Description
The LT®6118 is a complete high side current sense device
that incorporates a precision current sense amplifier, an
integrated voltage reference and a latching comparator.
The comparator latch functionality can be enabled or
disabled and the comparator can be configured to reset
upon power-on. The input and the open-drain output of
the comparator are independent from the current sense
amplifier. The comparator trip point and amplifier gain are
configured with external resistors.
The overall propagation delay of the LT6118 is typically only
1.4µs, allowing for quick reaction to overcurrent condi-
tions. The 1MHz bandwidth allows the LT6118 to be used
for error detection in critical applications such as motor
control. The high threshold accuracy of the comparator,
combined with the ability to latch the comparator, ensures
the LT6118 can capture high speed events.
The LT6118 is fully specified for operation from –40°C to
125°C, making it suitable for industrial and automotive
applications. The LT6118 is available in the small 8-lead
MSOP and 8-lead DFN packages.
