Description
The TSC103 measures a small differential voltage
on a high-side shunt resistor and translates it into
a ground-referenced output voltage. The gain is
adjustable to four different values from 20 V/V up
to 100 V/V by two selection pins.
Wide input common-mode voltage range, low
quiescent current, and tiny TSSOP8 packaging
enable use in a wide variety of applications.

The input common-mode and power-supply
voltages are independent. The common-mode
voltage can range from 2.9 to 70 V in the single-
supply configuration or be offset by an adjustable
voltage supplied on the Vcc- pin in the dual-
supply configuration.
With a current consumption lower than 360 µA
and a virtually null input leakage current in
standby mode, the power consumption in the
applications is minimized.
