scale with ZXCT180QB3W5-7?
With 100V/V gain and 5V supply, the maximum output voltage is 4.98V (VS – 0.02V). For 10A full-scale, maximum shunt voltage is 49.8mV, allowing a 4.98mΩ shunt. At 2.7V supply, output swing reduces to 2.68V, limiting shunt to 2.68mΩ for 10A - confirming optimal use with 1–5mΩ shunts in high-current automotive applications.
Does ZXCT180QB3W5-7 require external filtering for PWM motor current measurement?
No external RC filter is required for basic PWM current sampling due to its 150kHz bandwidth at 100V/V gain, which passes fundamental and first harmonic of 20kHz PWM. However, a 100pF capacitor at the OUT pin is recommended to suppress RF emissions from long PCB traces driving high-impedance ADC inputs.
