LMP8645/LMP8645HV
Precision High Voltage Current Sense Amplifier
General Description
Features
The LMP8645 and the LMP8645HV are precision current
sense amplifiers that detect small differential voltages across
a sense resistor in the presence of high input common mode
voltages with a supply voltage range from 2.7V to 12V.
The LMP8645 accepts input signals with common mode voltage range from -2V to 42V, while the LMP8645HV accepts
input signal with common mode voltage range from -2V to
76V. The LMP8645 and LMP8645HV have adjustable gain
for applications where supply current and high common mode
voltage are the determining factors. The gain is configured
with a single resistor, providing a high level of flexibility, the
accuracy could be as low as 2% (max) including the gain setting resistor. The output is buffered in order to provide low
output impedance. This high side current sense amplifier is
ideal for sensing and monitoring currents in DC or battery
powered systems, excellent AC and DC specifications over
temperature, and keeps errors in the current sense loop to a
minimum. The LMP8645 is an ideal choice for industrial, automotive and consumer applications, and it is available in
TSOT-6 package.

GENERAL
The LMP8645 and LMP8645HV are single supply high side
current sense amplifiers with variable gain selected through
an external resistor and a common mode voltage range of -2V
to 42V or -2V to 76V depending on the grade.
The sense voltage is amplified by a user-selected gain and
level shifted from the positive power supply to a ground-referred output.
SELECTION OF THE GAIN RESISTOR
In the LMP8645 and LMP8645HV the gain is selected through
an external resistor connected to the RG pin. Moreover the
gain resistor RGAIN determines the voltage of the output buffer
which is related to the supply voltage and to the common
mode voltage of the input signal. The gain resistor must be
chosen such that the max output voltage does not exceed the
LMP8645 max output voltage rating for a given common
mode voltage.
The following equations explain how to select the gain resistor
for various range of the input common mode voltage.
THEORY OF OPERATION
As seen from the picture below, the current flowing through
RS develops a voltage drop equal to VSENSE across RS. The
high impedance inputs of the amplifier doesn’t conduct this
current and the high open loop gain of the sense amplifier
forces its non-inverting input to the same voltage as the inverting input. In this way the voltage drop across RIN matches
VSENSE. A current proportional to IS according to the following
relation:
Case 1
−2V < VCM ≤ 1.8V
The max voltage at the RG pin is given by the following inequality VRG=Vsense*RGAIN *Gm ≤ min(1.3V; Vout_max)
where Vout_max is the maximum allowable output voltage
according to the Electrical Tables.All the gain resistors
(RGAIN) which respect the previous inequality are allowed. The
graphical representation in Figure 2 helps in the selection; all
the combinations (VSENSE, RGAIN) below the curve are allowed.
IS′ = VSENSE/RIN = RS*IS/RIN , where RIN = 1/Gm
flows entirely in the external gain resistor developing a voltage
drop equal to
VG = IS′ *RGAIN = (VSENSE/RIN) *RGAIN = ((RS*IS)/RIN)*RGAIN
This voltage is buffered and showed at the output with a very
low impedance allowing a very easy interface of the LMP8645
with other ICs (ADC, μC…).
VOUT = (RS*IS)*G, where G = RGAIN/RIN
30071604
FIGURE 2. Allowed Gains for CASE 1
As a consequence once selected the gain (RGAIN) the
VSENSE range is fixed too. For example if an application required a Gain of 10, RG will be 50 kΩ and VSENSE will be in the
range 10 mV to 100 mV.
Case 2
1.8V < VCM ≤ VS
In this case the max voltage at the RG pin is related to the
common mode voltage and VSENSE. So all the RGAIN resistors
which respect the following inequalities are allowed:
30071603
FIGURE 1. Current monitor
VRG ≤ min (Vout_max; (VCM - Vsense-250mV))
where
VRG = VSENSE*RGAIN*Gm and Vout_max is the maximum
allowable output voltage according to the Electrical Tables.
SELECTION OF THE SHUNT RESISTOR
The accuracy of the current measurement strictly depends on
the value of the shunt resistor RS. Its value depends on the
application and it is a compromise between small-signal accuracy and maximum permissible voltage loss in the measurement section. High values of RS provide better accuracy
at lower currents by minimizing the effects of offset, while low
values of RS minimize voltage loss in the supply section. For
most applications, best performance is obtained with an RS
The graphical representation in Figure 3 helps in the selection; all the combinations (VSENSE, RGAIN) below the curves for
given VCM and supply voltage are allowed.

Application Information
LMP8645/LMP8645HV
the voltage source doesn't have a low impedance an error in
the amplitude's measurement will occur. In this case a buffer
is needed to drive the ADC. The LMP8645 has an internal
output buffer able to drive a capacitance load up to 30 pF or
the input stage of an ADC. If required an external low pass
RC filter can be added at the output of the LMP8645 to reduce
the noise and the bandwidth of the current sense. Any other
filter solution which implies a capacitance connected to the
RG pin is not suggested due to the high impedance of that pin.
30071605
FIGURE 3. Allowed Gains for CASE 2
Also in this case once selected the RGAIN (Gain) the VSENSE
range is fixed too.
Case 3
VCM ≥ VS
The max voltage at the RG pin is Vout_max, it means that
VOUT = VSENSE * RGAIN/RIN ≤ Vout_max where Vout_max is
the maximum allowable output voltage according to the Electrical Tables.So all the RGAIN resistors which respect the
previous inequality are allowed. The graphical representation
in helps in the selection; all the combinations (VSENSE,
RGAIN) below the curves are allowed.

SENSING CURRENT IN LED DRIVER APPLICATIONS
The LMP8645 is the right choice in the applications which requires high side current sense, such as High Brightness LED
for automotive where the LED's cathode has to be connected
to the case (ground) of the car. In this case the classical low
side current sense with a shunt resistor connected between
the LED's cathode and the case doesn't guarantee the ground
connection. In Figure 6, the LMP8645 monitors the current for
the LM3406 a constant current buck regulator. The LMP8645
is supplied by the internal LDO of the LM3406 thorough the
pin VCC, the current which flows in the LED is programmed
according the following formula: IF= VCS/(RS*Gain), where
Gain = RGAIN*Gm and VCS=200 mV. In this application the
current which flows in the HB LED is in the range between
350 mA and 1A, so in order to reduce the power dissipation
on the shunt resistor and have a good accuracy, the RS should
be in the range between 50 mΩ and 200 mΩ. In the table
below two examples are analyzed.
30071606
FIGURE 4. Allowed Gains for CASE 3
Also in this case once selected the RGAIN (Gain) the VSENSE
range is fixed too.
From the cases showed above a good way to maximize the
output voltage swing of the LMP8645 is to select the max allowable Rgain according to the previous equations. For a
fixed supply voltage and Vsense as the common mode voltage increases, the max allowable Rgain increases too.
