THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD8209A is a single-supply difference amplifier typically used
to amplify a small differential voltage in the presence of rapidly
changing, high common-mode voltages.
The AD8209A consists of two amplifiers (A1 and A2), a resistor
network, a small voltage reference, and a bias circuit (not shown);
see Figure 23.
The set of input attenuators preceding A1 consist of R
A
, R
B
, and
R
C
, which feature a combined series resistance of approximately
400 kΩ ± 20%. The purpose of these resistors is to attenuate the
input voltage to match the input voltage range of A1. This balanced
resistor network attenuates the common-mode signal by a ratio
of 1/14. The A1 amplifier inputs are held within the power supply
range, even as Pin 1 and Pin 8 exceed the supply or fall below the
common (ground). A reference voltage of 350 mV biases the
attenuator above ground, allowing Amplifier A1 to operate in
the presence of negative common-mode voltages.
The input resistor network also attenuates normal (differential)
mode voltages. Therefore, A1 features a gain of 97 V/V to provide
a total system gain, from ±IN to the output of A1, equal to 7 V / V,
as shown in the following equation:
Gain (A1) = 1/14 (V/V) × 97 (V/V) = 7 V/V
A precision trimmed, 100 kΩ resistor is placed in series with the
output of Amplifier A1. The user has access to this resistor via
an external pin (A1).
A low-pass filter can be easily implemented by connecting A1 to
A2 and placing a capacitor to ground (see Figure 32).
The value of R
F1
and R
F2
is 10 kΩ, providing a gain of 2 V/V for
Amplifier A2. When connecting Pin A1 and Pin A2 together, the
AD8209A provides a total system gain equal to
Total Gain of (A1 + A2) (V/V) = 7 (V/V) × 2 (V/V) = 14 V/V
at the output of A2 (the OUT pin).
The ratios of R
A
, R
B
, R
C
, and R
F
are trimmed to a high level of
precision, allowing a typical CMRR value that exceeds 80 dB. This
performance is accomplished by laser trimming the resistor ratio
matching to better than 0.01%.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
HIGH-SIDE CURRENT SENSING
WITH A LOW-SIDE SWITCH
In load control configurations for high-side current sensing with a
low-side switch, the pulse-width modulation (PWM) controlled
switch is ground referenced. An inductive load (solenoid) connects
to a power supply/battery. A resistive shunt is placed between the
switch and the load (see Figure 24). An advantage of placing the
shunt on the high side is that the entire current, including the
recirculation current, is monitored because the shunt remains
in the loop when the switch is off. In addition, shorts to ground can
be detected with the shunt on the high side, enhancing the
diagnostics of the control loop. In this circuit configuration, when
the switch is closed, the common-mode voltage moves down to
near the negative rail. When the switch is opened, the voltage
reversal across the inductive load causes the common-mode
voltage to be held one diode drop above the battery by the
clamp diode.
Figure 24. Low-Side Switch
In cases where a high-side switch is used for PWM control of the
load current in an application, the AD8209A can be used as shown
in Figure 25. The recirculation current through the freewheeling
diode (clamp diode) is monitored through the shunt resistor. In
this configuration, the common-mode voltage in the application
drops below GND when the FET is switched off. The AD8209A
operates down to −2 V, providing an accurate current measurement.
Figure 25. High-Side Switch
HIGH RAIL CURRENT SENSING
In the high rail current sensing configuration, the shunt resistor is
referenced to the battery. High voltage is present at the inputs of
the current sense amplifier. When the shunt is battery referenced,
the AD8209A produces a linear ground-referenced analog output.
Additionally, the AD8214 can be used to provide an overcurrent
detection signal in as little as 100 ns (see Figure 26). This feature is
useful in high current systems where fast shutdown in overcurrent
conditions is essential.

LOW-SIDE CURRENT SENSING
In systems where low-side current sensing is preferable, the
AD8209A provides a simple, high accuracy, integrated solution. In
this configuration, the AD8209A rejects ground noise and offers
high input to output linearity, regardless of the differential input
voltage.
