450 kHz gain-bandwidth — what it buys the current-sense node
Its 450 kHz gain-bandwidth product and 1.8 V/µs slew rate let it track DC load current and low-frequency ripple in power supplies and motor drives, but it won't resolve fast switching edges — the bandwidth is sized for average and peak current monitoring, not high-speed overcurrent detection.
Quiescent supply current is 2.3 mA typical. That's modest for a precision current sense amp — it won't strain a 3.3 V linear regulator in a 24 V/7 industrial PSU, but it's too high for a battery-powered sensor node running on a coin cell. The input bias current of 13 µA is higher than a zero-drift alternative; factor that into the shunt resistor value if you're measuring microamp-level loads. Input offset voltage is 900 µV, which at a 50 mV full-scale shunt drop gives about 1.8% error — acceptable for load monitoring but not for a billing-grade meter.
SOT-23-6 Thin — footprint and rework
The thin profile helps in tight enclosures, but the small pad geometry means the usual hot-air rework profile for a standard SOT-23-6 works fine — just watch the ramp rate to avoid tombstoning. Mounting is surface mount only.
