FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Typical 0.1 µV/°C offset drift
The AD8417 is a high voltage, high resolution current shunt
amplifier. It features an initial gain of 60 V/V, with a maximum
0.3% gain error over the entire temperature range. The
buffered output voltage directly interfaces with any typical
converter. The AD8417 offers excellent input common-mode
rejection from −2 V to +70 V. The AD8417 performs bidirectional
current measurements across a shunt resistor in a variety of
automotive and industrial applications, including motor control,
power management, and solenoid control.
Maximum 400 µV voltage offset over full temperature range
2.7 V to 5.5 V power supply operating range
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) filters included
High common-mode input voltage range
−2 V to +70 V continuous
−4 V to +85 V survival
Initial gain = 60 V/V
Wide operating temperature range
AD8417WB: −40°C to +125°C
The AD8417 offers breakthrough performance throughout the
−40°C to +150°C temperature range. It features a zero drift core,
which leads to a typical offset drift of 0.1 µV/°C throughout the
operating temperature range and the common-mode voltage
range. The AD8417 is qualified for automotive applications. The
device includes EMI filters and patented circuitry to enable
output accuracy with pulse-width modulation (PWM) type
input common-mode voltages. The typical input offset voltage
is 200 µ V. T h e AD8417 is offered in 8-lead MSOP and SOIC
packages.
