LTC6104
High Voltage, High Side,
Bi-Directional Current
Sense Amplifier
DESCRIPTION
The LTC
®
6104 is a versatile, high voltage, high side, bi-
directional current sense amplifier. Design flexibility is
provided by the excellent device characteristics: ±450µV
maximum offset and only 520µA of current consumption
(typical at 12V). The LTC6104 operates on supplies from
4V to 60V.
The LTC6104 monitors bi-directional current via the voltage
across an external sense resistor (shunt resistor). This
sense voltage is then translated into a ground referenced
signal. Gain is set with three external resistors and can
be separately configured for both directions. Low DC
offset allows the use of a small shunt resistor and large
gain-setting resistors. As a result, power loss in the shunt
is minimal.
The wide operating supply range and high accuracy make
the LTC6104 ideal for a wide variety of automotive, industrial
and power management applications. A maximum input
sense voltage of 500mV allows a wide range of currents
to be monitored. The fast response makes the LTC6104
the perfect choice for load current warnings and shutoff
protection control. With very low supply current, the
LTC6104 is suitable for power sensitive applications.
The LTC6104 is available in an 8-lead MSOP package.

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:
The LTC6104C is guaranteed to meet specified performance from
0°C to 70°C. The LTC6104C is designed, characterized and expected to
meet specified performance from –40°C to 85°C but are not tested or QA
sampled at these temperatures. LTC6104I is guaranteed to meet specified
performance from –40°C to 85°C. The LTC6104H is guaranteed to meet
specified performance from –40°C to 125°C.
Note 3:
V
SENSE(MAX)
is tested by applying 550mV and verifying the gain
error is less than 1%. The 1% limit is set by the accuracy of high speed
test equipment. Gain error is typically dominated by external resistor
tolerance.
Note 4:
When amplifier A is active and amplifier B is inactive, the gain
error is entirely due to the external resistors R
IN
and R
OUT
. When amplifier
A is inactive and amplifier B is active, there is an additional gain error from
the LTC6104 current mirror circuit. This error term is the gain error term,
I
OUT-GAINERR
plus the offset error term, I
OUT-OSERR
.
