APPLICATIONS High-side current sensing in Motor control Solenoid control Engine management Electric power steering Suspension control Vehicle dynamic control DC-to-DC converters GENERAL DESCRIPTION The AD8207 is a single-supply difference amplifier ideal for amplifying small differential voltages in the presence of large common-mode voltage. The operating input common-mode voltage range extends from −4 V to +65 V with a 5 V supply. The AD8207 works with a single-supply voltage of 3.3 V to 5 V, and is ideally suited to withstand large input PWM commonmode voltages, typical in solenoid and motor control applications. The AD8207 is available in an 8-lead SOIC package. Excellent dc performance over temperature keeps errors in the measurement loop to a minimum. Offset drift is typically less than 500 nV/°C, and gain drift is typically below 10 ppm/°C. The AD8207 is ideal for bidirectional current sensing applications. It features two reference pins,VREF1 and VREF2, that allow the user to easily offset the output of the device to any voltage within the supply range. 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 output offsets are achieved by applying an external low impedance voltage to the VREF1 and VREF2 pins.

Gain Drift Distribution Rev. 0 | Page 9 of 16 –2 0 AD8207 THEORY OF OPERATION The AD8207 is a single-supply, zero drift, difference amplifier that uses a unique architecture to accurately amplify small differential current shunt voltages in the presence of rapidly changing common-mode voltage. In typical applications, the AD8207 is used to measure current by amplifying the voltage across a shunt resistor connected to its inputs. The AD8207 includes a zero-drift amplifier, a precision resistor network, a common-mode control amplifier, and a precision reference (see Figure 25). A set of precision-trimmed resistors make up the network that attenuates the input common-mode voltage to within the supply range of the amplifier, in this case with a ratio of 20/1. This attenuation ensures that when the input pins are externally at the common-mode extremes of −4 V and +65 V, the actual voltage at the inputs of the main amplifier is still within the supply range. The reference inputs, VREF1 and VREF2, are tied through 100 kΩ resistors to the positive input of the main amplifier, 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. When the pins are used to divide the supply, the gain is 0.5 V/V. The AD8207 offers breakthrough performance without compromising any of the robust application needs typical of solenoid or motor control. The part rejects PWM input common-mode voltages, while the zero-drift architecture yields the lowest offset and offset drift performance on the market. SHUNT +IN –IN 120kΩ 100kΩ The input resistor network also attenuates normal (differential) mode voltages. Therefore, the total internal gain of the AD8207 is set to 400 V/V to provide a total system gain of 20 V/V.

This performance is achieved through a novel zero-drift architecture that does not compromise bandwidth, which is typically rated at 150 kHz. Rev. 0 | Page 10 of 16 3.5V/2.2V REF VREF 2 AD8207 09160-025 The AD8207 is designed to provide excellent common-mode rejection, even with PWM common-mode inputs that can change at very fast rates, for example, 1 V/ns. An internal common-mode control amplifier is used to maintain the input common mode of the main amplifier at 3.5 V (with 5 V supply), and therefore eliminates the negative effects of such fastchanging external common-mode variations. 100kΩ VREF 1 GND Figure 25. Simplified Schematic AD8207 POWER SUPPLY ADJUSTMENT 3.3 V TO 4.5 V SUPPLY OPERATION 4.5 V TO 5.5 V SUPPLY OPERATION The AD8207 can operate with a single-supply voltage as low as 3.3 V to 4.5 V. This mode of operation is achieved by connecting the RANGE pin (Pin 4) to the supply (see Figure 26). It is recommended that an external resistor be placed in series from the RANGE pin to the supply. This resistor can be a typical 5 kΩ 1% resistor. In most applications, the AD8207 operates with a single 5 V supply. In this mode, the operating input common-mode range of the AD8207 is rated from −4 V to +65 V. To operate the device with a 5 V supply (includes 4.5 V to 5.5 V), connect the RANGE pin (Pin 4) to logic low, or GND, as shown in Figure 27.

