The alternative example circuit using the ZXCT1110 with a sense voltage of 40mV is shown in Figure 3, giving the required
overall accuracy of ±6%.

Protection Against Load Short Circuit
In the event of a load short circuit or overload, a large proportion of the supply voltage may appear between the sense
terminals. The supply may be current limited, but there is normally a large reservoir capacitor which can deliver enough
energy to damage the ZXCT11xx before the supply voltage falls to a safe level due to current limit activation.
The ZXCT11xx is rated for a maximum sense voltage of +0.8V, but is safe if the input current is limited to ±8.5mA. In Figure
4, the resistor R
limits the current and therefore protects the current monitor device against load short circuit without
PROT
introducing significant current measurement error.
