APPLICATIONS High-side current sensing Motor controls Solenoid controls Power management Low-side current sensing Diagnostic protection GENERAL DESCRIPTION The AD8208 is a single-supply difference amplifier ideal for amplifying and low-pass filtering small differential voltages in the presence of a large common-mode voltage. The input commonmode voltage range extends from −2 V to +45 V at a single +5 V supply. The AD8208 is qualified for automotive applications. The amplifier offers enhanced input overvoltage and ESD protection, and includes EMI filtering. Automotive applications demand robust, precision components for improved system control. The AD8208 provides excellent ac and dc performance, minimizing errors in the application. Typical offset and gain drift in both the SOIC and MSOP packages are less than 5 μV/°C and 10 ppm/°C, respectively. The device also delivers a minimum CMRR of 80 dB from dc to 10 kHz. The AD8208 features an externally accessible 100 kΩ resistor at the output of the preamplifier (A1), which can be used for lowpass filtering and for establishing gains other than 20. Rev.

However, because the output is available only by way of the 100 kΩ resistor, even a small amount of pin-topin capacitance between the IN pins and the A1 and A2 pins might couple an input common-mode signal larger than the greatly attenuated preamplifier output. The effect of pin-to-pin coupling can be negated in all applications by using a filter capacitor from Pin 3 to GND. 4 The output voltage range of the AD8208 varies depending on the load resistance and temperature.

The AD8208 consists of two amplifiers (A1 and A2), a resistor network, a small voltage reference, and a bias circuit (not shown); see Figure 24. The set of input attenuators preceding A1 consists of RA, RB, and RC, which feature a combined series resistance of approximately 400 kΩ ± 20%. The purpose of these resistors is to attenuate the input voltage to match the input voltage range of A1. This balanced resistor network attenuates the common-mode signal by a ratio of 1/14. The A1 amplifier inputs are held within the power supply range, even as Pin 1 and Pin 8 exceed the supply or fall below the common (ground). A reference voltage of 350 mV biases the attenuator above ground, allowing Amplifier A1 to operate in the presence of negative common-mode voltages. The input resistor network also attenuates normal (differential) mode voltages. Therefore, A1 features a gain of 140 V/V to provide a total system gain, from ±IN to the output of A1, equal to 10 V/V, as shown in the following equation: by connecting A1 to A2 and placing a capacitor to ground (see Figure 33). The value of RF1 and RF2 is 10 kΩ, providing a gain of 2 V/V for Amplifier A2. When connecting Pin A1 and Pin A2 together, the AD8208 provides a total system gain equal to Total Gain of (A1 + A2) (V/V) = 10 (V/V) × 2 (V/V) = 20 V/V at the output of A2 (the OUT pin). The ratios of RA, RB, RC, and RF are trimmed to a high level of precision, allowing a typical CMRR value that exceeds 80 dB. This performance is accomplished by laser trimming the resistor ratio matching to better than 0.01%. –IN RA +IN VS RA RFILTER + – RF RB RB RG RC RC A1 A1 A2 + – OUT A2 RF1 RF RM RF2 A precision trimmed, 100 kΩ resistor is placed in series with the output of Amplifier A1. The user has access to this resistor via an external pin (A1). A low-pass filter can be easily implemented Rev.

Simplified Schematic AD8208 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION HIGH-SIDE CURRENT SENSING WITH A LOW-SIDE SWITCH HIGH-RAIL CURRENT SENSING In load control configurations for high-side current sensing with a low-side switch, the PWM-controlled switch is ground referenced. An inductive load (solenoid) connects to a power supply/battery. A resistive shunt is placed between the switch and the load (see Figure 25). An advantage of placing the shunt on the high side is that the entire current, including the recirculation current, is monitored because the shunt remains in the loop when the switch is off. In addition, shorts to ground can be detected with the shunt on the high side, enhancing the diagnostics of the control loop. In this circuit configuration, when the switch is closed, the commonmode 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. In the high-rail current-sensing configuration, the shunt resistor is referenced to the battery. High voltage is present at the inputs of the current-sense amplifier. When the shunt is battery referenced, the AD8208 produces a linear ground-referenced analog output. Additionally, the AD8214 can be used to provide an overcurrent detection signal in as little as 100 ns (see Figure 27). This feature is useful in high current systems where fast shutdown in overcurrent conditions is essential.

