Analog Devices' Current Sense Amplifier Achieves Industry's Highest Accuracy for Industrial and Automotive Applications- The AD8207 high-voltage current sense amplifier is the first to deliver a max 1 uV/°C offset temperaturedrift while featuring negative common-mode voltage operation and high bandwidth; amplifier is suitable for a variety of PWM closed-loop current control systems.   NORWOOD,
Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI), a world leader in semiconductors for mixed-signal processing
applications and leading supplier of signal conditioning technology, today introduced the industry’s most accurate
high-voltage amplifier for current sensing applications. The AD8207 zero-drift, high-voltage, bi-directional
current sense amplifier meets the robust performance and quality requirements for motor and solenoid control in
industrial and automotive applications. The product features breakthrough temperature accuracy specified at a
maximum of 1 μV/°C offset drift over the automotive temperature range of -40 degrees C to 125 degrees C -- a
5-fold improvement over competing devices. Click here to see the AD8207 Current Sense Amplifier video. The unique architecture of the AD8207 accurately amplifies small differential current shunt voltages in the presence of rapidly changing common-mode voltages ranging from -4 V to 65 V. The new current sense amplifier rejects PWM (pulse width modulation) input common-mode voltages, while the zero-drift architecture yields the lowest offset drift performance available today.
