ZXCT1020 ZXCT1020 Low offset current output current monitor Description The ZXCT1020 is a precision high-side current Current output enables the user to set the gain sense monitor. Using this type of device via these external resistors. Using two external eliminates the need to disrupt the ground resistors to set the gain ensures optimal plane when sensing a load current. versatility as the transconductance can be varied to meet the output impedance requirements of The ZXCT1020 uses two external resistors to the load that the ZXCT1020 has to drive. set the overall voltage gain for applications where improved accuracy at small sense The very low offset voltage enables a typical voltages is required. For fixed gain variants accuracy of 3% for sense voltages of only 10mV, Zetex offers the ZXCT1021 (G=10) and giving better tolerances for small sense ZXCT1022 (G=100). resistors necessary at higher currents. The ZXCT1020 footprint follows that of the The wide input voltage range of 20V down to as ZXCT1021/2 with only 2 additional resistors low as 2.5V make it suitable for a range of required: applications. With a minimum operating current of just 25A, combined with its SOT23-5 One resistor between pins 1 and 4 for setting package make it suitable for portable battery transconductance, and the other between equipment too. pins 3 and 2 for setting overall gain.