Low-Side Switch In cases where a high-side switch is used for PWM control of the load current in an application, the AD8208 can be used as shown in Figure 26. The recirculation current through the freewheeling diode (clamp diode) is monitored through the shunt resistor. In this configuration, the common-mode voltage in the application drops below GND when the FET is switched off. The AD8208 operates down to −2 V, providing an accurate current measurement. LOW-SIDE CURRENT SENSING In systems where low-side current sensing is preferable, the AD8208 provides a simple, high accuracy, integrated solution. In this configuration, the AD8208 rejects ground noise and offers high input to output linearity, regardless of the differential input voltage.

In such applications, the relatively large shunt resistor may degrade the common-mode rejection. Adding a resistor of equal value on the low impedance side of the input corrects this error. used should be equal to 100 kΩ minus the parallel sum of REXT and 100 kΩ. For example, with REXT = 100 kΩ (yielding a composite gain of 10 V/V), the optional offset nulling resistor is 50 kΩ. Gains Greater than 20 Connecting a resistor from the output of the buffer amplifier to its noninverting input, as shown in Figure 31, increases the gain. The gain is now multiplied by the factor 5V REXT/(REXT − 100 kΩ) 10Ω 1% For example, it is doubled for REXT = 200 kΩ. Overall gains as high as 50 are achievable in this way. Note that the accuracy of the gain becomes critically dependent on the resistor value at high gains. In addition, the effective input offset voltage at Pin 1 and Pin 8 (which is about six times the actual offset of A1) limits the use of the part in high gain, dc-coupled applications.

Adjusting for Gains Greater than 20 OUTPUT VDIFF A1 NC = NO CONNECT Because the preamplifier has an output resistance of 100 kΩ, an external resistor connected from Pin 3 and Pin 4 to GND decreases the gain by the following factor (see Figure 30): +IN GND GAIN GAIN – 20 08714-030 The default gain of the preamplifier and buffer are 10 V/V and 2 V/V, respectively, resulting in a composite gain of 20 V/V. With the addition of external resistor(s) or trimmer(s), the gain can be lowered, raised, or finely calibrated. 20REXT REXT – 100kΩ AD8208 Internal Signal Overload Considerations When configuring the gain for values other than 20, the maximum input voltage with respect to the supply voltage and ground must be considered because either the preamplifier or the output buffer reaches its full-scale output (VS − 0.1 V) with large differential input voltages. The input of the AD8208 is limited to (VS − 0.1) ÷ 10 for overall gains of ≤10 because the preamplifier, with its fixed gain of 10 V/V, reaches its full-scale output before the output buffer. For gains greater than 10, the swing at the buffer output reaches its full scale first and then limits the AD8208 input to (VS − 0.1) ÷ G, where G is the overall gain. If the gain is raised using a resistor, as shown in Figure 31, the corner frequency is lowered by the same factor as the gain is raised. Therefore, using a resistor of 200 kΩ (for which the gain would be doubled), results in a corner frequency scaled to 0.796 Hz μF (0.039 μF for a 20 Hz corner frequency). 5V OUTPUT +IN VDIFF + 5V VCM 255kΩ – 08714-033 A two-pole filter with a roll-off of 40 dB/decade can be implemented using the connections shown in Figure 34. This configuration is a Sallen-Key form based on a ×2 amplifier. It is useful to remember that a two-pole filter with a corner frequency of f2 and a single-pole filter with a corner frequency of f1 have the same attenuation, that is, 40 log (f2/f1), as shown in Figure 35. Using the standard resistor value shown in Figure 34 and capacitors of equal values, the corner frequency is conveniently scaled to 1 Hz μF (0.05 μF for a 20 Hz corner frequency). A maximal flat response occurs when the resistor is lowered to 196 kΩ, scaling the corner frequency to 1.145 Hz μF. The output offset is raised by approximately 5 mV (equivalent to 250 μV at the input pins). 40dB/DECADE 20dB/DECADE 40log (f2/f1) 1 f1 C IN FARADS f2 FREQUENCY VCM + – NC = NO CONNECT GND A1 A2 Figure 35.

