210 kHz bandwidth — what it buys the current-sense path
That covers under-hood and engine-bay environments where ambient temperatures can exceed 105°C. The SOT-23-5 package (SC-74A, SOT-753) is a standard footprint that fits into compact automotive modules like battery-monitoring boards, solenoid drivers, and DC-DC converter feedback loops. The supply current is 197 µA typical, which keeps the thermal contribution negligible in a sealed enclosure.
Input offset and bias current — what they mean for shunt selection
For a 10 mΩ shunt, 100 µV of offset translates to a 10 mA zero-current error — acceptable for a 10 A to 50 A load range but worth accounting for in a low-current measurement. The 80 µA bias current flows into the shunt, so the voltage drop it creates adds a small systematic error that can be calibrated out in firmware. These numbers are typical; the datasheet min/max columns should be checked against the application's accuracy budget.
