LT6118IMS8#PBF

Current Regulation/Management Overview

The LT6118IMS8#PBF is a high-side current sense amplifier manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It integrates a precision amplifier, a voltage reference, and a comparator with power-on reset (POR) capability in an 8-lead MSOP package. The device supports supply voltages from 2.7V to 60V and features an open-drain output capable of sourcing up to 100mA per channel. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Current Regulation/Management Feature Summary

• Integrates a high-side current sense amplifier with a built-in voltage reference and a comparator featuring power-on reset functionality.
• Provides an open-drain output stage capable of driving loads up to 100mA, facilitating direct interface with microcontrollers or logic circuits.

Current Regulation/Management Applications

• High-side current monitoring in industrial automation systems
• Battery management and protection circuits
• Overcurrent detection in power distribution units

Current Regulation/Management Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix IMS8#PBF against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to confirm pinout and electrical characteristics match your design requirements. Ensure the operating voltage does not exceed the 60V maximum rating. Confirm that the open-drain output configuration aligns with your system's pull-up resistor strategy.

Current Regulation/Management Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact solution for high-side sensing is required without external reference components. The integrated comparator simplifies overcurrent protection designs. Consider the 60V input range and 100mA output drive capability as key differentiators for applications requiring robust fault handling and wide voltage operation.

Current Regulation/Management Part Context

This part belongs to the LT6118 family of current sense amplifiers. It is distinct from single-channel variants like the LT6119-1 and offers higher output drive than standard low-power sense amps. The MSOP package provides a space-efficient footprint for dense PCB layouts compared to larger packages.

Current Regulation/Management Replacement Considerations

LT6119-1IMS8#PBF: Single-channel variant with similar specifications but lacks the dual-channel architecture. LT6118HMS8#PBF: Higher performance version with improved accuracy and lower offset voltage, suitable for precision applications requiring tighter tolerances.
