ZXCT1050
Precision wide input range current monitor
Description
The ZXCT1050 is a wide input range current
monitor, which operates over a range of input
voltages from ground up to V
CC
-2V. As a
result the ZXCT1050 can be used on the high
or low side of the load.
The ZXCT1050 provides variable gain by
using two external resistors. The first of
which sets the transconductance and the
second setting the overall gain.
The very low offset voltage enables a typical
accuracy of 1% for sense voltages of only 30mV,
giving better tolerances for small sense
resistors necessary at higher currents.

Description
This is the analog supply and provides power to internal circuitry.
Ground pin.
Output pin. A resistor, R
GAIN
, connected from this pin pin down to ground
develops an output voltage.
This is the positive input of the current monitor and has an input range from
0V up to V
CC
– 2V.
This is the negative input of the current monitor and has an input range from
0V up to V
CC
– 2V. The current through this pin varies with differential sense
voltage. A resistor, R
SHUNT
, from this pin to the rail being sensed set the
transconductance of the current monitor.
