FeaTures DescripTion

High Voltage, Bidirectional

Current Sense Amplifier

The LT

1999 is a high speed precision current sense

ampliﬁer, designed to monitor bidirectional currents over

a wide common mode range. The LT1999 is offered in

three gain options: 10V/V, 20V/V, and 50V/V.

The LT1999 senses current via an external resistive shunt

and generates an output voltage, indicating both magnitude

and direction of the sensed current. The output voltage is

referenced halfway between the supply voltage and ground,

or an external voltage can be used to set the reference

level. With a 2MHz bandwidth and a common mode input

range of –5V to 80V, the LT1999 is suitable for monitoring

currents in H-Bridge motor controls, switching power

supplies, solenoid currents, and battery charge currents

from full charge to depletion.

The LT1999 operates from an independent 5V supply and

draws 1.55mA. A shutdown mode is provided for minimiz-

ing power consumption.

The LT1999 is available in an 8-lead MSOP or SOP package.

elecTrical characTerisTics

Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings

may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute

Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device

reliability and lifetime.

Note 2: Pin 2 (+IN) and Pin 3 (–IN) are protected by ESD voltage clamps

which have asymmetric bidirectional breakdown characteristics with respect

to the GND pin (Pin 5). These pins can safely support common mode

voltages which vary from –5.25V to 88V without triggering an ESD clamp.

Note 3: Exposure to differential sense voltages exceeding the normal

operating range for extended periods of time may degrade part

performance. A heat sink may be required to keep the junction temperature

below the Absolute Maximum Rating when the inputs are stressed

differentially. The amount of power dissipated in the LT1999 due to input

overdrive can be approximated by:

DISS =V+IN −V−IN

(

)

8kΩ

Note 4: A heat sink may be required to keep the junction temperature

below the absolute maximum rating.

Note 5: The LT1999C/LT1999I are guaranteed functional over the operating

temperature range –40°C to 85°C. The LT1999H is guaranteed functional

over the operating temperature range –40°C to 125°C. The LT1999MP is

guaranteed functional over the operating temperature range –55°C to 150°C.

Junction temperatures greater than 125°C will promote accelerated aging.

The LT1999 has a demonstrated typical life beyond 1000 hours at 150°C.

Note 6: The LT1999C is guaranteed to meet specified performance from

0°C to 70°C. The LT1999C is designed, characterized, and expected to

meet specified performance from –40°C to 85°C but is not tested or

QA sampled at these temperatures. The LT1999I is guaranteed to meet

specified performance from –40°C to 85°C. The LT1999H is guaranteed

to meet specified performance from –40°C to 125°C. The LT1999MP is

guaranteed to meet specified performance from –55°C to 150°C.

Note 7: Full-scale sense (VSENSE) gives indication of the maximum

differential input that can be applied with better than 0.5% gain accuracy.

Gain accuracy is degraded when the output saturates against either power

supply rail. VSENSE is verified with V+ = 5.5V, VCM = 12V, with the REF pin

set to it’s voltage range limits. The maximum VSENSE is verified with the

REF pin set to it’s minimum specified limit, verifying the gain error is less

than 0.5% at the output. The minimum VSENSE is verified with the REF pin

set to its maximum specified limit, verifying the gain error at the output is

less than 0.5%. See Note 9 for more information.

Note 8: IB is defined as the average of the input bias currents to the +IN

and –IN pins (Pins 2 and 3). A positive current indicates current flowing

into the pin. IOS is defined as the difference of the input bias currents.

IOS = I(+IN) – I(–IN)

Note 9: The REF pin voltage range is the minimum and maximum limits

that ensures the input referred voltage offset does not exceed ±3mV over

the I, C, and H temperature ranges, and ±3.5mV over the MP temperature

range.

Note 10: Common mode recovery time is defined as the time it takes the

output of the LT1999 to recover from a 50V, 20ns input common mode

voltage transition, and settle to within the DC amplifier specifications.

Note 11: Operating the LT1999 with V+ < 4.5V is possible, although the

LT1999 is not tested or specified in this condition. See the Applications

Information section.

pin FuncTions

V+ (Pins 1, 4): Power Supply Voltage. Pins 1 and 4 are

tied internally together. The speciﬁed range of operation

is 4.5V to 5.5V, but lower supply voltages (down to ap-

proximately 4V) is possible although the LT1999 is not

tested or characterized below 4.5V. See the Applications

Information section.

+IN (Pin 2): Positive Sense Input Pin.

–IN (Pin 3): Negative Sense Input Pin.

GND (Pin 5): Ground Pin.

REF (Pin 6): Reference Pin Input. The REF pin sets the

output common mode level and is set halfway between V+

and GND using a divider made of two 160k resistors. The

default open circuit potential of the REF pin is mid-supply.

