Operation Overview
The TP181 family is 36V common-mode, zero-drift topology, current-sensing amplifiers that can be used in both low-side and
high-side configurations. These specially-designed, current-sensing amplifiers are able to accurately measure voltages developed
across current-sensing resistors on common-mode voltages that far exceed the supply voltage powering the device. Current can be

measured on input voltage rails as high as 36 V while the device can be powered from supply voltages as low as 2.7 V.
The zero-drift topology enables high-precision measurements with maximum input offset voltages as low as 100μV with a
maximum temperature contribution of 0.5 μV/°C over the full temperature range of –40°C to 125°C.

Above figure shows the basic connections of the TP181. The input pins, IN+ and IN–, should be connected as closely as possible
to the shunt resistor to minimize any resistance in series with the shunt resistor.
Power-supply bypass capacitors are required for stability. Applications with noisy or high-impedance power supplies may require
additional decoupling capacitors to reject power-supply noise. Connect bypass capacitors close to the device pins.
Selecting RSHUNT
The zero-drift offset performance of the TP181 offers several benefits. Most often, the primary advantage of the low offset
characteristic enables lower full-scale drops across the shunt. For example, nonzero-drift current shunt monitors typically require a
full-scale range of 100 mV.
The TP181 family gives equivalent accuracy at a full-scale range on the order of 10 mV. This accuracy reduces shunt dissipation
by an order of magnitude with many additional benefits.
Alternatively, there are applications that must measure current over a wide dynamic range that can take advantage of the low
offset on the low end of the measurement. Most often, these applications can use the lower gains of the TP181 to accommodate
larger shunt drops on the upper end of the scale. For instance, an TP181A1 operating on a 3.3-V supply could easily handle a fullscale shunt drop of 60 mV, with only 100uV of offset.
REF Input Impedance Effects
As with any difference amplifier, the TP181 family common-mode rejection ratio is affected by any impedance present at the REF
input. This concern is not a problem when the REF pin is connected directly to most references or power supplies. When using
resistive dividers from the power supply or a reference voltage, the REF pin should be buffered by an op amp.
Power Supply Recommendation
The input circuitry of the TP181 can accurately measure beyond its power-supply voltage, V+. For example, the V+ power supply
www.3peakic.com.cn

Rev.A.3
TP181
Zero-Drift, Bi-directional Current Sense Amplifier
can be 5 V, whereas the load power-supply voltage can be as high as 30 V. However, the output voltage range of the OUT pin is
limited by the voltages on the power-supply pin. Note also that the TP181 can withstand the full input signal range up to 36 V at the
input pins, regardless of whether the device has power applied or not.
Proper Board Layout
To ensure optimum performance at the PCB level, care must be taken in the design of the board layout. To avoid leakage currents,
the surface of the board should be kept clean and free of moisture. Coating the surface creates a barrier to moisture accumulation
and helps reduce parasitic resistance on the board.
Keeping supply traces short and properly bypassing the power supplies minimizes power supply disturbances due to output
current variation, such as when driving an ac signal into a heavy load. Bypass capacitors should be connected as closely as possible
to the device supply pins. Stray capacitances are a concern at the outputs and the inputs of the amplifier. It is recommended that
signal traces be kept at least 5mm from supply lines to minimize coupling.
A variation in temperature across the PCB can cause a mismatch in the Seebeck voltages at solder joints and other points where
dissimilar metals are in contact, resulting in thermal voltage errors. To minimize these thermocouple effects, orient resistors so heat
sources warm both ends equally. Input signal paths should contain matching numbers and types of components, where possible to
match the number and type of thermocouple junctions. For example, dummy components such as zero value resistors can be used
to match real resistors in the opposite input path. Matching components should be located in close proximity and should be oriented
in the same manner. Ensure leads are of equal length so that thermal conduction is in equilibrium. Keep heat sources on the PCB as
far away from amplifier input circuitry as is practical.
The use of a ground plane is highly recommended. A ground plane reduces EMI noise and also helps to maintain a constant
temperature across the circuit board.
