What this current sense amplifier does on your board
The STMicroelectronics TSC101CILT is a single-channel current sense amplifier in a SOT-23-5 package, designed to measure current by amplifying the voltage drop across a shunt resistor. It operates from a 4 V to 24 V supply span and delivers a 450 kHz bandwidth with a 0.9 V/µs slew rate, making it suitable for motor-drive, power-supply, and battery-monitoring loops where you need to feed a clean analog signal into an ADC or comparator. The 165 µA supply current keeps the quiescent draw low for always-on sense circuits, and the 60 mA output drive can source a downstream load directly.
The SOT-23-5 footprint (SC-74A case) fits tight layouts on motor-drive PCBs or battery-management boards.
Sourcing and lifecycle posture
ROHS3 compliant. No official second-source cross-reference is listed, so dual-sourcing would require qualifying a functionally similar current-sense amplifier from another vendor.
