ZXCT1009
HIGH-SIDE CURRENT MONITOR
Description
The ZXCT1009 is a high side current sense monitor. Using
this device eliminates the need to disrupt the ground plane
when sensing a load current.
It takes a high side voltage developed across a current shunt
resistor and translates it into a proportional output current. A
user defined output resistor scales the output current into a
ground-referenced voltage.
The wide input voltage range of 20V down to as low as 2.5V
make it suitable for a range of applications. A minimum
operating current of just 4µA, combined with a SOT23
package make it a unique solution for portable battery
equipment. The SM8 device offers an alternative package
option.

Power Dissipation
The maximum allowable power dissipation of the device for
normal operation (P
MAX
), is a function of the package junction to
ambient thermal resistance (θ
JA
), maximum junction temperature
(T
JMAX
), and ambient temperature (T
AMB
), according to the
expression:
P
MAX
= (T
JMAX
– T
AMB
) /
θ

The device power dissipation, P

Application Information
The following text describes how to scale a load current
to an output voltage.
V
SENSE
= V
IN
- V
LOAD
1
V
OUT
= 0.01 x V
SENSE
x R
OUT
E.g.
A 1A current is to be represented by a 100mV output
voltage:
1) Choose the value of R
SENSE
to give 50mV >
V
SENSE
> 500mV at full load.
For example V
SENSE
= 100mV at 1.0A.
R
SENSE
= 0.1/1.0 => 0.1Ω.
2) Choose R
OUT
to give V
OUT
= 100mV, when
V
SENSE
= 100mV.
Rearranging
1
for Rout gives:
R
OUT
= V
OUT
/(V
SENSE
x 0.01)
R
OUT
= 0.1 / (0.1 x 0.01) = 100Ω

Li-Ion Charger Circuit
Transient Protection
An additional resistor, R
LIM
can be added in series with R
OUT
(as below), to limit the current from I
OUT
. Any circuit
connected to V
OUT
will be protected from input voltage
transients. This can be of particular use in automotive
applications where load dump and other common transients
need to be considered.

The above figure shows the ZXCT1009 supporting the
Benchmarq bq2954 Charge Management IC. Most of the
support components for the bq2954 are omitted for clarity.
This design also uses the Diodes FZT789A high current
Super-ß PNP as the switching transistor in the DC-DC step
down converter and the FMMT451 as the drive NPN for the
FZT789A. The circuit can be configured to charge up to four
Li-Ion cells at a charge current of 1.25A. Charge can be
terminated on maximum voltage, selectable minimum
current, or maximum time out. Switching frequency of the
PWM loop is approximately 120kHz.
The ZXCT1009 is intended as a direct functional
replacement for the ZDS1009, which is featured in a
complete design from Unitrode/Texas Instruments on the
Li-Ion
charger
circuit
shown
above.
