Automotive-Compliant Current Shunt Monitors from Diodes Incorporated Enable High-Precision Voltage Sensing for Rapid System Fault Detection
The ZXCT180Q current monitor supports unidirectional current measurement, whereas the ZXCT181Q also supports bidirectional flow. The ZXCT180Q has two pin assignment configurations—versions A and B—with its OUT-pin at different locations, allowing flexibility during PCB layout. When the ZXCT181Q is used for bidirectional current sensing, such as those found in battery management systems, a voltage is introduced to the REF-pin. This action serves to offset the output voltage. For unidirectional current flow, the REF-pin of the ZXCT181Q is tied to GND.
The ZXCT18xQ series has four fixed voltage gain options—20V/V, 50V/V, 100V/V, and 200V/V. These devices measure voltages across shunts at common-mode voltages from -0.3V to 26V, independent of the supply voltage with a maximum supply current of 370µA. They support small-signal bandwidths as high as 400kHz at 20V/V and fast large-signal slew rates of 2V/µs. These capabilities enable them to detect rapid changes in the sensed current as well as quickly slew the output for applications that require a quick response to input current changes.
The launch of the ZXCT18xQ series strengthens Diodes’ 26V power rail current monitoring portfolio. It complements the previously released ZXCT199Q and the ZXCT21xQ series, which support highly precise high- and low-side current sensing across sense voltages down to 10mV.
All versions of the ZXCT18xQ series are specified for an operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.
The ZXCT180Q and ZXCT181Q are available at
