With a gain-bandwidth product of 1.3 MHz, this amplifier supports DC and low-frequency AC current monitoring — adequate for load current, battery charge/discharge, and motor phase current sensing where the bandwidth of interest is below a few hundred kilohertz. The 100 µV input offset voltage sets the floor for the minimum measurable shunt voltage; at a 10 mΩ shunt, that offset corresponds to a 10 mA zero-current error, which must be budgeted in the system accuracy calculation. The slew rate of 2.5 V/µs limits the output rise time for large-signal steps. For a 2 V output swing, the rise time is approximately 0.8 µs, which is fast enough for overcurrent detection in most automotive loads but not for sub-microsecond fault response.
Supply current and package — board-level fit
Quiescent supply current is 1.5 mA typical — moderate for a current-sense amplifier, not a low-power part. The device is available in a 5-pin SOT-23-5 (SC-74A) package, a small footprint that fits space-constrained automotive modules such as battery management systems, motor controllers, and solenoid drivers. Surface-mount assembly is standard; no exposed thermal pad, so power dissipation is limited to the package's junction-to-ambient thermal resistance.
For production programs requiring a qualified automotive-grade current-sense amplifier, this part is a stable, long-availability choice.
