APPLICATIONS High-side current sensing in: Motor controls Transmission controls Diesel injection controls Engine management Suspension controls Vehicle dynamic controls DC-to-dc converters GENERAL DESCRIPTION The AD8206 is a single-supply difference amplifier for amplifying small differential voltages in the presence of large commonmode voltages. The operating input common-mode voltage range extends from −2 V to +65 V. The typical single-supply voltage is 5 V. The AD8206 is offered in die and packaged form. The operating temperature range for the die is 25°C higher (up to 150°C) than the packaged part to enable the user to apply the AD8206 in high temperature applications. Excellent dc performance over temperature keeps errors in the measurement loop to a minimum. Offset drift is typically less than 15 µV/°C, and gain drift is typically below 30 ppm/°C. The output offset can be adjusted from 0.05 V to 4.8 V with a 5 V supply by using the VREF1 and VREF2 pins. With VREF1 attached to the V+ pin, and VREF2 attached to the GND pin, the output is set at half scale. Attaching both pins to GND causes the output to be unipolar, starting near ground. Attaching both pins to V+ causes the output to be unipolar starting near V+. Other offsets can be obtained by applying an external voltage to the VREF1 and VREF2 pins. Rev.

Settling Time Rev. PrA | Page 7 of 12 AD8206 Preliminary Technical Data THEORY OF OPERATION The AD8206 is a single-supply difference amplifier that uses a unique architecture to accurately amplify small differential current shunt voltages in the presence of rapidly changing commonmode voltages. It is offered in both packaged and die form. In typical applications, the AD8206 is used to measure current by amplifying the voltage across a current shunt placed across the inputs. The gain of the AD8206 is 20 V/V, with an accuracy of 1.2%. This accuracy is guaranteed over the operating temperature range of −40°C to +125°C. The die temperature range is −40°C to +150°C with a guaranteed gain accuracy of 1.3%. The input offset is less than 2 mV referred to the input at 25°C, and 4.5 mV maximum referred to the input over the full operating temperature range for the packaged part. The die input offset is less than 6 mV referred to the input over the die operating temperature range. The AD8206 operates with a single supply from 4.5 V to 10 V (absolute maximum = 12.5 V). The supply current is less than 2 mA. By attenuating the voltages at Pin 1 and Pin 8, the A1 amplifier inputs are held within the power supply range, even if Pin 1 and Pin 8 exceed the supply or fall below common (ground). A reference voltage of 250 mV biases the attenuator above ground. This allows the amplifier to operate in the presence of negative common-mode voltages. The input network also attenuates normal (differential) mode voltages. A1 amplifies the attenuated signal by 26. The input and output of this amplifier are differential to maximize the ac common-mode rejection. A2 converts the differential voltage from A1 into a single-ended signal and provides further amplification. The gain of this second stage is 12.86. The reference inputs, VREF1 and VREF2, are tied through resistors to the positive input of A2, which allows the output offset to be adjusted anywhere in the output operating range. The gain is 1 V/V from the reference pins to the output when the reference pins are used in parallel. The gain is 0.5 V/V when they are used to divide the supply. High accuracy trimming of the internal resistors allows the AD8206 to have a common-mode rejection ratio better than 78 dB from dc to 20 kHz. The common-mode rejection ratio over the operating temperature is 76 dB for both the die and packaged part. The ratios of Resistors RA, RB, RC, RD, and RF are trimmed to a high level of precision to allow the common-mode rejection ratio to exceed 80 dB. This is accomplished by laser trimming the resistor ratio matching to better than 0.01%. The output offset can be adjusted from 0.05 V to 4.8 V (V+ = 5 V) for unipolar and bipolar operation. The total gain of 50 is made up of the input attenuation of 1/16.7 multiplied by the first stage gain of 26 and the second stage gain of 12.86. The AD8206 consists of two amplifiers (A1 and A2), a resistor network, small voltage reference, and a bias circuit (not shown), see Figure 13. The output stage is Class A with a PNP pull-up transistor and a 300 µA current sink pull-down. –IN +IN RA RA A1 RB RB RC RC 250mV RF RF RD RD A2 AD8206 RE RF VREF1 RREF RREF GND VREF2 Figure 13. Simplified Schematic Rev. PrA | Page 8 of 12 VOUT 04953-013 The set of input attenuators preceding A1 consist of RA, RB, and RC, which reduce the common-mode voltage to match the input voltage range of A1. The two attenuators form a balanced bridge network. When the bridge is balanced, the differential voltage created by a common-mode voltage is 0 V at the inputs of A1. The input attenuation ratio is 1/16.7. The combined series resistance of RA, RB, and RC is approximately 200 kΩ ± 20%. Preliminary Technical Data AD8206 OUTPUT OFFSET ADJUSTMENT The output of the AD8206 can be adjusted for unidirectional or bidirectional operation. UNIDIRECTIONAL OPERATION Unidirectional operation allows the AD8206 to measure currents through a resistive shunt in one direction. The basic modes for unidirectional operation are ground referenced output mode and V+ referenced output mode. V+ REFERENCED OUTPUT This mode is set when both reference pins are tied to the positive supply. It is typically used when the diagnostic scheme requires detection of the amplifier and the wiring before power is applied to the load (see Figure 15). V+ +IN In the case of unidirectional operation, the output could be set at the negative rail (near ground) or at the positive rail (near V+) when the differential input is 0 V. The output moves to the opposite rail when a correct polarity differential input voltage is applied. In this case, full scale is approximately 250 mV. The required polarity of the differential input depends on the output voltage setting. If the output is set at the positive rail, the input polarity needs to be negative to move the output down. If the output is set at ground, the polarity is positive to move the output up. OUT –IN VREF1 AD8206 NC VREF2 04953-015 GND NC = NO CONNECT Figure 15. V+ Referenced Output GROUND REFERENCED OUTPUT When using the AD8206 in this mode, both reference inputs are tied to ground, which causes the output to sit at the negative rail when there are zero differential volts at the input (see Figure 14).

