GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8418A is a high voltage, high resolution current shunt
amplifier. It features an initial gain of 20 V/V, with a maximum
±0.15% gain error over the entire temperature range. The buffered
output voltage directly interfaces with any typical converter. The
AD8418A offers excellent input common-mode rejection from
−2 V to +70 V. e AD8418A performs bidirectional current
measurements across a shunt resistor in a variety of automotive
and industrial applications, including motor control, power
management, and solenoid control.
The AD8418A 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 AD8418A 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 ±100 μV. The AD8418A is offered in 8-lead MSOP and SOIC
packages.
