ZXCT1023
MICROPOWER FIXED GAIN OF 50 CURRENT MONITOR
Description
The ZXCT1023 is a precision high-side current sense
monitor. Using this type of device eliminates the need to
disrupt the ground plane when sensing a load current.
The ZXCT1023 has a fixed internal gain of 50 and the only
external component required is the external current sense
resistor; this combined with its 1.2mm x 1.8mm TDFN
package more than quarters the solution size of the
ZXCT1010.
The wide input voltage range of 20V down to as low as
2.5V makes it suitable for a range of applications.
The combination of operation down to 2.5V and just 3.5µA
quiescent current makes it ideal for single cell
Li-Ion/polymer battery charge/discharge measurement
applications.

These are stress ratings only. Operation outside the absolute maximum ratings may cause device failure. Operation at the absolute
maximum rating for extended periods may reduce device reliability.
Semiconductor devices are ESD sensitive and may be damaged by exposure to ESD events. Suitable ESD precautions should be taken
when handling and transporting these devices.
Notes:
1. Measured with respect to GND pin
2. Subject to absolute maximum V
SENSE
not being exceeded.
3. V
SENSE
is defined as the voltage difference across the sense resistor, R
S
.
4. The usable V
SENSE
range is limited by the output voltage range; and as such will be reduced at lower V
S+
values.
