Analog Devices Inc. AD8418 Current Sense Amplifiers
Analog Devices Inc. AD8418 Current Sense Amplifiers feature an initial gain of 20V/V, with a maximum ±0.15% gain error over the entire temperature range. The buffered output voltage directly interfaces with any typical converter. The AD8418 offers excellent input common-mode rejection from -2V to +70V. The AD8418 performs bidirectional current measurements across a shunt resistor in a variety of automotive and industrial applications, including motor control, battery management, and solenoid control.The AD8418 offers breakthrough performance throughout the -40°C to +125°C temperature range. It features a zero drift core, which leads to a typical offset drift of 0.1µV/°C throughout the operating temperature range and the common-mode voltage range. Analog Devices AD8418 current sense amplifier is fully qualified for automotive applications and includes EMI filters and patented circuitry to enable output accuracy with pulse-width modulation (PWM) type input common-mode voltages.
