Product details
Overview
AD8206WHRZ from Analog Devices is a high common-mode voltage, bidirectional current shunt amplifier optimized for automotive high-side current sensing in solenoid and motor control systems. It features 20 V/V gain, −2 V to +65 V operating common-mode range, ±4.5 mV total offset error over temperature, 80 dB CMRR (dc to 20 kHz), and operates from −40°C to +150°C. Used in diesel-injection controls and transmission controls where precision under extreme thermal stress is critical.
For engineers reviewing the AD8206WHRZ datasheet, AD8206WHRZ pinout, AD8206WHRZ application, or AD8206WHRZ equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, SOIC-8 terminal mapping, WH-grade thermal performance context, output offset adjustment methods, and automotive-qualified alternatives aligned with AEC-Q100-relevant use cases.
Technical Context
The AD8206WHRZ implements a two-stage difference amplifier architecture with precision laser-trimmed resistor networks (matching <0.01%) enabling 80 dB CMRR up to 20 kHz. Its input attenuators (1/16.7 ratio) scale high common-mode voltages into the internal op-amp's safe input range while preserving differential signal integrity.
Output offset is programmable via dual VREF pins supporting ratiometric half-scale (VREF1=V+, VREF2=GND), ground-referenced (both VREF=GND), or V+-referenced (both VREF=V+) configurations - enabling unidirectional or bidirectional current measurement without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain | 20 V/V with ±1.2% accuracy over −40°C to +150°C - ensures stable current-to-voltage scaling across full automotive thermal envelope. |
| Common-Mode Range | −2 V to +65 V continuous - supports direct high-side sensing on 12 V/24 V/42 V battery rails with transient survival to +75 V. |
| Offset Error | ±4.5 mV max over temperature (RTI) - limits current measurement error to ≤±225 µA on 20 mΩ shunt at 25°C calibration. |
| CMRR | 76–80 dB (dc to 20 kHz) - rejects noise from PWM switching edges and load transients in motor/solenoid drivers. |
| Bandwidth | 100 kHz small-signal −3 dB - captures fast current changes during solenoid actuation or H-bridge commutation. |
| Quiescent Current | 2.2 mA at +150°C - enables low-power operation in always-on vehicle subsystems without thermal derating. |
| Output Range | 0.08 V to 4.65 V (VS = 5 V, RL = 25 kΩ) - provides 4.57 V dynamic range for 12-bit ADC interfacing with margin. |
Pinout & Package
AD8206WHRZ is housed in an 8-lead SOIC_N (R-8) package per JEDEC MS-012-AA, 3.9 mm × 4.9 mm body, 1.27 mm pitch, with gull-wing leads and RoHS-compliant matte tin finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (−IN) | Inverting input | Connects to shunt resistor low side; accepts differential voltage up to ±125 mV with common-mode rejection. |
| 2 (GND) | Analog ground reference | System ground return for internal bias and output stage; must be low-impedance path to minimize noise coupling. |
| 3 (VREF2) | Offset reference input | Paired with VREF1 to set output DC level; tied to GND/V+/external reference to configure unidirectional or bidirectional mode. |
| 4 (NC) | No connect | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - no PCB trace or solder mask opening required. |
| 5 (OUT) | Amplified output | Single-ended voltage output (0.08–4.65 V) driving ADC or controller; 2 Ω output impedance supports 25 kΩ minimum load. |
| 6 (V+) | Positive supply | 4.5–5.5 V single supply input; backside potential tied to V+; reverse supply protected to −0.3 V. |
| 7 (VREF1) | Offset reference input | Functionally identical to VREF2; used in parallel or differential configuration with VREF2 for precise ratiometric offset control. |
| 8 (+IN) | Non-inverting input | Connects to shunt resistor high side; enables high-side sensing with common-mode voltage up to +65 V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional current sensing | Configurable output offset (0.08–4.65 V) enables symmetric ±100 mV input range for H-bridge motor control with zero-crossing detection. |
| Automotive-grade thermal rating | −40°C to +150°C operating range (WH grade) meets under-hood engine compartment requirements without derating. |