It can be overdriven by an external voltage source cable

of driving 80k to a mid-supply potential (see the Electrical

Characteristics table for its speciﬁed input voltage range).

OUT (Pin 7): Voltage Output. VOUT = AV•(VSENSE ± VOSI),

where AV is the gain, and VOSI is the input referred off-

set voltage. The output ampliﬁer has a low impedance

output and is designed to drive up to 200pF capacitive

loads directly. Capacitive loads exceeding 200pF should

be decoupled with an external resistor of at least 100Ω.

SHDN (Pin 8): Shutdown Pin. When pulled to within 0.5V

of GND (Pin 5), will place the LT1999 into low power

shutdown. If the pin is left ﬂoating, an internal 2µA pull-

up current source will place the LT1999 into the active

(amplifying) state.

The LT1999 current sense ampliﬁer provides accurate

bidirectional monitoring of current through a user-selected

sense resistor. The voltage generated by the current ﬂowing

in the sense resistor is ampliﬁed by a ﬁxed gain of 10V/V,

20V/V or 50V/V (LT1999-10, LT1999-20, or LT1999-50

respectively) and is level shifted to the OUT pin. The volt-

age difference and polarity of the OUT pin with respect

to REF (Pin 6) indicates magnitude and direction of the

current in the sense resistor.

THEORY OF OPERATION

Refer to the Block Diagram (Figure 1).

Case 1: V+ < VCM < 80V

For input common mode voltages exceeding the power

supply, one can assume D1 of Figure 1 is completely off.

The sensed voltage (VSENSE) is applied across Pin 2 (+IN)

and Pin 3 (–IN) to matched resistors R+IN and R–IN (nomi-

nally 4k each). The opposite ends of R+IN and R–IN are

forced to equal potentials by transconductor GIN, which

convert the differentially sensed voltage into a sensed

current. The sensed current in R+IN and R–IN is combined,

level-shifted, and converted back into a voltage by trans-

resistance ampliﬁer AO and resistor RG. Ampliﬁer AO pro-

vides high open loop gain to accurately convert the sensed

current back into a voltage and to drive external loads. The

theoretical output voltage is determined by the sensed

voltage (VSENSE), and the ratio of two on-chip resistors:

VOUT −VREF =VSENSE •

RIN

where

RIN =

+IN

−IN

nominally 4k

For the LT1999-10, RG is nominally 40k. For the LT1999-20,

RG is nominally 80k, and for the LT1999-50, RG is nomi-

nally 200k.

applicaTions inForMaTion

The voltage difference between the OUT pin and the REF

pin represent both polarity and magnitude of the sensed

voltage. The noninverting input of ampliﬁer AO is biased

by a resistive 160k to 160k divider tied between V+ and

GND to set the default REF pin bias to mid-supply.

Case 2: –5V < VCM < V+

For common mode inputs which transition or are set below

the supply voltage, diode D1 will turn on and will provide a

source of current through R+S and R–S to bias the inputs

of transconductance ampliﬁer GIN at least 2.25V above

GND. The transition is smooth and continuous; there are

negligible changes to either gain or ampliﬁer voltage off-

set. The only difference in ampliﬁer operation is the bias

currents provided by D1 through R+S and R–S are steered

through the input pins, otherwise ampliﬁer operation is

identical. The inputs to transconductance ampliﬁer GIN are

still forced to equal potentials forcing any differential volt-

ages appearing at the +IN and –IN pins into a differential

current. This differential current is combined, level-shifted,

and converted back into a voltage by trans-resistance

ampliﬁer AO and Resistor RG. Resistors R+S and R–S are

trimmed to match R+IN and R–IN respectively, to prevent

common mode to differential conversion from occurring

(to the extent of the matched trim) when the input com-

mon mode transitions below V+.

As described in case 1, the output is determined by the

sense voltage and the ratio of two on-chip resistors:

VOUT −VREF =VSENSE •

Input Common Mode Range

The LT1999 was optimized for high common mode re-

jection. Its input stage is balanced and fully differential,

designed to amplify differential signals and reject common

mode signals. There is negligible crossover distortion due

to sense voltage reversals. The ampliﬁer is most linear in

the zero-sense region.

With the V+ supply conﬁgured within the speciﬁed and

tested range (4.5V < V+ < 5.5V), the LT1999’s common

mode range extends from –5V to 80V. Pushing +IN and

–IN beyond the limits speciﬁed in the Absolute Maximum

table can turn on the voltage clamps designed to protect

the +IN and –IN pins during ESD events.

