Input Noise Filtering
–40°C to 125°C Operating Temperature Range
Available in 8-Lead SO and MSOP Packages
The LT ®1787 is a complete micropower precision high
side current sense amplifier. The LT1787 monitors bidirectional currents via the voltage across an external sense
resistor. A current or voltage output indicates the direction
and magnitude of the sense current. The LT1787 delivers
greater than a 12-bit dynamic range with ultralow 40µV
input offset voltage compared to a typical 250mV fullscale input voltage. A fixed gain of 8 is set by onboard
precision resistors. Input signal filtering is easily implemented with a capacitor between the FIL– and FIL+ pins.
The LT1787HV operates from 2.5V to 60V total supply
voltage and the LT1787 operates from 2.5V to 36V total
supply voltage. Both versions have a PSRR in excess of
120dB. The LT1787/LT1787HV draw only 60µA and are
available in 8-lead SO and MSOP packages.

a capacitor across FIL– and FIL+ . Pole frequency
f– 3dB = 1/(2πRC), R = 1.25kΩ.
where:
VOUT > VBIAS for VS+ > VS–
VOUT < VBIAS for VS+ < VS–
VOUT(O) is the no load output voltage at VSENSE = 0V.
VS – (Pin 2): Negative Input Sense Terminal. Negative
sense voltage will result in an output sinking current
proportional to the sense current. VS – is connected to an
internal gain-setting resistor RG1A and supplies bias current to the internal amplifier.
VBIAS (Pin 6): Output Bias Pin. For single supply, bidirectional current sensing operation, VBIAS is connected to an
external bias voltage, so that at VSENSE = 0V, VOUT =
VOUT(O) + VBIAS. For dual supply, bidirectional current
sensing operation, VBIAS is connected to ground. Thus,
VOUT = VOUT(O) at VSENSE = 0V.
DNC (Pin 3): Do Not Connect. Connected internally. Do not
connect external circuitry to this pin.
VS+ (Pin 7): Positive Input Sense Terminal. Positive sense
voltage will result in an output sourcing current proportional to the sense current. VS+ is connected to an internal
gain-setting resistor RG2A. Connecting a supply to VS+ and
a load to VS– will allow the LT1787 to measure its own
supply current.
VEE (Pin 4): Negative Supply or Ground for Single Supply
Operation.
VOUT (Pin 5): Voltage Output or Current Output proportional to the magnitude of the sense current flowing
through RSENSE. For bidirectional current sensing operation, VOUT = AV • VSENSE + VOUT(O) + VBIAS,

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The LT1787 high side current sense amplifier (Figure 1)
provides accurate bidirectional monitoring of current
through a user-selected sense resistor. The sense voltage
is amplified by a fixed gain of 8 and level shifted from the
positive power supply to the ground referenced outputs.
The output signal may be used in a variety of ways to
interface with subsequent signal processing circuitry.
Input and output filtering are easily implemented to eliminate aliasing errors.
Theory of Operation
Inputs VS+ and VS– apply the sense voltage to matched
resistors RG1 and RG2. The opposite ends of resistors RG1
and RG2 are forced to be at equal potentials by the voltage
gain of amplifier A1. The currents through RG1 and RG2 are
forced to flow through transistors Q1 and Q2 and are
summed at node VOUT by the 1:1 current mirror. The net
current from RG1 and RG2 flowing through resistor ROUT
gives a voltage gain of eight. Positive sense voltages result
in VOUT being positive with respect to pin VBIAS.
Pins VEE, VBIAS and VOUT may be connected in a variety of
ways to interface with subsequent circuitry. Split supply
and single supply output configurations are shown in the
following sections.
Supply current for amplifier A1 is drawn from the VS– pin.
The user may choose to include this current in the monitored current through RSENSE by careful choice of connection polarity.
Selection of External Current Sense Resistor
External RSENSE resistor selection is a delicate trade-off
between power dissipation in the resistor and current
measurement accuracy. The LT1787 makes this decision
less difficult than with competitors’ products. The maximum sense voltage may be as large as ±500mV to get
maximum resolution, however, high current applications
will not want to suffer this much power dissipation in the
sense resistor. The LT1787’s input offset voltage of 40µV
gives high resolution for low sense voltages. This wide
operating dynamic range gives the user wide latitude in
tailoring the range and resolution of his supply monitoring
function.
Kelvin connection of the LT1787’s VS+ and VS– inputs to
the sense resistor should be used in all but the lowest
power applications. Solder connections and PC board
interconnect resistance (approximately 0.5mΩ per square)
can be a large error in high current systems. A 5-Amp
application might choose a 20mΩ sense resistor to give a
100mV full-scale input to the LT1787. Input offset voltage
will limit resolution to 2mA. Neglecting contact resistance
at solder joints, even one square of PC board copper at
each resistor end will cause an error of 5%. This error will
grow proportionately higher as monitored current levels
rise to tens or hundreds of amperes.
Input Noise Filtering
The LT1787 provides input signal filtering pins FIL+ and
FIL– that are internally connected to the midpoint taps of
resistors RG1 and RG2. These pins may be used to filter the
input signal entering the LT1787’s internal amplifier, and
should be used when fast current ripple or transients may
flow through the sense resistor. High frequency signals
above the 300kHz bandwidth of the LT1787’s internal
amplifier will cause errors. A capacitor connected between
FIL+ and FIL– creates a single pole low pass filter with
corner frequency:
f –3dB = 1/(2πRC)
where R = 1.25k. A 0.01µF capacitor creates a pole at
12.7kHz, a good choice for many applications.
Common mode filtering from the FIL+ and FIL– pins should
not be attempted, as mismatch in the capacitors from FIL+
and FIL– will create AC common mode errors. Common
mode filtering must be done at the power supply output.
Output Signal Range
The LT1787’s output signal is developed by summing the
net currents through RG1 and RG2 into output resistor
ROUT. The pins VOUT and VBIAS may be connected in
numerous configurations to interface with following circuitry in either single supply or split supply applications.
Care must be used in connecting the output pins to
preserve signal accuracy. Limitations on the signal swing
at VOUT are imposed by the negative supply, VEE, and the
input voltage VS+. In the negative direction, internal circuit
saturation with loss of accuracy occurs for VOUT < 70mV

