Product details
Overview
ZXCT215QCDW-7 from Diodes Incorporated is an automotive-grade, zero-drift, high-precision current-shunt monitor with 75V/V fixed gain, ±60μV max offset voltage, and ±0.5% max gain error over -40°C to +125°C. It operates from 2.7V to 26V supply, supports -0.3V to 26V common-mode input, and delivers rail-to-rail output for ADC interfacing in high-voltage battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the ZXCT215QCDW-7 datasheet, ZXCT215QCDW-7 pinout, ZXCT215QCDW-7 application, or ZXCT215QCDW-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, 75V/V gain optimized for 10mV shunt drops, low 100μA quiescent current, and SOT363 package suitability for space-constrained automotive PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements a precision zero-drift chopper-stabilized amplifier architecture to achieve ±0.5% gain error and ±60μV offset across full automotive temperature range. Its input stage handles differential shunt voltages as low as ±5mV while rejecting common-mode signals up to 26V - enabling accurate high-side current sensing in 48V/800V EV subsystems.
The REF pin accepts externally applied bias (0V to V+) to support bidirectional current measurement, and the rail-to-rail output drives 10kΩ loads within 50mV of supply rails. Internal post-trim manufacturing ensures stable 10ppm/°C gain drift and 95dB CMRR at 26V common-mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain | 75V/V - scales 10mV shunt drop to 0.75V output, enabling high-resolution ADC sampling without external amplification |
| Offset Voltage (max) | ±60μV - contributes <0.08% error at 75mV full-scale shunt voltage, critical for sub-amp current resolution |
| Gain Error (max) | ±0.5% - guaranteed over -40°C to +125°C, eliminating calibration across thermal extremes in BMS modules |
| Common-Mode Range | -0.3V to 26V - supports direct high-side sensing on 12V/24V/48V rails without level-shifting circuitry |
| Supply Current (max) | 100μA - enables always-on monitoring in low-power vehicle body control ECUs with minimal battery drain |
| CMRR | 95dB - suppresses noise from switching regulators in ADAS power domains during high-dV/dt transients |
| Bandwidth | 40kHz - sufficient for real-time response to motor phase current changes in e-pump and e-compressor control |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-pin SOT363 (2.2mm × 2.1mm × 1.0mm), RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - REF | Analog input | Bias reference for bidirectional operation; sets output midpoint - must connect to low-impedance source (e.g., resistor divider) to avoid gain/offset errors |
| 2 - GND | Ground | Power and signal return path; requires dedicated low-inductance PCB plane connection to minimize measurement noise |
| 3 - V+ | Power supply | Single 2.7V–26V supply input; bypass capacitor (≥100nF) required adjacent to pin for stability under load transients |
| 4 - IN+ | Analog input | Connects to high-potential side of shunt resistor; sensitive to PCB trace inductance - place as close as possible to shunt |
| 5 - IN− | Analog input | Connects to low-potential side of shunt resistor; matched layout with IN+ essential to preserve CMRR and gain accuracy |
| 6 - OUT | Analog output | Voltage proportional to load current (VOUT = 75 × VSENSE + VREF); rail-to-rail swing supports direct interface with 3.3V/5V ADCs |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for automotive ambient temperatures (-40°C to +125°C) and PPAP-capable production in IATF 16949 facilities |
| Zero-drift architecture | 0.1μV/°C typical offset drift enables stable microamp-level current resolution over full life cycle without recalibration |
| 10mV full-scale shunt support | Reduces power loss in 50A–200A battery paths by minimizing I²R dissipation versus conventional 50mV+ sense resistors |
| Rail-to-rail output | Delivers 0.005V to (V+)–0.05V swing into 10kΩ load - maximizes dynamic range for 12-bit ADCs in cost-sensitive ECUs |
| Low 100μA quiescent current | Enables continuous current monitoring in always-on vehicle domains (e.g., parking mode BMS) without compromising battery standby time |
Applications
| EV Battery Management System (BMS) | Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) |

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 | 100V/V gain, ±10μV offset, 2.7V–5.5V supply only, SOIC-8 package | Limited to low-voltage systems; lacks 26V common-mode capability for high-side 48V+ monitoring | Select when supply is ≤5.5V and ultra-low offset (<±10μV) is prioritized over wide common-mode range |
| MAX40056ATA+T | 75V/V gain, ±150μV offset, 2.7V–5.5V supply, 6-pin WLP package | Higher offset degrades accuracy at low shunt voltages; not AEC-Q100 qualified | Select for non-automotive industrial applications where AEC-Q100 compliance is unnecessary and board area is constrained |
Compared with INA240A1QDRQ1 and MAX40056ATA+T, ZXCT215QCDW-7 uniquely combines AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, 26V common-mode tolerance, and ±0.5% gain error in a compact SOT363 - making it the only option qualified for high-side current sensing in 48V+ automotive subsystems requiring long-term stability without recalibration.

FAQ
What is the maximum common-mode voltage the ZXCT215QCDW-7 can handle?
The ZXCT215QCDW-7 supports a common-mode input voltage range of -0.3V to 26V. This allows direct high-side current sensing on 12V, 24V, and 48V automotive rails without external level-shifting circuitry. The device maintains specified gain accuracy and CMRR across this full range at temperatures from -40°C to +125°C.
Can the ZXCT215QCDW-7 be used for bidirectional current sensing?
Yes - bidirectional operation is enabled by applying a bias voltage to the REF pin, typically set to half the supply voltage (e.g., 2.5V for 5V V+). This centers the output voltage, allowing positive and negative shunt voltage swings to produce corresponding output deviations above and below the REF level, essential for battery charge/discharge monitoring in BMS.
What is the significance of the 'C' suffix in ZXCT215QCDW-7?
The 'C' denotes the highest accuracy grade: ±0.5% maximum gain error and ±60μV maximum offset voltage over -40°C to +125°C. This grade uses post-trim manufacturing and zero-drift architecture to achieve tighter tolerances than 'A' (±0.8%) or 'B' (±0.8%) versions, making it suitable for ASIL-B–compliant automotive functions.
Does the ZXCT215QCDW-7 require external filtering for EMC robustness?
Input filtering is recommended in noisy environments: series resistors ≤10Ω at IN+ and IN− pins, paired with matching capacitors, mitigate RF interference and shunt inductance effects. Exceeding 10Ω introduces gain error due to internal bias current mismatch; the device's 40kHz bandwidth inherently filters higher-frequency noise without additional components in most applications.