It is possible to operate the LT1999 on power supplies

as low as 4V (although it is not tested or speciﬁed below

4.5V). Operating the LT1999 on supplies below 4V will

produce erratic behavior. When operating the LT1999

with supplies as low as 4V, the common mode range for

inputs which extend below GND is reduced. Refer to the

Block Diagram (Figure 1). For inputs driven below V+,

diode D1 conducts. For proper operation, the input to the

transconductor V(G+IN) must be biased at approximately

2.25V above the GND pin. V(G+IN) sits on the centertap

of a voltage divider comprised of R+S and R+IN V(G–IN)

likewise sits in the middle of the voltage divider comprised

of R–S , and R–IN). The voltage on V(G+IN) input is given

by the following equation:

V(G+IN)=V+IN•

R+S+R+IN

+V+−VD1

(

)

•R+IN

R+S+R+IN

Setting V(G+IN) = 2.25V, the ratio (R+IN/R+S) to 5, and VD1

equal to 0.8V (cold temperatures), a plot of the lower input

common mode range plotted against supply is shown in

Figure 3.

Output Common Mode Range

The LT1999’s output common mode level is set by the

voltage on the REF pin. The REF pin sits in the middle of

a 160k to 160k voltage divider connected between V+ and

GND which sets the default open circuit potential of the

REF pin to mid-supply. It can be overdriven by an external

voltage source capable of driving 80k tied to a mid-supply

potential. See the Electrical Characteristics table for the

REF pin’s speciﬁed input voltage range.

Differential sampling of the OUT pin with respect the REF

pin provides the best noise immunity. Measurements of

the output voltage made differentially with respect to the

REF pin will provide the highest power supply and com-

mon mode rejection. Otherwise, power supply or GND pin

disturbances are divided by the REF pin’s voltage divider

and appear directly at the noninverting input of the trans-

resistance ampliﬁer AO and are not rejected.

If not driven by a low impedance (<100Ω), the REF pin

should be ﬁltered with at least 1nF of capacitance to a

low impedance, low noise ground plane. This external

capacitance will also provide a charge reservoir during

high frequency sampling of the REF pin by ADC inputs

attached to this pin.

Shutdown Capability

If SHDN (Pin 8) is driven to within 0.5V of GND, the LT1999

is placed into a low power shutdown state in which the

part will draw about 3μA from the V+ supply. The input

pins (+IN and –IN) will draw approximately 1nA if biased

within the range of 0V to 80V (with no differential voltage

applied). If the input pins are pulled below the GND pin,

each input appears as a diode tied to GND in series with

approximately 4k of resistance. The REF pin appears as

approximately 0.4MΩ tied to a mid-supply potential. The

output appears as reverse biased diodes tied between the

output to either V+ or GND pins.

EMI Filtering and Layout Practices

An internal 1st order differential lowpass noise/EMI sup-

pression ﬁlter with a –3dB bandwidth of 10MHz (approxi-

mately 5× the LT1999’s –3dB bandwidth) is included to

help improve the LT1999’s EMI susceptibility and to assist

with the rejection of high frequency signals beyond the

bandwidth of the LT1999 that may introduce errors. The

pole is set by the following equation:

fﬁlt = 1/(π•(R+IN + R–IN)•CF) ≈ 10MHz

Both the resistors and capacitors have a ±15% variation

so the pole can vary by approximately ±30% over manu-

facturing process and temperature variations.

The layout for lowest EMI/noise susceptibility is achieved

by keeping short direct connections and minimizing loop

areas (see Figure 4). If the user-supplied sense resistor

cannot be placed in close proximity to the LT1999, the

surface area of the loop comprising connections of +IN

to RSENSE and back to –IN should be minimized. This

requires routing PCB traces connecting +IN to RSENSE

and –IN to RSENSE adjacent with one another with minimal

separation. The metal traces connecting +IN to the sense

resistor and –IN to the sense resistor should match and

use the same trace width.

Bypassing the V+ pin to the GND pin with a 0.1µF capacitor

with short wiring connection is recommended.

The REF pin should be either driven by a low source im-

pedance (<100Ω) or should be bypassed with at least 1nF

to a low impedance, low noise, signal ground plane (see

Figure 4). Larger bypass capacitors on both V+ pins, and

the REF pin, will extend enhanced AC CMRR, and PSRR

performance to lower frequencies. Bypassing the REF pin

to a quiet ground plane ﬁlters the V+ pin or GND pin noise

that is sensed by the REF pin voltage divider and applied

to the noninverting input of output ampliﬁer AO. Any com-

mon I•R drops generated by pulsating ground currents in

common with the REF pin ﬁlter capacitor can compromise

the ﬁltering performance and should be avoided.

