HIGH-SIDE CURRENT MONITOR WITH COMPARATOR
OBSOLETE – PART DISCONTINUED
Description
Pin Assignments
The ZXCT1030 is a high side current sense monitor
containing an internal reference and comparator with a nonlatching output. Using this device eliminates the need to
disrupt the ground plane when sensing a load current.
The wide input voltage range of 20V down to as low as 2.2V
make it suitable for a range of applications. Dynamics and
supply current are optimized for the processing of fast pulses,
associated with switch mode applications.

Voltage output current monitor
Referring to the block diagram, the current monitor takes the small voltage developed across the sense resistor (VSENSE)
and transfers it from the large common mode supply voltage to a ground referenced signal with a gain of 10. The sense
input common mode range is 2.2V to 20V. In this range, a linear output voltage is delivered.
Reference
The bandgap reference allows the comparator to compare the translated VSENSE with threshold value chosen by the user
which can be any voltage from 0 to 1.24V, configured by two external resistors which forms VCOMP_IN.
The output current which can be drawn from the comparator reference (IREF source) is limited to 5μA, making
potentiometers ≥250kΩ suitable for setting a threshold level. Where a lower potentiometer resistor value is used, an
additional resistor value should be inserted between VREF and VCC to maintain sufficient current for the reference.
(as shown in Figure 1).
Figure 1: External Resistor for Reference Level
The voltage reference has a maximum current sink capability. This magnitude of current will be influenced by the value of
R1 which is inserted between VREF and VCC. The value of current flowing through R1 can be expressed as:
I = (VCC -VREF) / R1
Comparator
The open collector output is active low and is asserted when VSENSE x 10 (VOUT) > VCOMP_IN. It can be connected to any
voltage rail up to VIN via a pull-up resistor. Suggest values for the resistor are in the range of 10-100kΩ.
In the case where high load currents or a short circuit occurs, thus reducing the common mode signals (V+, V-) typically
below 2.2V, the comparator will default to the asserted state. This can eliminate a closed loop system 'latch-up' condition,
allowing the controller to remove the applied power.
Stability
To ensure stable operation of the ZXCT1030, it is recommended a decoupling capacitor is placed across the VCC and
ground connections. A ceramic 10µF will be adequate.