with absolute minimum swing at 30mV above VEE. VOUT
may swing positive to within 0.75V of VS+ or a maximum
of 35V, a limit set by internal junction breakdown. Within
these contraints, an amplified, level shifted representation
of the RSENSE voltage is developed across ROUT.

Figure 2 shows the LT1787 used with split power supplies.
The VBIAS pin is connected to ground, and the output
signal appears at the VOUT pin. Bidirectional input currents
can be monitored with the output swinging positive for
current flow from VS+ and VS–. Input currents in the
opposite direction cause VOUT to swing below ground.
Figure 2 shows an optional output capacitor connected
from VOUT to ground. This capacitor may be used to filter
the output signal before it is processed by other
circuitry.Figure 3 shows the voltage transfer function of
the LT1787 used in this configuration.

swing above and below VBIAS to allow monitoring of
positive or negative currents through the sense resistor,
as shown in Figure 5. The choice of reference voltage is not
critical except for the precaution that adequate headroom
must be provided for VOUT to swing without saturating the
internal circuitry. The component values shown in Figure 4
allow operation with VS supplies as low as 3.1V.

Operation with A/D Converter
Figure 6 shows the LT1787 operating with the LTC1286
A/D converter. This low cost circuit is capable of 12-bit
resolution of unipolar currents. The – IN pin of the A/D
converter is biased at 1V by the resistor divider R1 and R2.
This voltage increases as sense current increases, with the
amplified sense voltage appearing between the A/D converters –IN and +IN terminals. The front page of the data
sheet shows a similar circuit which uses a voltage reference for improved accuracy and signal range. The LTC1286
converter uses sequential sampling of its –IN and +IN
inputs. Accuracy is degraded if the inputs move between
sampling intervals. A filter capacitor from FIL+ to FIL– as
well as a filter capacitor from VBIAS to VOUT may be
necessary if the sensed current changes more than 1LSB
within a conversion cycle.
Buffered Output Operation
Figure 7 shows the LT1787’s outputs buffered by an
operational amplifier configured as an I/V converter. This
configuration is ideal for monitoring very low voltage
supplies. The LT1787’s VOUT pin is held equal to the
reference voltage appearing at the op amp’s noninverting
input. This allows monitoring VS supplies as low as 2.5V.
The op amp’s output may swing from ground to its positive
supply voltage. The low impedance output of the op amp
may drive following circuitry more effectively than the high
output impedance of the LT1787. The I/V converter configuration also works well with split supply voltages.

Single Supply Unidirectional Operation
Figure 8 shows the simplest connection in which the
LT1787 may be used. The VBIAS pin is connected to
ground, and the VOUT pin swings positive with increasing
sense current. The LT1787’s outputs can swing as low as
30mV as shown in Figure 9. Accuracy is sacrificed at small
output levels, but this is not a limitation in protection
circuit applications or where sensed currents do not vary
greatly. Increased low level accuracy can be obtained by
level shifting VBIAS above ground. The level shifting may be
done with resistor dividers, voltage references or a simple
diode. Accuracy is ensured if the output signal is sensed
differentially between VBIAS and VOUT.

The LT1787 may be used in all operating modes with an

The transconductance gm is set by on-chip resistors on
the LT1787. These resistors match well but have loose
absolute tolerance. This will normally require that the
external gain setting resistor be trimmed for initial accuracy. After trimming, the temperature stability of the gm
and therefore gain will be –200ppm/°C.
The only limitations placed upon the resistor choice is care
must be taken not to saturate the internal circuitry by
violating the VOMAX specification of VS + –0.75V.
