FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
Very Wide,Over-the-Top®, Input Common Mode Range
The LT®6105 is a micropower, precision current sense
amplifier with a very wide input common mode range.
The LT6105 monitors unidirectional current via the volt-
age across an external sense resistor. The input common
mode range extends from –0.3V to 44V, with respect to

to operate as a high side current sense monitor or a low
side current sense monitor. It also allows the LT6105 to
monitor current on a negative supply voltage, as well as
continuouslymonitorabatteryfromfullchargetodepletion.
The inputs of LT6105 can withstand differential voltages
up to 44V, which makes it ideal for monitoring a fuse or
MOSFET switch.
Gain is configured with external resistors from 1V/V to
100V/V. The input common mode rejection and power

voltage is less than 300μV. A typical slew rate of 2V/μs
ensures fast response to unexpected current changes.