PrA | Page 9 of 12 AD8206 Preliminary Technical Data EXTERNAL REFERENCE OUTPUT Tying both pins together and to a reference produces an output at the reference voltage when there is no differential input (see Figure 16). The output moves down from the reference voltage when the input is negative relative to the −IN pin and up when the input is positive relative to the −IN pin.

PrA | Page 10 of 12 5V 04953-018 By tying one reference pin to V+ and the other to the ground pin, the output is set at half of the supply when there is no differential input (see Figure 17). The benefit is that no external reference is required to offset the output for bidirectional current measurement. This creates a midscale offset that is ratiometric to the supply, which means that if the supply increases or decreases, the output remains at half the supply. For example, if the supply is 5.0 V, the output is at half scale or 2.5 V. If the supply increases by 10% (to 5.5 V), the output goes to 2.75 V. Preliminary Technical Data AD8206 APPLICATIONS A typical application for the AD8206 is high-side measurement of a current through a solenoid for PWM control of the solenoid opening. Typical applications include hydraulic transmission control and diesel injection control. Two typical circuit configurations are used for this type of application. When using a high-side switch, the battery voltage is connected to the load when the switch is closed, causing the commonmode voltage to increase to the battery voltage. In this case, when the switch is opened, the voltage reversal across the inductive load causes the common-mode voltage to be held one diode drop below ground by the clamp diode. 5V HIGH-SIDE CURRENT SENSE WITH A LOW-SIDE SWITCH SWITCH In this circuit configuration, when the switch is closed, the common-mode voltage moves down to near the negative rail. When the switch is opened, the voltage reversal across the inductive load causes the common-mode voltage to be held one diode drop above the battery by the clamp diode. 5V 42V BATTERY INDUCTIVE LOAD +IN VREF1 +VS OUT AD8206 SHUNT –IN OUT AD8206 –IN CLAMP DIODE GND VREF2 NC INDUCTIVE LOAD NC = NO CONNECT Figure 20. High-Side Switch Another typical application for the AD8206 is as part of the control loop in H-bridge motor control. In this case, the AD8206 is placed in the middle of the H-bridge (see Figure 21) so that it can accurately measure current in both directions by using the shunt available at the motor. This is a better solution than a ground referenced op amp because ground is not typically a stable reference voltage in this type of application. This instability in the ground reference causes the measurements that could be made with a simple ground referenced op amp to be inaccurate. The AD8206 measures current in both directions as the H-bridge switches and the motor changes direction. The output of the AD8206 is configured in an external reference bidirectional mode, see the Output Offset Adjustment section.

Low-Side Switch HIGH-SIDE CURRENT SENSE WITH A HIGH-SIDE SWITCH This configuration minimizes the possibility of unexpected solenoid activation and excessive corrosion (see Figure 20). In this case, both the switch and the shunt are on the high side. When the switch is off, this removes the battery from the load, which prevents damage from potential shorts to ground, while still allowing the recirculating current to be measured and providing for diagnostics. Removing the power supply from the load for the majority of the time minimizes the corrosive effects that could be caused by the differential voltage between the load and ground. Rev.

Motor Control Application 04953-021 CLAMP DIODE 42V BATTERY 04953-020 In this case, the PWM control switch is ground referenced. An inductive load (solenoid) is tied to a power supply. A resistive shunt is placed between the switch and the load (see Figure 19). An advantage of placing the shunt on the high side is that the entire current, including the re-circulation current, can be measured since the shunt remains in the loop when the switch is off. In addition, diagnostics can be enhanced because shorts to ground can be detected with the shunt on the high side.
