Step Response
The LTC
6101/LTC6101HV are versatile, high voltage, high
side current sense amplifiers. Design flexibility is provided
by the excellent device characteristics; 300
V Max offset
and only 375
A (typical at 60V) of current consumption.
The LTC6101 operates on supplies from 4V to 60V and
LTC6101HV operates on supplies from 5V to 100V.
The LTC6101 monitors current via the voltage across an
external sense resistor (shunt resistor). Internal circuitry
converts input voltage to output current, allowing for a small
sense signal on a high common mode voltage to be trans-
lated into a ground referenced signal. 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 reduced.
The wide operating supply range and high accuracy make
the LTC6101 ideal for a large array of applications from
automotive to industrial and power management. A maxi-
mum input sense voltage of 500mV allows a wide range of
currents to be monitored. The fast response makes the
LTC6101 the perfect choice for load current warnings and
shutoff protection control. With very low supply current,
the LTC6101 is suitable for power sensitive applications.
The LTC6101 is available in 5-lead SOT-23 and 8-lead
MSOP packages.

Figure 1. LTC6101/LTC6101HV Block Diagram and Typical Connection
The LTC6101 high side current sense amplifier (Figure 1)
provides accurate monitoring of current through a user-
selected sense resistor. The sense voltage is amplified by
a user-selected gain and level shifted from the positive
power supply to a ground-referred output. The output
signal is analog and may be used as is or processed with
an output filter.
Theory of Operation
An internal sense amplifier loop forces IN
to have the
same potential as IN
+
. Connecting an external resistor,
R
IN
, between IN
and V
+
forces a potential across R
IN
that
is the same as the sense voltage across R
SENSE
. A corre-
sponding current, V
SENSE
/R
IN
, will flow through R
IN
. The
high impedance inputs of the sense amplifier will not
conduct this input current, so it will flow through an
internal MOSFET to the output pin.
The output current can be transformed into a voltage by
adding a resistor from OUT to V

Selection of External Current Sense Resistor
The external sense resistor, R
SENSE
, has a significant
effect on the function of a current sensing system and
must be chosen with care.
First, the power dissipation in the resistor should be
considered. The system load current will cause both heat
and voltage loss in R
SENSE
. As a result, the sense resistor
should be as small as possible while still providing the
input dynamic range required by the measurement. Note
that input dynamic range is the difference between the
maximum input signal and the minimum accurately repro-
duced signal, and is limited primarily by input DC offset of
the internal amplifier of the LTC6101. In addition, R
SENSE
must be small enough that V
SENSE
does not exceed the
maximum input voltage specified by the LTC6101, even
under peak load conditions. As an example, an application
may require that the maximum sense voltage be 100mV.
If this application is expected to draw 2A at peak load,
R
SENSE
should be no more than 50m
.
Once the maximum R
SENSE
value is determined, the mini-
mum sense resistor value will be set by the resolution or
dynamic range required. The minimum signal that can be
accurately represented by this sense amp is limited by the
input offset. As an example, the LTC6101B has a typical
input offset of 150
V. If the minimum current is 20mA, a
sense resistor of 7.5m
will set V
SENSE
to 150
V. This is
the same value as the input offset. A larger sense resistor
will reduce the error due to offset by increasing the sense
voltage for a given load current.
Choosing a 50m
R
SENSE
will maximize the dynamic
range and provide a system that has 100mV across the
sense resistor at peak load (2A), while input offset causes
an error equivalent to only 3mA of load current.
Peak dissipation is 200mW. If a 5m
sense resistor is
employed, then the effective current error is 30mA, while
the peak sense voltage is reduced to 10mV at 2A, dissipat-
ing only 20mW.
The low offset and corresponding large dynamic range of
the LTC6101 make it more flexible than other solutions in
this respect. The 150
V typical offset gives 60dB of
dynamic range for a sense voltage that is limited to 150mV
max, and over 70dB of dynamic range if the rated input
maximum of 500mV is allowed.
Sense Resistor Connection
Kelvin connection of the IN
and IN
+
inputs to the sense
resistor should be used in all but the lowest power appli-
cations. Solder connections and PC board interconnec-
tions that carry high current can cause significant error in
measurement due to their relatively large resistances. One
10mm x 10mm square trace of one-ounce copper is
approximately 0.5m
. A 1mV error can be caused by as
little as 2A flowing through this small interconnect. This
will cause a 1% error in a 100mV signal. A 10A load current
in the same interconnect will cause a 5% error for the same
100mV signal. By isolating the sense traces from the high-
current paths, this error can be reduced by orders of
magnitude. A sense resistor with integrated Kelvin sense
terminals will give the best results. Figure 2 illustrates the
recommended method.

