that incorporates a precision current sense amplifier, an
integrated voltage reference and a comparator. Two ver-
sions of the LT6108 are available. The LT6108-1 has a
latching comparator and the LT6108-2 has a non-latching
comparator. In addition, the current sense amplifier and
comparator inputs and outputs are directly accessible. The
amplifier gain and comparator trip point are configured
by external resistors. The open-drain comparator output
allows for easy interface to other system components.
The overall propagation delay of the LT6108 is typically only
1.4µs, allowing for quick reaction to overcurrent condi-
tions. The 1MHz bandwidth allows the LT6108 to be used
for error detection in critical applications such as motor
control. The high threshold accuracy of the comparator,
combined with the ability to latch the comparator, ensures
the LT6108 can capture high speed events.
The LT6108 is fully specified for operation from –40°C to
125°C, making it suitable for industrial and automotive
applications. The LT6108 is available in the small 8-lead
MSOP and 8-lead DFN packages.

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 LT6108I is guaranteed to meet specified performance from
–40°C to 85°C. LT6108H is guaranteed to meet specified performance
from –40°C to 125°C.
Note 4:
Supply current is specified with the comparator output high. When
the comparator output goes low the supply current will increase by 75µA
typically.
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:
The specified gain error does not include the effect 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
