LTC6101HVAHMS8#PBF (LINEAR TECHNOLOGY)

The LTC6101HVAHMS8#PBF is a versatile high voltage high side Current Sense Amplifier for battery monitoring and remote sensing. Design flexibility is provided by the excellent device characteristics, 300µV Maximum offset and only 375µA (typical at 60V) of current consumption. The LTC6101HV operates on supplies from 5 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 translated 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. A maximum 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.
