GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8212 is a self-biased current sense amplifier for level
shifting and amplifying small differential voltages in the
presence of common mode voltages exceeding 500 V1. The
AD8212 offers excellent accuracy and programmable gain
which can be set with a single resistor, making it ideal to use in
industrial, automotive , and consumer applications.
The AD8212 is offered in die and packaged form. The operating
temperature range for the die is 25°C higher (up to 150°C) than
that of the packaged part to enable the user to apply the
AD8212 in high temperature applications.
Excellent AC and DC performance over temperature keep
errors in the measurement loop to a minimum. Offset drift is
typically below 5 uV/ °C, and the gain drift is typically below
50 ppm/°C.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any
other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.

an external pass transistor.

At these high voltages a proper Rbias (depended upon the
application) is necessary to regulate the device by pulling
enough current through it to keep it to keep it going.
Vout = (Is * Rs * Rout) / RG1
Table 3 lists the Rout values and the resulting gain for the
AD8212.
Ibias = (Vsupply –5V)/ Rbias
The current necessary must be at least 90uA and can be as
high as 1mA. The formula above can be used to easily
calculate the external Rbias to deliver the proper current.

The current (IS) is drawn for the supply through the shunt
resistor (RS). This produces a small voltage (Vshunt) across the
inputs of the device, and in turn current flows across RG1 (1000
Ω) into the collector of Q1. This current (IOUT) is converted
into a voltage through the use of an outside resistor (ROUT).

The Offset pin can be tied to COM for bidirectional current
measurements. The Offset voltage can be calculated by:
Voffset = (5 * 10^-5) * Rout
With the device operating in the manner shown above the
common mode voltage range is 7V to 65V. The 7V is necessary
for the device to operate because of an internal regulator that
turns on at that voltage. This internal regulator allows the
AD8212 to be self biased, meaning that the AD8212 hangs from
the common mode voltage, and no additional supply is
necessary. This internal regulator also maintains 5 V at all times
Between Vplus and COM there is 5V. When Offset is tied to
Com we have a resistor divider of 1K and 99K and 5V.
Therefore the current flowing to the Q1 collector is
0.5V/1kΩ=(5*10^-5). This current multiplied with Rout
produces the offset voltage. A high voltage PNP transistor is
necessary for using the AD8212 at high voltages. The only
limitation on what Common Mode Voltage range, is the
breakdown voltage of the pass transistor.
