Touchstone Expands Low-Power Current-Sense Amp Line
Milpitas, CA — Touchstone Semiconductor, Inc. has added two new members of its 1µA current- sense amplifier portfolio for portable and fixed- platform applications without increasing power consumption. The unidirectional TS1102 and the bidirectional TS1103 combine a very low 1µA sup- ply current, a 200-µV (max) VOS, and very low gain error for cost-sensitive applications. Both CSAs offer a wide input common-mode
voltage range from 2V to 25V and each is available in four gain options: 25V/V, 50V/V, 100V/V and 200V/V. The low input offset voltage performance exhibited by these two new CSAs enables design engineers to achieve improved accuracy and reduced current-sense resistor expense without increasing the power consumption. This makes them suitable for portable applications where form factor and cost are important. According to the manufacturer, the current-sense amplifiers are the only ICs in the market that shatter the offset/power/price performance ceil- ing. The TS1102 is form-factor iden- tical to Maxim’s MAX9938 and the MAX9634 CSAs. Its 200-µV (max) VOS is 60 percent lower than the MAX9938’s input VOS and 20 per- cent lower than the MAX9634’s input VOS. It is also pin-for-pin to the industry-standard, 100-µV (max) VOS TS1100. The TS1103 IC is a symmetrical,
high-side current-sense amplifier and pin-for-pin to Touchstone’s industry- standard 100-µV (max) VOS TS1101 announced in March of this year. The TS1103’s symmetrical architecture eliminates the load current “dead band” when switching from measur- ing battery discharge to measuring battery charge. This significantly simplifies customer designs while reducing power, saving board space and improving system accuracy. The TS1103 is self-powered and provides
Profile Iselin, NJ — TDK Corporation has published an updated Product Profile covering EPCOS surge arresters and switching spark gaps. In addition to information included previously regarding surge arresters and switching spark gaps. The 76-page brochure provides
the following new information on surge arresters: 2-electrode arresters in SMD case S20, S30, S50 and S80 series; 2-electrode EHV series for high-voltage applica- tions; 3-electrode arresters in SMD case (TQ90 series); arrester stack of the LN8 series for DC applications; protection of Ethernet inter- faces and PSpice modeling of surge arresters.

options make these an ideal choice for low current, high-side current-sensing amplification. This includes applications such as battery-powered and portable devices, including mobile phones, notebook computers, power management systems, motor con- trol, load protection, current-shunt measurement and smart battery packs and chargers. Key specifications: 1µA ultra low supply cur-
rent; +2V to +25V input common mode range; 200µV (max) input offset voltage; gain error: 0.5 percent (max) TS1102; 0.6 percent (max) TS1103; four gain options available, voltage output; 5-Pin SOT23
Low-power current-sense amplifier. The combination of a small form factor (SOT23-
