1.3 MHz bandwidth, 15 µV offset — what they mean for shunt-based current sensing
Its 1.3 MHz -3 dB bandwidth covers the switching frequencies of most DC-DC converters and motor-drive PWM stages, so you get a faithful reproduction of the current waveform rather than a filtered average. The 15 µV input offset voltage sets the floor on the minimum shunt voltage you can resolve — at a 10 mΩ shunt, that offset corresponds to 1.5 mA of apparent current error, which matters for low-current monitoring in battery-powered or precision-load applications. Supply range spans 2.7 V to 20 V, letting it run directly off a 3.3 V, 5 V, or 12 V rail without an extra LDO.
Slew rate and response time for overcurrent detection
The 2.5 V/µs slew rate determines how fast the output can swing when a fault current appears. For a 10 mΩ shunt and a 50 A step, the output jumps 500 mV; at 2.5 V/µs, the output reaches that level in 200 ns — fast enough to trigger a comparator or ADC interrupt before the current exceeds the silicon limit. If your application needs sub-microsecond fault response, this part keeps the signal chain tight.