If the SHDN pin is not driven and is left ﬂoating, routing

a PCB trace connecting Pins 1 and 8 under the part will

act as a shield, and will help limit edge coupling from the

inputs (Pins 2 and 3) to the SHDN pin. Periodic pulses on

the inputs with fast edges may glitch the high impedance

SHDN pin, periodically putting the part into low power

shutdown. Additional precaution against this may be taken

by adding an optional small (~10pF) capacitor may be tied

between V+ (Pin 1) and Pin 8.

Finally, when connecting the LT1999 inputs to the sense

resistor, it is important to use good Kelvin sensing practices

(sensing the resistor in a way that excludes PCB trace

I•R voltage drops). For sense resistors less than 1Ω, one

might consider using a 4-wire sense resistor to sense the

resistive element accurately.

Selection of the Current Sense Resistor

The external sense resistor selection presents a delicate

trade-off between power dissipation in the resistor and

current measurement accuracy.

In high current applications, the user may want to mini-

mize the power dissipated in the sense resistor. The sense

resistor current will create heat and voltage loss, degrading

efﬁciency. As a result, the sense resistor should be as small

as possible while still providing adequate dynamic range

required by the measurement. The dynamic range is the

ratio between the maximum accurately produced signal

generated by the voltage across the sense resistor, and

the minimum accurately reproduced signal. The minimum

accurately reproduced signal is primarily dictated by the

voltage offset of the LT1999. The maximum accurately

reproduced signal is dictated by the output swing of the

LT1999.

Thus the dynamic range for the LT1999 can be thought of

the maximum sense voltage divided by the input referred

voltage offset or:

Dynamic Range =

∆V

OUT(MAX)

GAIN •VOSI

The above equation tells us that the dynamic range is

inversely proportional to the gain of the LT1999. Thus,

if accuracy is of greater importance than efﬁciency or

power loss, the LT1999-10 used with the highest valued

sense resistor possible is recommended. If efﬁciency,

heat generated, and power loss in the resistive shunt is

the primary concern, the LT1999-50 and the lowest value

sense resistor possible is recommended. The LT1999-20

is available for applications somewhere in between these

two extremes.

Figure 5. Using the LT1999 to Monitor a Fuse

Fuse Monitor

The inputs can be overdriven without fear of damaging

the LT1999. This makes the LT1999 ideal for monitoring

fuses if either +IN or –IN are shorted to ground while the

other is at the full common mode supply voltage (see

Figure 5). If the fuse in Figure 5 opens with the +IN tied

to the positive supply, the load will pull –IN to GND. The

output will be forced to the positive V+ supply rail. If it is

desired that the output be near ground if the fuse opens,

it is a simple matter of swapping the inputs. Precautions

should be followed: First, when the inputs are stressed

differentially due to the fuse blowing open, a large voltage

drop will be placed across the +IN to –IN pins, dissipating

power in the precision on-chip input resistors. Precaution

should be taken to prevent junction temperatures from

exceeding the Absolute Maximum ratings (see Note 3 in the

Electrical Characteristics section). Secondly, if the load is

inductive, and the fuse blows open without a clamp diode,

energy stored in the inductive load will be dissipated in

the LT1999, which could cause damage. A simple steering

diode as shown in Figure 5 will prevent this from happen-

ing, and will protect the LT1999 from damage.

Finally, the user should be aware that in fuse monitoring

applications with the sense voltage (VSENSE = V+IN – V–IN)

being driven in excess of –25V, the output of the LT1999

will undergo phase reversal (see Figure 6).

Typical applicaTions

Solenoid Current Monitor

The solenoid of Figure 7 consists of a coil of wire in an

iron case with permeable plunger that acts as a movable

element. When the MOSFET turns on, the diode is reversed

biased off, and current ﬂows through RSENSE to actuate

the solenoid. If the MOSFET is turned off, the current

in the MOSFET is interrupted, but the energy stored in

the solenoid causes the diode to turn on and current to

freewheel in the loop consisting of the diode, RSENSE and

the solenoid.

Figure 7 shows the LT1999 monitoring currents in a

ground referenced solenoid used when the coil is hard

tied to the case, and is tied to ground. Figure 8 shows a

supply referenced solenoid whose coil is insulated from

the case. The LT1999 will interface equally well to either

of these two conﬁgurations.

Bidirectional PWM Motor Monitor

Pulse width modulation is commonly used to efﬁciently

vary the average voltage applied across a DC motor. The

H-bridge topology of Figure 9 allows full 4-quadrant control:

clockwise control, counter-clockwise control, clockwise

regeneration, and counter-clockwise regeneration. The

LT1999 in conjunction with a non-inductive current shunt

is used to monitor currents in the rotor. The LT1999 can

be used to detect stuck rotors, provide detection of over-

current conditions in general, or provide current mode

feedback control.

Figure 10 shows a plot of the output voltage of the LT1999.
