RT6050/RT6052
High-Side Measurement Current Shunt Monitor with Comparator
General Description
The RT6050/RT6052 devices are high-side currentshunt 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.
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.
The RT6050/RT6052 is available in a small 8-pins MSOP package.