The output and reference input ranges are limited to the supply of the part. The user can have a 4.5 V supply and connect the RANGE pin from 3.3 V to 4.5 V. Alternatively, the user can connect the RANGE pin as high as 4.5 V, with the supply from 3.3 V to 4.5 V. The output and reference input ranges are limited to the supply voltage used. With a supply voltage from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, the RANGE pin (Pin 4) should be connected to GND to achieve the maximum input common-mode range specification of −4 V to +65 V. Rev. 0 | Page 11 of 16 AD8207 OUTPUT OFFSET ADJUSTMENT The output of the AD8207 can be adjusted for unidirectional or bidirectional operation. UNIDIRECTIONAL OPERATION Unidirectional operation allows the AD8207 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 Mode The V+ referenced output mode is set when both reference pins are tied to the positive supply. This mode is typically used when the diagnostic scheme requires detection of the amplifier and the wiring before power is applied to the load (see Figure 29). 5V V+ +IN ZERO DRIFT –IN AD8207 VREF 1 RANGE REF VREF 2 Ground Referenced Output Mode GND When using the AD8207 in the ground referenced output mode, both reference inputs are tied to ground, which causes the output to sit at the negative rail when there are 0 differential volts at the input (see Figure 28). 5V V+ +IN ZERO DRIFT –IN OUT AD8207 REF VREF 2 09160-012 GND Figure 28.

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 for a 5 V supply or 165 mV for a 3.3 V supply. 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 must be negative to move the output down. If the output is set at ground, the polarity must be positive to move the output up. Bidirectional operation allows the AD8207 to measure currents through a resistive shunt in two directions. In this case, the output is set anywhere within the output range. Typically, it is set at half scale for equal range in both directions. In some cases, however, it is set at a voltage other than half scale when the bidirectional current is asymmetrical. Table 6.

VREF1 and VREF2 are tied to internal resistors that connect to an internal offset node. There is no operational difference between the pins. Rev. 0 | Page 12 of 16 AD8207 5V EXTERNAL REFERENCED OUTPUT Tying both reference pins together and to an external reference produces an output equal to the reference voltage when there is no differential input (see Figure 30). 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. The reference pins are connected to the positive input of the main amplifier via precision-trimmed 100 kΩ resistors. Therefore, it is recommended that a low impedance voltage is always be used to set the reference voltage. If external resistors are connected directly to the VREF1 and VREF2 pins, there will be a mismatch with the internal trimmed resistors, leading to offset gain accuracy reduction.

External Referenced Output, V+ = 5 V VREF 1 SPLITTING THE SUPPLY RANGE 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 31). 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.

Splitting an External Reference, V+ = 5 V 09160-016 VREF 2 AD8207 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION MOTOR CONTROL 3-Phase Motor Control The AD8207 is ideally suited for monitoring current in 3-phase motor applications. The 150 kHz typical bandwidth of the AD8207 allows for instantaneous current monitoring. Additionally, the typical low offset drift of 500 nV/°C means that the measurement error between the two motor phases will be at a minimum over temperature. The AD8207 rejects PWM input commonmode voltages in the range of −4 V to +65 V (with a 5 V supply). Monitoring the current on the motor phase allows for sampling of the current at any point and allows for diagnostic information such as a short to GND and battery. Refer to Figure 34 for a typical phase current measurement setup with the AD8207. 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. The instability of the ground reference causes inaccuracies in the measurements that could be made with a simple ground referenced op amp. The AD8207 measures current in both directions as the H-bridge switches and the motor changes direction. The output of the AD8207 is configured in an external referenced bidirectional mode (see the Bidirectional Operation section).

In Figure 36, both the switch and the shunt are on the high side. When the switch is off, the battery is removed from the load, which prevents damage from potential shorts to ground, while still allowing the recirculation 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 can be caused by the differential voltage between the load and ground. When using a high-side switch, the battery voltage is connected to the load when the switch is closed, causing the common-mode voltage to increase to the battery voltage. 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. Other typical applications for the AD8207 include current monitoring for PWM control of solenoid openings. Typical applications include hydraulic valve control, diesel injection control, and actuator control. In Figure 35, 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 35). An advantage of placing the shunt on the high side is that the entire current, including the recirculation current, can be measured because the shunt remains in the loop when the switch is off. In addition, diagnostics capabilities are enhanced because shorts to ground can be detected with the shunt on the high side. 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 SWITCH +IN 5V –IN CLAMP DIODE VREF 1 –IN GND VREF 2 RANGE +VS OUT GND VREF 2 RANGE INDUCTIVE LOAD AD8207 SHUNT Figure 36.
