that incorporates a precision current sense amplifier, an
integrated voltage reference and two comparators. Two
versions of the LT6109 are available. The LT6109-1 has
the comparators connected in opposing polarity and the
LT6109-2 has the comparators connected in the same polar-
ity. In addition, the current sense amplifier and comparator
inputs and outputs are directly accessible. The amplifier
gain and comparator trip points are configured by external
resistors. The open-drain comparator outputs allows for
easy interface to other system components.
The overall propagation delay of the LT6109 is typically
only 1.4µs, allowing for quick reaction to overcurrent
and undercurrent conditions. The 1MHz bandwidth al-
lows the LT6109 to be used for error detection in critical
applications such as motor control. The high threshold
accuracy of the comparators, combined with the ability to
latch both comparators, ensures the LT6109 can capture
high speed events.
The LT6109 is fully specified for operation from –40°C to
125°C, making it suitable for industrial and automotive ap-
plications. The LT6109 is available in a small 10-lead MSOP
.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
Input and output pins have ESD diodes connected to ground. The
SENSEHI and SENSELO pins have additional current handling capability
specified as SENSEHI, SENSELO input current.
Note 3:
The LT6109I is guaranteed to meet specified performance from
–40°C to 85°C. LT6109H is guaranteed to meet specified performance
from –40°C to 125°C.
Note 4:
Supply current is specified with the comparator outputs high.
When the comparator outputs go low the supply current will increase by
75µA typically per comparator.
Note 5:
The full-scale input sense voltage and the maximum output
current must be considered to achieve the specified performance.
Note 6:
Supply voltage and input common mode voltage are varied while
amplifier input offset voltage is monitored.
Note 7:
Specified gain error does not include the effects of external
resistors R
IN
and R
OUT
. Although gain error is only guaranteed between
12V and 60V, similar performance is expected for V
+
< 12V, as well.
Note 8:
Refer to SENSELO, SENSEHI Range in the Applications
Information section for more information.
Note 9:
The input threshold voltage which causes the output voltage of the
comparator to transition from high to low is specified. The input voltage
which causes the comparator output to transition from low to high is
the magnitude of the difference between the specified threshold and the
