The AD8213 is a dual-channel, precision current sense amplifier. It
features a set gain of 20 V/V, with a maximum ±0.5% gain error
over the entire temperature range. The buffered output voltage
directly interfaces with any typical converter. Excellent commonmode rejection from −2 V to +65 V, is independent of the 5 V
supply. The AD8213 performs unidirectional current measurements across a shunt resistor in a variety of industrial and
automotive applications, such as motor control, solenoid
control, or battery management.
responsibility is assumed by Analog Devices for its use, nor for any infringements of patents or other
rights of third parties that may result from its use. Specifications subject to change without notice. No
license is granted by implication or otherwise under any patent or patent rights of Analog Devices.
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 AD8213
also features additional pins that allow the user to low-pass filter
the input signal before amplifying, via an external capacitor to
ground. The AD8213 has an operating temperature range of
−40°C to +125°C for the Y grade, −40°C to +150°C for the H grade
and is offered in a small 10-lead MSOP package.

THEORY OF OPERATION
In typical applications, the AD8213 amplifies a small differential
input voltage generated by the load current flowing through a
shunt resistor. The AD8213 rejects high common-mode
voltages (up to 65 V) and provides a ground referenced, buffered
output that interfaces with an analog-to-digital converter (ADC).
Figure 25 shows a simplified schematic of the AD8213.
The following explanation refers exclusively to Channel 1 of the
AD8213, however, the same explanation applies to Channel 2.
A load current flowing through the external shunt resistor
produces a voltage at the input terminals of the AD8213. The
input terminals are connected to Amplifier A1 by Resistor R1
and Resistor R1
input impedance is held to (V

Prior to the buffer amplifier, a precision-trimmed 20 kΩ resistor
is available to perform low-pass filtering of the input signal
prior to the amplification stage. This means that the noise of the
input signal is not amplified, but rejected, resulting in a more
precise output signal that will directly interface with a converter.
A capacitor from the CF1 pin to GND, will result in a low-pass
filter with a corner frequency of

APPLICATION NOTES
OUTPUT LINEARITY
In all current sensing applications, and especially in automotive
and industrial environments where the common-mode voltage
can vary significantly, it is important that the current sensor
maintain the specified output linearity, regardless of the input
differential or common-mode voltage. The AD8213 contains
specific circuitry on the input stage, which ensures that even
when the differential input voltage is very small, and the
common-mode voltage is also low (below the 5 V supply), the
input to output linearity is maintained. Figure 26 displays the
input differential voltage versus the corresponding output
voltage at different common modes.

Figure 26. Gain Linearity Due to Differential and Common-Mode Voltage
The AD8213 provides a correct output voltage, regardless of the
common mode, when the input differential is at least 2 mV.
This is due to the voltage range of the output amplifier that can
go as low as 33 mV typical. The specified minimum output
amplifier voltage is 100 mV in order to provide sufficient
guardbands. The ability of the AD8213 to work with very small
differential inputs regardless of the common-mode voltage,
allows for more dynamic range, accuracy, and flexibility in any
current sensing application.

LOW-PASS FILTERING
In typical applications, such as motor and solenoid current
sensing, filtering the differential input signal of the AD8213
could be beneficial in reducing differential common-mode
noise as well as transients and current ripples flowing through
the input shunt resistor. Typically, such a filter can be implemented by adding a resistor in series with each input and a
capacitor directly between the input pins. However, the AD8213
features a filter pin available after the input stage, but before the
final amplification stage. The user can connect a capacitor to
ground, making a low-pass filter with the internal precisiontrimmed 20 kΩ resistor. This means the no gain or CMRR
errors are introduced by adding resistors at the input of the
AD8213. Figure 27 shows the typical connection.

It is recommended that in order to prevent output chatter due
to noise potentially entering through the filter pin and coupling
to the output, a capacitor is always placed from the filter pin to
GND. This can be a ≈20 pF capacitor in cases when all of the
bandwidth of the AD8213 is needed in the application.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
HIGH-SIDE CURRENT SENSE WITH A LOW-SIDE
SWITCH
In such load control configurations, the PWM controlled switch
is ground referenced. An inductive load (solenoid) is tied to a
power supply. A resistive shunt is placed between the switch and
the load (see Figure 28). An advantage of placing the shunt on
the high side is that the entire current, including the recirculation current, can be measured, because the shunt remains in
the loop when the switch is off. In addition, diagnostics can be
enhanced because shorts to ground can be detected with the
shunt on the high side. 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.

HIGH-SIDE CURRENT SENSING
In this configuration, the shunt resistor is referenced to the
battery. High voltage will be present at the inputs of the current
sense amplifier. In this mode, the recirculation current is again
measured and shorts to ground can be detected. When the
shunt is battery referenced the AD8213 produces a linear
ground referenced analog output. An AD8214 can also be used
to provide an overcurrent detection signal in as little as 100 ns.
This feature will be useful in high current systems, where fast
shutdown in overcurrent conditions is essential.
