Design a Custom BoardAbout This Component
High-precision current monitor IC that measures current across a low-side sense resistor with 0.5% accuracy. Operates from single or dual supplies and outputs a proportional voltage suitable for analog-to-digital conversion or direct measurement. Commonly used in power management, battery charging, and load monitoring applications.
Package: SOT-23-5 · 5 pins
Why does this need a breakout?
This 0.95 mm pitch SMD package is incompatible with breadboards and difficult to hand-solder. A breakout board brings the five pins to standard 0.1″ spacing, enabling rapid prototyping without reflow equipment. Essential for evaluating precision analog ICs like current-sense amplifiers in development circuits.
