DESCRIPTION 

The ZXCT1041EV1 is intended for the evaluation of the 
ZXCT1041 device.  The ZXCT1041  is a high side bi-
directional  current monitor providing a fixed voltage gain 
of 10. 
 The device produces a voltage output proportional to the 
current sampled by a small inline sensing resistor, R

sense

.   

The voltage output is scaled by the choice of  R

sense

. As 

delivered the board is set up to provide an out put of 1.5V 
from a current of 1.5A using a 100 m

  sampling resistor. 

  

 
There is a second 25 m

  resistor that can be selected 

by means of a solder link and provides an output of 
1.5V for a load current of 6A. 
Additionally provision is made for a wire ended 
sampling resistor  of the users choice.  An open 
collector flag output    indicates the direction of current 
flow.    
 
The printed circuit board is common to other devices in 
the ZXCT family, for the ZXCT1041, the Vcc pin is not 
used. 
 

 

FEATURES 

 

Supply Range 4.2 to 20V for 1.5V output.
