GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8215 is a high voltage, precision current shunt monitor. It
features a set gain of 20 V/V, with a maximum 0.3% gain error
over the entire temperature range. The buffered output voltage
directly interfaces with any typical converter. Excellent common-
mode rejection from −2 V to +65 V is independent of the 5 V
supply. The AD8215 performs unidirectional current
measurements across a shunt resistor in a variety of industrial
and automotive applications, such as motor controls, solenoid
controls, or battery management.
Special circuitry is devoted to output linearity being maintained
throughout the input differential voltage range of 0 mV to 250 m V,
regardless of the common-mode voltage present. The AD8215
has an operating temperature range of −40°C to +125°C and is
offered in a small 8-lead SOIC_N package.
