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.

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.

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.

The AD8207 features an input offset drift of less than
500 nV/°C. This performance is achieved through a novel
zero-drift architecture that does not compromise bandwidth, which is typically rated at 150 kHz.

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.

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.

Figure 27. 5 V Supply Bidirectional Operation
Note that in this mode of operation, the common-mode range
of the AD8207 is limited to −4 V to +35 V. 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.

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).

For unidirectional operation, the output can 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 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.

Adjusting the output is accomplished by applying voltages
to the reference inputs. VREF1 and VREF2 are tied to internal
resistors that connect to an internal offset node. There is no
operational difference between the pins.

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.

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.

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).

Another typical application for the AD8207 is as part of
the control loop in H-bridge motor control. In this case, the
shunt resistor is placed in the middle of the H-bridge (see
Figure 33) so that it can accurately measure current in both

This configuration minimizes the possibility of unexpected
solenoid activation and excessive corrosion (see Figure 36). 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.