Selection of External Input Resistor, R
IN
The external input resistor, R
IN
, controls the transcon-
ductance of the current sense circuit. Since I
OUT
= V
SENSE
/
R
IN
, transconductance g
m
= 1/R
IN
. For example, if R
IN
=
100, then I
OUT
= V
SENSE
/100 or I
OUT
= 1mA for V
SENSE
=
100mV.
R
IN
should be chosen to allow the required resolution while
limiting the output current. At low supply voltage, I
OUT
may
be as much as 1mA. By setting R
IN
such that the largest
expected sense voltage gives I
OUT
= 1mA, then the maxi-
mum output dynamic range is available. Output dynamic
range is limited by both the maximum allowed output
current and the maximum allowed output voltage, as well
as the minimum practical output signal. If less dynamic
range is required, then R
IN
can be increased accordingly,
reducing the max output current and power dissipation.
If low sense currents must be resolved accurately in a
system that has very wide dynamic range, a smaller R
IN
than
the max current spec allows may be used if the max
current is limited in another way, such as with a Schottky
diode across R
SENSE
(Figure 3a). This will reduce the high
current measurement accuracy by limiting the result, while
increasing the low current measurement resolution.

Figure 3a. Shunt Diode Limits Maximum Input Voltage to Allow
Better Low Input Resolution Without Overranging
This approach can be helpful in cases where occasional
large burst currents may be ignored. It can also be used in
a multirange configuration where a low current circuit is
added to a high current circuit (Figure 3b). Note that a
comparator (LTC1540) is used to select the range, and
transistor M1 limits the voltage across R
SENSE LO
.
Care should be taken when designing the board layout for
R
IN,
especially for small R
IN
values. All trace and intercon-
nect impedances will increase the effective R
IN
value,
causing a gain error. In addition, internal device resistance
will add approximately 0.2
to R
IN
.

Selection of External Output Resistor, R
OUT
The output resistor, R
OUT
, determines how the output
current is converted to voltage. V
OUT
is simply I
OUT
R
OUT
.
In choosing an output resistor, the max output voltage
must first be considered. If the circuit that is driven by the
output does not limit the output voltage, then R
OUT
must
be chosen such that the max output voltage does not
exceed the LTC6101 max output voltage rating. If the
following circuit is a buffer or ADC with limited input range,
then R
OUT
must be chosen so that I
OUT(MAX)
R
OUT
is less
than the allowed maximum input range of this circuit.
In addition, the output impedance is determined by R
OUT
.
If the circuit to be driven has high enough input imped-
ance, then almost any useful output impedance will be
acceptable. However, if the driven circuit has relatively low
input impedance, or draws spikes of current, such as an
ADC might do, then a lower R
OUT
value may be required in
order to preserve the accuracy of the output. As an
example, if the input impedance of the driven circuit is 100
times R
OUT
, then the accuracy of V
OUT
will be reduced by
1% since:

Error Sources
The current sense system uses an amplifier and resistors
to apply gain and level shift the result. The output is then
dependent on the characteristics of the amplifier, such as
gain and input offset, as well as resistor matching.

In this case, the only error is due to resistor mismatch,
which provides an error in gain only. However, offset
voltage, bias current and finite gain in the amplifier cause
additional errors:

The DC offset voltage of the amplifier adds directly to the
value of the sense voltage, V

error of the system and it limits the available dynamic
range. The paragraph "Selection of External Current Sense
Resistor" provides details.

If the offset current, I

the 100 microvolt error above is reduced to 2 microvolts.

of the circuit. For less sensitive designs, R

The output error due to DC offset is
900Volts (typ) and
the error due to offset current, I

is 3k x 2nA =
6Volts
(typical), provided R
IN

The maximum output error can therefore reach
906Volts
or 0.03% (70dB) of the output full scale. Considering the
system input 60dB dynamic range (I
SENSE
= 1mA to 1A),
the 70dB performance of the LTC6101 makes this applica-
tion feasible.