| Laser-trimmed resistor network | 0.01% ratio matching ensures ≥76 dB guaranteed CMRR across temperature - critical for accurate PWM-current reconstruction. |
| Programmable output reference | VREF1/VREF2 pins allow ratiometric half-scale offset (V+/2) without external voltage dividers - reduces BOM count and layout area. |
| High common-mode survival | −25 V to +75 V continuous input rating protects against load-dump transients and inductive kickback in 12 V/24 V systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high common-mode voltage current shunt amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4080TASA+ | 20 V/V gain, −0.1 V to +65 V common-mode, 125°C max temp, SOIC-8 | Lacks WH-grade 150°C rating; lower CMRR (74 dB) and higher offset drift (25 µV/°C) | Acceptable for under-dash modules but not under-hood engine bay placement. |
| INA240A1QDRQ1 | 20 V/V gain, −4 V to +80 V common-mode, AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C), SOIC-8 | Higher common-mode survival (+80 V), but only rated to +125°C - insufficient for WH-grade thermal margin. | Preferred for 48 V systems requiring extended common-mode range, but requires thermal derating above 125°C. |
Compared with MAX4080TASA+ and INA240A1QDRQ1, AD8206WHRZ uniquely combines AEC-Q100-compliant WH-grade 150°C operation, 80 dB CMRR stability up to 20 kHz, and dual-VREF programmability - making it the only option qualified for direct mounting on diesel engine control units without heatsinking.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous common-mode voltage the AD8206WHRZ can handle?
The AD8206WHRZ supports a continuous input common-mode voltage range of −2 V to +65 V. Its absolute maximum rating extends to −25 V to +75 V for survival under transient conditions such as load dump or inductive kickback, making it suitable for 12 V, 24 V, and 42 V automotive battery systems. This specification is validated across the full −40°C to +150°C operating range of the AD8206WHRZ.
How does the AD8206WHRZ achieve bidirectional current measurement?
The AD8206WHRZ achieves bidirectional current measurement by allowing programmable output offset via its VREF1 and VREF2 pins. When configured with VREF1 tied to V+ and VREF2 to GND, the output centers at V+/2 (e.g., 2.5 V at 5 V supply), enabling symmetric response to ±100 mV differential inputs. This mid-scale offset permits detection of current flow direction in H-bridge motor control or solenoid reversal without external components - a core capability of the AD8206WHRZ.
Is the AD8206WHRZ pin-compatible with other AD8206 variants like AD8206YRZ?
Yes, the AD8206WHRZ is pin-compatible with all AD8206 variants including AD8206YRZ and AD8206WYRZ, sharing identical 8-lead SOIC_N (R-8) packaging, pinout, and electrical interface. The WH grade differs only in extended temperature qualification (−40°C to +150°C vs. +125°C) and slightly reduced max output voltage (4.65 V vs. 4.7 V at 5 V supply), with no changes to pin function or layout requirements - enabling drop-in replacement in thermally demanding automotive designs.
What is the typical quiescent current of the AD8206WHRZ at maximum operating temperature?
The AD8206WHRZ draws 2.2 mA quiescent current when operating at +150°C with VO = 0.1 V dc, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value remains stable across the full 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply range and is critical for low-power always-on vehicle subsystems such as engine control units, where thermal management and battery drain must be minimized - a confirmed parameter for the AD8206WHRZ.
Can the AD8206WHRZ be used with supply voltages other than 5 V?
Yes, the AD8206WHRZ operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply voltage, with absolute maximum rating of 12.5 V. While the datasheet specifies key parameters (e.g., output range, offset adjustment) at VS = 5 V, the device maintains functional operation across its rated supply range. Output offset adjustment remains ratiometric - e.g., half-scale output shifts proportionally with supply voltage - preserving accuracy in systems with regulated 4.8 V or 5.2 V rails. This behavior is explicitly documented for the AD8206WHRZ.
