RT6050/RT6052
High-Side Measurement Current Shunt Monitor with
Comparator
General Description
Features
⚫ High Accuracy Current Sensing :
⚫ 3.5% Maximum Error Over Temperature
⚫ 2.9V to 18V Power-Supply Range
⚫ Two Gain Options Available
RT6050 = 20V/V
The RT6050/RT6052 devices are high-side current-
shunt monitors which contain a current-sense amplifier,
bandgap reference, and a comparator with latching
output. The RT6050/RT6052 senses drops across
shunts at common-mode voltages from 2V to 80V. The
RT6050/RT6052 series supports two output voltage
scales : 20V/V, and 100V/V.
RT6052 = 100V/V
⚫ Common-Mode Range : 2V to 80V
⚫ 0.6V Internal Voltage Reference
⚫ Internal Open-Drain Comparator
⚫ Latching Capability on Comparator
⚫ Packages : MSOP-8
The RT6050 and RT6052 build in an open-drain
comparator and internal reference providing a 0.6V
threshold. External dividers set the current trip point.
The comparator features a latching capability, that can
be made easily by grounding (or leaving open) the
RESET pin.