Gain, A

This errors is inconsequential as the A

of the LTC6101
is very large.
Output Current Limitations Due to Power Dissipation
The LTC6101 can deliver up to 1mA continuous current to
the output pin. This current flows through R
IN
and enters
the current sense amp via the IN() pin. The power
dissipated in the LTC6101 due to the output signal is:

Since V

There is also power dissipated due to the quiescent supply
current:
P

+
The total power dissipated is the output dissipation plus
the quiescent dissipation:
P
TOTAL
= P
OUT
+ P
Q
At maximum supply and maximum output current, the
total power dissipation can exceed 100mW. This will
cause significant heating of the LTC6101 die. In order to
prevent damage to the LTC6101, the maximum expected
dissipation in each application should be calculated. This
number can be multiplied by the
JA
value listed in the
package section on page 2 to find the maximum expected
die temperature. This must not be allowed to exceed
150
C, or performance may be degraded.
As an example, if an LTC6101 in the S5 package is to be run
at 55V

If this same circuit must run at 125

and therefore P
Q
, is proportional to temperature. Refer to
Typical Performance Characteristics section.) In this con-
dition, the maximum output current should be reduced to
avoid device damage. Note that the MSOP package has a
larger
JA
than the S5, so additional care must be taken
when operating the LTC6101A/LTC6101HVA at high tem-
peratures and high output currents.
The LTC6101HV can be used at voltages up to 105V. This
additional voltage requires that more power be dissipated
for a given level of current. This will further limit the
allowed output current at high ambient temperatures.
It is important to note that the LTC6101 has been designed
to provide at least 1mA to the output when required, and
can deliver more depending on the conditions. Care must

Output Filtering
The output voltage, V

filtering straightforward. Any circuit may be used which
generates the required Z

to get the desired filter
response. For example, a capacitor in parallel with R
OUT
will give a low pass response. This will reduce unwanted
noise from the output, and may also be useful as a charge
reservoir to keep the output steady while driving a switch-
ing circuit such as a mux or ADC. This output capacitor in
parallel with an output resistor will create a pole in the
output response at:

Reverse Supply Protection
Some applications may be tested with reverse-polarity
supplies due to an expectation of this type of fault during
operation. The LTC6101 is not protected internally from
external reversal of supply polarity. To prevent damage
that may occur during this condition, a Schottky diode
should be added in series with V
(Figure 7). This will limit
the reverse current through the LTC6101. Note that this
diode will limit the low voltage performance of the LTC6101
by effectively reducing the supply voltage to the part by V
D
.
In addition, if the output of the LTC6101 is wired to a device
that will effectively short it to high voltage (such as
through an ESD protection clamp) during a reverse supply
condition, the LTC6101's output should be connected
through a resistor or Schottky diode (Figure 8).
Response Time
The LTC6101 is designed to exhibit fast response to inputs
for the purpose of circuit protection or signal transmis-
sion. This response time will be affected by the external
circuit in two ways, delay and speed.
If the output current is very low and an input transient
occurs, there may be an increased delay before the output
voltage begins changing. This can be improved by in-
creasing the minimum output current, either by increasing
R
SENSE
or decreasing R
IN
. The effect of increased output
current is illustrated in the step response curves in the
Typical Performance Characteristics section of this
datasheet. Note that the curves are labeled with respect to
the initial output currents.
The speed is also affected by the external circuit. In this
case, if the input changes very quickly, the internal ampli-
fier will slew the gate of the internal output FET (Figure 1)
in order to maintain the internal loop. This results in
current flowing through R
IN
and the internal FET. This
current slew rate will be determined by the amplifier and
FET characteristics as well as the input resistor, R
IN
. Using
a smaller R
IN
will allow the output current to increase more
quickly, decreasing the response time at the output. This
will also have the effect of increasing the maximum output
current. Using a larger R
OUT
will decrease the response
time, since V
OUT
= I
OUT
R
OUT
. Reducing R
IN
and increas-
ing R
OUT
will both have the effect of increasing the voltage
gain of the circuit.
