EVQ8112A-J-00A
60V, High-Side Current-Sense Amplifier
Evaluation Board, AEC-Q100 Qualified
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The EVQ8112A-J-00A is an evaluation board
designed to demonstrate the capabilities of the
MPQ8112A, a low-cost, unipolar, high-side
current-sense amplifier. The device operates
from a 2.7V to 60V supply voltage and typically
consumes a 300µA current. The common mode
input voltage ranges between 0V and 60V with
a 700kHz high bandwidth.
The MPQ8112A converts the differential input
voltage to a current output. This current is
converted back to a voltage with an external
load resistor. The MPQ8112A has an
adjustable gain based on the external, common
input resistors and load resistor.
The EV8112A-J-00A is a fully assembled and
tested evaluation board.
The MPQ8112A is available in a TSOT23-6L
package.

EVQ8112A-J-00A – 60V, CURRENT-SENSE AMPLIFIER EVALUATION BOARD
QUICK START GUIDE
1. Preset the power supply (VCC) to be between 2.7V and 60V.
2. Turn the VCC power supply off.
3. Preset the V5 power supply to be between 2.7V and 5.5V.
4. Turn the V5 power supply off.
5. Preset the ISENSE load to be between 0A and 2A. This sets VSENSE between 0mV and 200mV
(VSENSE = ISENSE x RSENSE).
6. Turn the ISENSE load off.
7. Ensure that JP1 and JP2 are not shorted simultaneously. To set the JP1 and JP2 connections,
follow the guidelines below:
a. To test with VCC = VCM, short JP1 and open JP2.
b. To test with VCC > VCM and VCM = 0V, open JP1 and short JP2.
8. Connect the VCC power supply terminals to:
a. Positive (+): VCC
b. Negative (-): GND
9. Connect the V5 power supply terminals to:
a. Positive (+): V5
b. Negative (-): GND
10. To test with VCC = VCM, short JP1 and open JP2, and then connect the load terminals to:
a. Positive (+): RG2
b. Negative (-): GND
11. To test with VCC > VCM and VCM = 0V, open JP1 and short JP2. Isolate the ISENSE load supply with an
isolation transformer, and then connect the load terminals to:
a. Positive (+): RG1
b. Negative (-): GND
12. Turn the V5 power supply on. Then turn the VCC power supply on after making the connections.
13. Turn the ISENSE load on and adjust the ISENSE range. The MPQ8112A’s output (VOUT) can be
estimated with Equation (1):
VOUT = ISENSE x RSENSE / R1 x GM x R3
(1)
Where GM is 5A/A. The MPQ8112A’s gain (AV) can be adjusted by selecting different combinations
of R3 and R1. AV can be estimated with Equation (2):
AV = VOUT / VSENSE = R3 / R1 x GM
(2)
Table 1 lists the possible AV values using different resistors.
