GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8213 is a dual-channel, precision current sense amplifier.
It features a set gain of 20 V/V, with a maximum ±0.5% gain
error over the entire temperature range. The buffered output
voltage directly interfaces with any typical converter. Excellent
common-mode rejection from −2 V to +65 V, is independent of
the 5 V supply. The AD8213 performs unidirectional current
measurements across a shunt resistor in a variety of industrial
and automotive applications, such as motor control, solenoid
control, or battery management.
Rev. D
Special circuitry is devoted to output linearity being maintained
throughout the input differential voltage range of 0 mV to 250 mV,
regardless of the common-mode voltage present. The AD8213
also features additional pins that allow the user to low-pass filter
the input signal before amplifying, via an external capacitor to
ground. The AD8213 has an operating temperature range of −40°C
to +125°C for the Y grade, −40°C to +150°C for the H grade and is
offered in a small 10-lead MSOP package.

AD8213
Data Sheet
THEORY OF OPERATION
In typical applications, the AD8213 amplifies a small differential
input voltage generated by the load current flowing through a
shunt resistor. The AD8213 rejects high common-mode voltages
(up to 65 V) and provides a ground referenced, buffered output
that interfaces with an analog-to-digital converter (ADC).
Figure 25 shows a simplified schematic of the AD8213.
This current (IIN1) is converted back to a voltage via ROUT1. The
output buffer amplifier has a gain of 20 V/V, and offers excellent
accuracy as the internal gain setting resistors are precision
trimmed to within 0.01% matching. The resulting output
voltage is equal to
The following explanation refers exclusively to Channel 1 of the
AD8213; however, the same explanation applies to Channel 2.
Prior to the buffer amplifier, a precision trimmed, 20 kΩ resistor
can perform the low-pass filtering of the input signal prior to the
amplification stage. By using this resistor, the noise of the input
signal does not amplify but is rejected, resulting in a more precise
output signal that directly interfaces with a converter. A capacitor
from the CF1 pin to GND, results in a low-pass filter with a
corner frequency of
VOUT1 = (ISHUNT1 × RSHUNT1) × 20
A load current flowing through the external shunt resistor
produces a voltage at the input terminals of the AD8213. The
input terminals are connected to Amplifier A1 by Resistor R1 (1)
and Resistor R1 (2). The inverting terminal, which has very high
input impedance is held to (VCM) − (ISHUNT × RSHUNT), because
negligible current flows through Resistor R1 (2). Amplifier A1
forces the noninverting input to the same potential. Therefore,
the current that flows through Resistor R1 (1), is equal to

APPLICATION NOTES
OUTPUT LINEARITY
LOW-PASS FILTERING
In all current sensing applications, and especially in automotive
and industrial environments where the common-mode voltage
can vary significantly, it is important that the current sensor
maintain the specified output linearity, regardless of the input
differential or common-mode voltage. The AD8213 contains
specific circuitry on the input stage, which ensures that even
when the differential input voltage is very small, and the commonmode voltage is also low (below the 5 V supply), the input to
output linearity is maintained. Figure 26 displays the input
differential voltage vs. the corresponding output voltage at
different common modes.
In typical applications, such as motor and solenoid current
sensing, filtering the differential input signal of the AD8213 can
be beneficial in reducing differential common-mode noise as
well as transients and current ripples flowing through the input
shunt resistor. Typically, such a filter can be implemented by
adding a resistor in series with each input and a capacitor directly
between the input pins. However, the AD8213 features a filter pin
available after the input stage but before the final amplification
stage. The user can connect a capacitor to ground, making a
low-pass filter with the internal precision trimmed, 20 kΩ
resistor. Connecting this capacitor to ground, results in no gain
or CMRR errors. Figure 27 shows the typical connection.

CAP2
The AD8213 provides a correct output voltage, regardless of the
common mode, when the input differential is at least 2 mV,
which is due to the voltage range of the output amplifier that
can go as low as 33 mV typical. The specified minimum output
amplifier voltage is 100 mV in order to provide sufficient guard
bands. The ability of the AD8213 to work with very small
differential inputs regardless of the common-mode voltage,
allows more dynamic range, accuracy, and flexibility in any
current sensing application.

It is recommended to always place a capacitor from the filter
pin to GND to prevent the output chatter due to noise
potentially entering through the filter pin and coupling to the
output. This capacitor can be a ≈20 pF capacitor in cases when
all of the bandwidth of the AD8213 is needed in the application.
