Product details
Overview
ZXCT215QADW-7 from Diodes Incorporated is an automotive-grade, zero-drift, high-precision current-sense amplifier with 75V/V fixed gain, ±60μV max offset voltage (B version), and -0.3V to 26V common-mode input range. It operates from 2.7V to 26V supply, draws ≤100μA quiescent current, and delivers rail-to-rail output for accurate low-side or high-side shunt monitoring in EV powertrain subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the ZXCT215QADW-7 datasheet, ZXCT215QADW-7 pinout, ZXCT215QADW-7 application, or ZXCT215QADW-7 equivalent, this device supports AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, 10mV full-scale shunt sensing, and precise bidirectional current measurement in battery management and motor control systems requiring stable offset and gain over -40°C to +125°C.
Technical Context
The ZXCT215QADW-7 implements a zero-drift chopper-stabilized architecture with post-trim calibration to achieve ±60μV max input offset and 10ppm/°C max gain drift across temperature. Its differential input stage rejects common-mode voltages up to 26V while operating from supplies as low as 2.7V - enabling high-side sensing on 12V/24V vehicle rails without level-shifting.
It features rail-to-rail output swing (within 50mV of V+ and 5mV of GND), 40kHz bandwidth (CL = 10pF), and 120dB CMRR at DC, supporting unidirectional and bidirectional configurations via REF pin biasing. Input bias current remains below 35μA across its full common-mode range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain | 75V/V fixed - scales 10mV shunt drop to 750mV output for high-resolution ADC sampling |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±60μV max (B version) - enables <0.1% error at 10mV sense voltage across full temperature range |
| Common-Mode Range | -0.3V to 26V - supports direct high-side sensing on 24V battery rails without external level shifters |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7V to 26V - powers from low-voltage MCU rails while monitoring high-voltage power paths |
| Quiescent Current | 100μA max - minimizes parasitic load in always-on vehicle subsystems like BMS precharge monitoring |
| CMRR | 120dB - suppresses noise from noisy 12V/24V power domains during precision current measurement |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C - meets under-hood and powertrain thermal requirements per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 |
Pinout & Package

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (REF) | Analog input | Bias reference for bidirectional operation; sets output midpoint (e.g., V+/2); must be low-impedance |
| 2 (GND) | Ground | Power and signal return path; decoupling capacitor required between V+ and GND |
| 3 (V+) | Power supply | Single 2.7–26V supply input; powers internal zero-drift core and output stage |
| 4 (IN+) | Analog input | Connects to shunt resistor's supply-side terminal (high-side) or load-side (low-side) |
| 5 (IN−) | Analog input | Connects to shunt resistor's load-side terminal (high-side) or ground-side (low-side) |
| 6 (OUT) | Analog output | Voltage proportional to load current (VOUT = ILOAD × RSENSE × 75 + VREF); drives ADC directly |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for automotive powertrain use with PPAP capability and IATF 16949 manufacturing |

| 120dB CMRR | Rejects switching noise from adjacent 12V/24V power domains during high-accuracy current capture |
Applications
| Vehicle Battery Management System (BMS) | EV On-Board Charger (OBC) Control |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitoring charge/discharge current in 400V/800V traction battery packs with thermal cycling from -40°C to +85°C ambient. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side current sensor feeding isolated ADC; REF pin biased to V+/2 for bidirectional output swing. Use Value: ±60μV offset ensures <±0.6% full-scale error at 10mV shunt drop, critical for SOC estimation accuracy over lifetime. | Use Scenario: Sensing primary-side AC input current and secondary-side DC output current in dual-stage OBC converters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-unit implementation: one for AC line sensing (high common-mode), one for DC bus monitoring (rail-to-rail output). Use Value: 26V common-mode range allows direct AC rectifier output sensing without attenuators; 40kHz bandwidth captures switching ripple. |
| Electric Power Steering (EPS) Motor Driver | ADAS Radar Module Power Supply |
Use Scenario: Real-time phase current monitoring in 3-phase inverter driving 12V EPS motors with PWM frequencies up to 20kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side shunt monitor per phase; OUT drives MCU's 12-bit SAR ADC with 1μs acquisition window. Use Value: 100μA quiescent current avoids thermal derating in sealed EPS housing; 10ppm/°C gain drift maintains torque control linearity. | Use Scenario: Detecting overcurrent faults in 12V radar supply rails during cold cranking (battery dip to 6V) and load dump (transient to 36V). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side monitor with fast response; OUT triggers hardware fault latch before MCU intervention. Use Value: -0.3V to 26V common-mode range survives 36V transients via internal clamping; 120dB CMRR rejects RF coupling from 77GHz antenna. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-precision automotive current sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA240A1QDRQ1 | 100V/V gain, ±100μV offset (max), 4V to 80V supply, 105dB CMRR | Higher supply range suits 48V mild-hybrid systems; lower CMRR increases noise susceptibility in ADAS modules | Select when monitoring >40V rails; avoid where 120dB CMRR is required for RF-noisy environments |
| ZXCT214QADW-7 | 100V/V gain, ±75μV offset (max), identical package, pinout, and temp range | Higher gain better for sub-10mV shunt drops; requires higher-resolution ADC to maintain SNR at same full-scale | Choose for tighter shunt budgets (e.g., <7mV drop); retain same layout and qualification status |
Compared with INA240A1QDRQ1, ZXCT215QADW-7 offers superior CMRR and lower offset for 12V/24V systems but lacks 48V+ support; versus ZXCT214QADW-7, it trades 25% lower gain for improved dynamic range headroom and reduced ADC quantization error at typical 10mV shunts.

FAQ
What is the maximum shunt voltage drop supported by ZXCT215QADW-7?
The device supports full-scale shunt drops as low as 10mV due to its ±60μV max offset and 75V/V gain. At 10mV input, output is 750mV - well within 3.3V ADC range. Higher drops (e.g., 20mV) are supported but reduce measurement resolution proportionally; design must ensure VOUT stays within rail-to-rail limits (≤V+ − 0.05V).
Can ZXCT215QADW-7 be used for bidirectional current sensing?
Yes - by applying a bias voltage (typically V+/2) to the REF pin, the OUT pin swings symmetrically around that reference, enabling positive/negative current detection. The device's rail-to-rail output and 120dB CMRR ensure clean bipolar signals even in noisy automotive environments; external REF buffer is recommended for low-impedance drive.
How does the zero-drift architecture improve long-term stability?
Chopper stabilization and auto-zeroing eliminate 1/f noise and minimize thermal drift, achieving ±0.5μV/°C typical offset drift over -40°C to +125°C. Post-trim calibration guarantees ±60μV max offset across temperature - critical for maintaining <0.6% error in battery coulomb counting over 15-year vehicle life without recalibration.
Is external filtering required for EMC robustness in automotive applications?
Yes - input RC filters (RS ≤ 10Ω, CF matched to shunt L/R) are recommended to suppress high-frequency transients from motor inverters or DC/DC converters. The datasheet specifies RS ≤ 10Ω to avoid gain error; typical values are 5Ω + 100nF for 12V EPS systems, reducing EFT susceptibility while preserving 40kHz bandwidth.
