National's Current Sense Amplifiers

National offers current sense amplifiers with excellent performance over a wide temperature range from -40° to 125°C. Current sense amplifiers monitor current by measuring the voltage drop through a resistor. This is ideal for many applications that include motor control, battery monitoring, remote sensing, and power management.

LMP8645 - Precision High Voltage Current Sense Amplifier

  • High common mode VCM range up to 76V (HV version)
  • Wide supply voltage range from 2.7V to 12V
  • Gain configurable with a single resistor
  • Max variable gain accuracy 2.0% (with external resistor)

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.
