Description

The ZXCT1012 is a high side current sense monitor. Using this type of device eliminates the need to disrupt the ground plane when sensing a load current.

The ZXCT1012 takes the voltage developed across a small value resistor and translates it into a proportional output current. A user defined output resistor scales the output current into a ground referenced voltage.
