LMP8640/LMP8640HV
Precision High Voltage Current Sense Amplifier
General Description
Features
The LMP8640 and the LMP8640HV 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 LMP8640 accepts input signals with common mode voltage range from -2V to 42V, while the LMP8640HV accepts
input signal with common mode voltage range from -2V to
76V. The LMP8640 and LMP8640HV have fixed gain for applications that demand accuracy over temperature. The
LMP8640 and LMP8640HV come out with three different
fixed gains 20V/V, 50V/V, 100V/V ensuring a gain accuracy
as low as 0.25%. 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 LMP8640 and LMP8640HV are ideal choice
for industrial, automotive and consumer applications, and it is
available in TSOT-6 package.

gested. In this condition is required to take in account also the
power rating of RS resistor. The low input offset of the
LMP8640 allows the use of small sense resistors to reduce
power dissipation still providing a good input dynamic range.
The input dynamic range is the ratio expressed in dB between
the maximum signal that can be measured and the minimum
signal that can be detected, usually the input offset is the
principal limiting factor.
Application Information
GENERAL
The LMP8640 and LMP8640HV are single supply high side
current sense amplifiers with a fixed gain of 20V/V, 50V/V,
100V/V and a common mode voltage range of -2V to 42V or
-2V to 76V depending on the grade.
THEORY OF OPERATION
As seen from the picture below, the current flowing through
RS develops a voltage drop equal to VSENSE across RS. The
high impedance inputs of the amplifier doesn’t conduct this
current and the high open loop gain of the sense amplifier
forces its non-inverting input to the same voltage as the inverting input. In this way the voltage drop across RIN matches
VSENSE. A current proportional to IS according to the following
relation:
DRIVING ADC
The input stage of an Analog to Digital converter can be modelled with a resistor and a capacitance versus ground. So if
the voltage source doesn't have a low impedance an error in
the amplitude's measurement will occur. In this case a buffer
is needed to drive the ADC. The LMP8640 has an internal
output buffer able to drive a capacitance load up to 30 pF or
the input stage of an ADC. If required an external low pass
RC filter can be added at the output of the LMP8640 to reduce
the noise and the bandwidth of the current sense.
IG = VSENSE/RIN = RS*IS/RIN ,
flows entirely in the internal gain resistor RG developing a
voltage drop equal to
VRG = IG *RG = (VSENSE/RIN) *RG = ((RS*IS)/RIN)*RG
This voltage is buffered and showed at the output with a very
low impedance allowing a very easy interface of the LMP8640
with other ICs (ADC, μC…).
VOUT = 2*(RS*IS)*G,
where G=RG/RIN = 10V/V, 25V/V, 50V/V, according to the
gain options.

DESIGN EXAMPLE
For example in a current monitor application is required to
measure the current sunk by a load (peak current 10A) with
a resolution of 10mA and 0.5% of accuracy. The 10bit analog
to digital converter accepts a max input voltage of 4.1V. Moreover in order to not burn much power on the shunt resistor it
needs to be less than 10mΩ. In the table below are summarized the other working condition.

FIGURE 1. Current monitor
SELECTION OF THE SHUNT RESISTOR
The value chosen for the shunt resistor, RS, depends on the
application. It plays a big role in a current sensing system and
must be chosen with care. The selection of the shunt resistor
needs to take in account the small-signal accuracy, the power
dissipated and the voltage loss across the shunt itself. In applications where a small current is sensed, a bigger value of
RS is selected to minimize the error in the proportional output
voltage. Higher resistor value improves the SNR at the input
of the current sense amplifier and hence gives an accurate
output. Similarly when high current is sensed, the power losses in RS can be significant so a smaller value of RS is sugwww.national.com

that the right choice is the LMP8640HV (High common mode

(4.1V) , the max Sense voltage across the shunt resistor is
evaluated according the following formula:
VSENSE= (MAX Vin ADC) / Gain;
hence the max VSENSE will be 205mV, 82mV, 41mV respectively. The shunt resistor are then evaluated considering the
maximum monitored current :
RS = (max VSENSE) / I_MAX
For each gain option the max shunt resistors are the following : 20.5mΩ, 8.2mΩ, 4.1mΩ respectively.
One of the project constraints requires RS
