Sensing
The NCS199A1R, NCS199A2R, and NCS199A3R are voltage
output, current shunt monitors (also called current sense amplifiers)
which can measure voltage across shunts at common−mode voltages
from −0.3 V to 26 V, independent of supply voltage. The low offset of
the zero−drift architecture enables current sensing across the shunt
with maximum voltage drop as low as 10 mV full−scale. These
devices can operate from a single +2.2 V to +26 V power supply,
drawing a maximum of 80 mA of supply current, and are specified over
the extended operating temperature range (−40°C to +125°C).
Available in the SC70−6 package.

Basic Connections
Current Sensing Techniques
current monitoring. Figure 30 shows the NCS199AxR
circuit implementation for unidirectional operation using
high−side current sensing.
Basic connections for unidirectional operation include
connecting the load power supply, connecting a current
shunt to the differential inputs of the NCS199AxR,
grounding the REF pin, and providing a power supply for the
NCS199AxR. The NCS199AxR can be connected to the
same power supply that it is monitoring current from, or it
can be connected to a separate power supply. If it is
necessary to detect short circuit current on the load power
supply, which may cause the load power supply to sag to
near zero volts, a separate power supply must be used on the
NCS199AxR. When using multiple supplies, there are no
restrictions on power supply sequencing.
When no current is flowing though the RSHUNT, and the
REF pin is connected to ground, the NCS199AxR output is
expected to be within 50 mV of ground. When current is
flowing through RSHUNT, the output will swing positive, up
to within 200 mV of the applied supply voltage, VS.
The NCS199AxR current−sense amplifiers can be
configured for both low−side and high−side current sensing.
Low−side sensing appears to have the advantage of being
straightforward, inexpensive, and can be implemented with
a simple op amp circuit. However, the NCS199AxR series
of devices provides the full differential input necessary to
get accurate shunt connections, while also providing a
built−in gain network with precision difficult to obtain with
external resistors. While at times the application requires
low−side sensing, only high−side sensing can detect a short
from the positive supply line to ground. Furthermore,
high−side sensing avoids adding resistance to the ground
path of the load being measured. The sections below focus
primarily on high−side current sensing.
Unidirectional Operation
In unidirectional current sensing, the current always flows
in the same direction. Common applications for
unidirectional operation include power supplies and load

application. However, most often it is biased to either half of
the supply voltage or to half the value of the measurement
system reference. Figure 31 shows bidirectional operation
with three different circuit choices that can be connected to
the REF pin to provide a voltage reference to the
NCS199AxR.
In bidirectional current sensing, the current
measurements are taken when current is flowing in both
directions. For example, in fuel gauging, the current is
measured when the battery is being charged or discharged.
Bidirectional operation requires the output to swing both
positive and negative around a bias voltage applied to the
REF pin. The voltage applied to the REF pin depends on the

Figure 31. Bidirectional Current Sensing with Three Example Voltage Reference Circuits
Input and Output Filtering
The REF pin must always be connected to a low
impedance circuit, such as in the Figure 31(b), (c), and (d).
The REF pin can be connected directly to any voltage supply
or voltage reference (shunt or series). However, if a resistor
divider network is used to provide the reference voltage, a
unity gain buffer circuit must be used, as shown in
Figure 31(d).
In bidirectional applications, any voltage that exceeds
VS+0.3 V applied to the REF pin will forward bias an ESD
diode between the REF pin and the VS pin. Note that this
exceeds the Absolute Maximum Ratings for the device.
Filtering at the input or output may be required for several
different reasons. In this section we will discuss the main
considerations with regards to these filter circuits.
In some applications, the current being measured may be
inherently noisy. In the case of a noisy signal, filtering after
the output of the current sense amplifier is often simpler,
especially where the amplifier output is fed into high
impedance circuitry. The amplifier output node provides the
greatest freedom when selecting components for the filter
and is very straightforward to implement, although it may
require subsequent buffering.
Other applications may require filtering at the input of the
current sense amplifier. Figure 32 shows the recommended
schematic for input filtering.

