Product details
Overview
ZXCT212QBDW-7 from Diodes Incorporated is an automotive-grade, zero-drift, high-precision current-shunt monitor with 1000 V/V fixed gain, ±30 µV max offset voltage, and -0.3 V to 26 V common-mode input range. It measures low-side or high-side shunt voltages as small as 10 mV full-scale for accurate large-current sensing in battery management, motor control, and ADAS systems.
For engineers reviewing the ZXCT212QBDW-7 datasheet, ZXCT212QBDW-7 pinout, ZXCT212QBDW-7 application, or ZXCT212QBDW-7 equivalent, this device supports AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, rail-to-rail output swing, 100 µA max quiescent current, and operation from -40°C to +125°C - critical for EV powertrain and safety-critical current monitoring.
Technical Context
The ZXCT212QBDW-7 uses a zero-drift chopper-stabilized architecture with post-trim calibration to achieve ±30 µV max input offset and 10 ppm/°C max gain drift over temperature. Its differential input stage rejects common-mode voltages up to 26 V while operating from a 2.7 V supply - enabling direct sensing on high-voltage rails without level shifting.
It delivers rail-to-rail output swing (within 50 mV of V+ and 5 mV of GND) into 10 kΩ loads across temperature, with 4 kHz bandwidth and 25 nV/√Hz input voltage noise. The REF pin allows configurable unidirectional or bidirectional current measurement by setting output bias point.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain | 1000 V/V - scales 10 mV shunt drop to 10 V output, enabling full-scale ADC utilization with minimal power loss. |
| Offset Voltage (max) | ±30 µV - ensures ≤30 nA error contribution at 10 mV sense voltage, critical for sub-1% current accuracy. |
| Common-Mode Range | -0.3 V to 26 V - supports direct high-side sensing on 12 V/24 V/48 V automotive rails without external level shifters. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 26 V - powers from low-voltage microcontrollers while interfacing with high-voltage battery stacks. |
| Quiescent Current | 100 µA max - enables always-on current monitoring in battery-backed systems with negligible standby drain. |
| CMRR | 95 dB min - suppresses 26 V common-mode interference to <1.8 mV error at output, essential for noisy motor drive environments. |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +125°C - meets AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements for under-hood and traction inverter applications. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-pin SOT363 (2.2 mm × 2.1 mm × 1.0 mm), RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (REF) | Analog reference input | Sets output DC bias; 0 V to V+ range enables unidirectional (GND-biased) or bidirectional (V+/2-biased) current sensing. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Return path for supply and signal; must be low-impedance to minimize ground bounce in high-dI/dt systems. |
| 3 (V+) | Power supply input | Accepts 2.7–26 V; bypass capacitor required between V+ and GND for stability and noise rejection. |
| 4 (IN+) | Differential input (+) | Connects to supply side of shunt resistor; high-impedance input minimizes loading error on precision sense networks. |
| 5 (IN−) | Differential input (−) | Connects to load side of shunt resistor; matched input bias currents reduce gain error from series resistance. |
| 6 (OUT) | Analog output | Voltage proportional to load current (VOUT = ILOAD × RSENSE × 1000 + VREF); rail-to-rail swing interfaces directly with 3.3 V/5 V ADCs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for automotive use from -40°C to +125°C ambient, PPAP-capable, manufactured in IATF 16949 facilities. |
| Zero-drift architecture | 0.1–0.5 µV/°C offset drift ensures stable baseline over temperature - eliminates recalibration in thermal cycling environments. |
| Rail-to-rail output | Swings within 50 mV of V+ and 5 mV of GND, maximizing dynamic range for 12-bit+ ADCs without external amplification. |
| 10 mV full-scale shunt support | Enables use of low-value shunts (e.g., 1 mΩ @ 10 A) to reduce power loss (<100 mW) and thermal drift in high-current paths. |
| Low gain error drift | 10 ppm/°C max - contributes ≤0.12% gain error over -40°C to +125°C, supporting <0.5% total current measurement accuracy. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-precision current sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA240A1QDRQ1 | 500 V/V gain, ±20 µV offset, 120 dB CMRR, 4 V/V to 500 V/V programmable gain variants available | Higher CMRR suits ultra-noisy inverter applications; lower gain requires larger shunt voltage for same output span | Select when >100 dB CMRR is mandatory and 500 V/V gain aligns with system shunt sizing. |
| MAX40056ATA+T | 1000 V/V gain, ±50 µV offset, 105 dB CMRR, operates up to 65 V common-mode, 1.5 mA IQ | Supports higher voltage rails (e.g., 48 V mild-hybrid systems); higher quiescent current limits always-on use cases | Select when common-mode exceeds 26 V or extended voltage margin is required despite higher power consumption. |
Compared with INA240A1QDRQ1 and MAX40056ATA+T, the ZXCT212QBDW-7 offers optimal balance of ultra-low offset (±30 µV), automotive qualification, and 100 µA IQ - making it preferred for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained BMS and EPS designs where 26 V common-mode suffices.

FAQ
What is the maximum common-mode voltage the ZXCT212QBDW-7 can measure?
The ZXCT212QBDW-7 supports a common-mode input range of -0.3 V to 26 V. This allows direct high-side current sensing on 12 V and 24 V automotive rails without external level-shifting circuitry. Operation beyond 26 V violates absolute maximum ratings and may cause permanent damage.
Can the ZXCT212QBDW-7 be used for bidirectional current sensing?
Yes - by applying a bias voltage (e.g., V+/2) to the REF pin, the output swings symmetrically around that reference, enabling measurement of both charging and discharging currents. The device's rail-to-rail output and low offset ensure accurate zero-crossing detection in battery management applications.
What shunt resistor value is recommended for 100 A full-scale measurement?
For 100 A full-scale with 10 mV sense voltage, use a 100 µΩ shunt resistor (R = V/I = 0.01 V / 100 A). At 1000 V/V gain, this yields 10 V output. Ensure the shunt's power rating exceeds I²R = 1 W, and verify layout minimizes parasitic inductance to avoid transient errors.
Does the ZXCT212QBDW-7 require external compensation components?
No external compensation is needed for stability under standard conditions. However, if input filtering is added for EMI suppression, series resistors must be ≤10 Ω to avoid gain error and CMRR degradation. A 0.01 µF–0.1 µF capacitor may be placed across the shunt for inductance compensation in high-dI/dt applications.
