.
(b) Subject to absolute maximum V
SENSE
not being exceeded.
(c) V
SENSE
is defined as the voltage difference across the sense resistor. and is the voltage across resistor R
SH
plus the
voltage between S+ and S-.
(d) V
SENSE
might need to be reduced when used with smaller values of R
SH
and at larger rails due to increased power dissipation.

Name
Pin function
1
S+
Positive sense input. Should be tied to positive side of sense resistor via
resistance (R
SH
) of the order of 150
⍀ to 1.5k⍀.
2
GND
Ground and substrate connection of device.
3
OUT
Current output. A gain setting resistor (R
G
) referenced to GND should be
connected to this pin to set overall voltage gain of:
Gain = R
G
/R
SH
The resistance, R
G
, placed on out will set the ZXCT1020 output impedance equal
to R
G
. When driving low impedance loads both R
G
and R
SH
should be reduced.
4
V
B
Input voltage pin. Provides bias to current monitor and should be tied to the
rail whose current is being monitored.