Figure 32. Input filtering compensates for shunt inductance on shunts
less than 1 mW, as well as high frequency noise in any application
high frequency spike transient events on the current sensing
line that can overload the front end of any shunt current
sensing IC. This problem must be solved by filtering at the
input of the amplifier. Note that all current sensing IC’s are
vulnerable to this problem, regardless of manufacturer
claims. Filtering is required at the input of the device to
resolve this problem, even if the spike frequencies are above
the rated bandwidth of the device.
Input filtering is complicated by the fact that the added
resistance of the filter resistors and the associated resistance
mismatch between them can adversely affect gain, CMRR,
and VOS. The effect on VOS is partly due to input bias
currents as well. As a result, the value of the input resistors
should be limited to 10 W or less. Ideally, select the capacitor
to exactly match the time constant of the shunt resistor and
its inductance; alternatively, select the capacitor to provide
a pole below that point. As an example, a filtering frequency
of 100 kHz would require an 82 nF capacitor. The capacitor
can have a low voltage rating, but should have good high
frequency characteristics.
Make the input filter time constant equal to or larger than
the shunt and its inductance time constant:
Advantages When Used for Low−Side Current Sensing
The NCS199AxR series offer many advantages for
low−side current sensing. The true differential input is ideal
for connection to either Kelvin Sensing shunts or
conventional shunts. Additionally, the true differential input
rejects the common−mode noise often present even in
low−side current sensing. The NCS199AxR also provides a
reference pin to set the output offset from an external
reference. Providing all of these features in a tiny package
makes the NCS199AxR very competitive when compared to
discrete op amp solutions.

Designing for Input Transients Exceeding 30 Volts
For applications that have transient common−mode
voltages greater than 30 volts, external input resistors of
10 W provide a convenient location to add either Zener
diodes or transient voltage suppression diodes (also known
as TVS diodes). There are two possible configurations: one
using a single TVS diode with diodes across the amplifier
inputs as shown in Figure 33, and the second configuration
using two TVS diodes as shown in Figure 34.
If the main purpose is to filter high frequency noise, the
capacitor should be increased to a value that provides the
desired filtering.
As the shunt resistors decrease in value, shunt inductance
can significantly affect frequency response. At values below
1 mW, the shunt inductance causes a zero in the transfer
function that often results in corner frequencies in the low
100’s of kHz. This inductance increases the amplitude of

Selecting the Shunt Resistor
Use Zener diodes or unidirectional TVS diodes with
clamping voltage ratings up to a maximum of 30 volts.
Select TVS diodes with the lowest voltage rating possible
for use in the system. There is a wide range between standoff
voltage and maximum clamping voltage in TVS diodes.
Most diodes rated at a standoff voltage of 18 V have a
maximum clamping voltage of 29.2 V. Refer to the TVS data
sheet and the parameters of your power supply to make the
selection. In general, higher power TVS diodes demonstrate
a sharper clamping knee; providing a tighter relationship
between rated breakdown and maximum clamping voltage.
The desired accuracy of the current measurement
determines the precision, shunt size, and the resistor value.
The larger the resistor value, the more accurate the
measurement possible, but a large resistor value also results
in greater current loss.
For the most accurate measurements, use four terminal
current sense resistors, as shown in Figure 35. It provides
two terminals for the current path in the application circuit,
and a second pair for the voltage detection path of the sense
amplifier. This technique is also known as Kelvin Sensing.
This insures that the voltage measured by the sense amplifier
is the actual voltage across the resistor and does not include
the small resistance of a combined connection. When using
non−Kelvin shunts, follow manufacturer recommendations
on how to lay out the sensing traces closely.

Current Output Configuration
In applications where the readout boards are remotely
located, the voltage output of the NCS199AxR can be
converted to a precision current output. The precision output
current measurements are read more accurately as it
overcomes the errors due to ground drops between the
boards.

overcome most ground voltage drop, stray voltages, and
noise. However, accuracy will degrade if noise or ground
drops exceed 1 V.
As shown in Figure 36, the RIOUT resistor is added
between the OUT pin and the REF pin to convert the voltage
output to a current output which is taken from the REF pin
to the readout board. This circuit is intended to function with
low potentials between the boards due to ground drops or
noise. The current output is simply the relationship of the
normal output voltage of the NCS199AxR:

Shutting Down the NCS199AxR
While the NCS199AxR does not provide a shutdown pin,
a simple MOSFET, power switch, or logic gate can be used
to switch off the power to the NCS199AxR and eliminate the
quiescent current. Note that the shunt input pins will always
have a current flow via the input and feedback resistors (total
resistance of each leg always equals slightly higher than
1 MW). Also note that when powered, the shunt input pins
will exhibit the specified and well−matched typical bias
current of 39 mA. The shunt input pins support the rated
common mode voltage even when the NCS199AxR does
not have power applied.

R IOUT
A resistor value of 1 kW for RIOUT is always a convenient
value as it provides 1 mA/V scaling.
On the readout board, for simplicity, RITOV can be equal
to RIOUT to provide identical voltage drops across both. It is
important to take into consideration that RITOV and RIOUT
add additional voltage drops in the current measurement
path. The current source can provide enough compliance to
