It senses current across a shunt resistor and outputs a voltage proportional to the load current, making it the part you reach for when you need to monitor a motor winding, a solenoid, or a power supply rail in an automotive ECU or an industrial controller.
Automotive temperature range and supply rails
The 400 µA supply current is modest; you can leave it powered continuously in a battery-backed module without draining the standby budget.
Housed in an 8-VSSOP (MSOP-8) package with a 3.00 mm body width, it fits into compact layouts. The surface-mount footprint matches the standard MSOP-8 land pattern, so no special routing is needed. The /NOPB suffix confirms ROHS3 compliance, which simplifies global BOM approval.