Two-Pole, Low-Pass Filter OUT AD8208 A1 NC = NO CONNECT OUTPUT VS + GND C ATTENUATION Low-pass filters can be implemented in several ways by using the features provided by the AD8208. In the simplest case, a single-pole filter (20 dB/decade) is formed when the output of A1 is connected to the input of A2 via the internal 100 kΩ resistor by tying Pin 3 to Pin 4 and adding a capacitor from this node to ground, as shown in Figure 33. If a resistor is added across the capacitor to lower the gain, the corner frequency increases; therefore, gain should be calculated using the parallel sum of the resistor and 100 kΩ. + C fC(Hz) = 1/C(µF) When implementing a filter, the PAR should be considered so that the output of the AD8208 preamplifier (A1) does not clip before A2; otherwise, the nonlinearity would be averaged and appear as an error at the output. To avoid this error, both amplifiers should clip at the same time. This condition is achieved when the PAR is no greater than the gain of the second amplifier (2 for the default configuration). For example, if a PAR of 5 is expected, the gain of A2 should be increased to 5. VDIFF OUT AD8208 –IN In many transducer applications, it is necessary to filter the signal to remove spurious high frequency components, including noise, or to extract the mean value of a fluctuating signal with a peakto-average ratio (PAR) greater than unity. For example, a full-wave rectified sinusoid has a PAR of 1.57, a raised cosine has a PAR of 2, and a half-wave sinusoid has a PAR of 3.14. Signals with large spikes may have PARs of 10 or more.

A | Page 13 of 16 AD8208 diode regulates the common-mode potential applied to the device. For example, a battery spike of 20 V may result in an applied common-mode potential of 21.5 V to the input of the devices. HIGH LINE CURRENT SENSING WITH LPF AND GAIN ADJUSTMENT The circuit shown in Figure 36 is similar to Figure 25, but includes gain adjustment and low-pass filtering. To produce a full-scale output of 4 V, a gain of 40 V/V is used, adjustable by ±5% to absorb the tolerance in the shunt. There is sufficient headroom to allow 10% overrange (to 4.4 V). The roughly triangular voltage across the sense resistor is averaged by a single-pole, low-pass filter that is set with a corner frequency of 3.6 Hz, which provides about 30 dB of attenuation at 100 Hz. A higher rate of attenuation can be obtained by using a two-pole filter with a corner frequency of 20 Hz, as shown in Figure 37. Although this circuit uses two separate capacitors, the total capacitance is less than half of what is needed for the single-pole filter. 5V INDUCTIVE LOAD OUTPUT 4V/AMP +IN NC VS OUT + – –IN GND A1 20kΩ A2 SWITCH VOS/IB NULL C NC = NO CONNECT 191kΩ AD8208 SHUNT 5% CALIBRATION RANGE fC(Hz) = 0.767Hz/C(µF) (0.22µF FOR fC = 3.6Hz) 5V 08714-035 BATTERY CLAMP DIODE Figure 36.

The average current is proportional to the duty cycle of the input pulse and is sensed by a small-value resistor. The average differential voltage across the shunt is typically 100 mV, although its peak value is higher by an amount that depends on the inductance of the load and the control frequency. The commonmode voltage, on the other hand, extends from roughly 1 V above ground for the on condition to about 1.5 V above the battery voltage in the off condition.
