Product details
Overview
AD8418AWHRZ-RL from Analog Devices is a bidirectional, zero-drift current sense amplifier optimized for high-side and low-side shunt-based current measurement in automotive motor and solenoid control systems. It delivers 20 V/V fixed gain, ±200 μV max input offset over −40°C to +150°C, 90 dB min DC CMRR, −2 V to +70 V continuous common-mode input range, and 250 kHz small-signal bandwidth.
For engineers reviewing the AD8418AWHRZ-RL datasheet, AD8418AWHRZ-RL pinout, AD8418AWHRZ-RL application, or AD8418AWHRZ-RL equivalent, key selection criteria include AEC-Q100 qualification, FMEA-tolerant 10-lead MSOP packaging, PWM common-mode rejection capability, ratiometric output offset adjustment, and compatibility with 2.7 V–5.5 V single-supply operation.
Technical Context
The AD8418AWHRZ-RL employs a proprietary zero-drift architecture enabling 0.1 μV/°C typical offset drift and <400 nV/°C max drift across −40°C to +150°C. Its EMI-filtered inputs and patented circuitry reject fast-changing PWM common-mode voltages up to 1 V/ns while maintaining stable 20 V/V gain accuracy (±0.15% over temperature).
It supports unidirectional and bidirectional operation via configurable reference pins (VREF1/VREF2), allowing ground-referenced, supply-referenced, or externally referenced output offsets - including ratiometric mid-scale biasing by connecting VREF1 to VS and VREF2 to GND.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain | 20 V/V fixed - enables direct interface with 12-bit+ ADCs using standard 50 mΩ shunts at ±50 A full scale. |
| Input Offset Voltage (max) | ±200 μV over −40°C to +150°C - ensures ≤±10 mV total output error at 20× gain without calibration. |
| Common-Mode Range | −2 V to +70 V continuous - supports high-side sensing in 12 V/24 V/48 V automotive systems with battery transients. |
| CMRR (min) | 90 dB at DC - rejects supply noise and ground bounce in noisy motor drive environments. |
| Bandwidth | 250 kHz - captures fast current transients during PWM switching edges in H-bridge and 3-phase inverters. |
| Supply Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - interoperable with 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V analog subsystems without level-shifting. |
| Quiescent Current | 4.2 mA at +150°C - enables thermally constrained under-hood placement with minimal self-heating impact. |
Pinout & Package
AD8418AWHRZ-RL is supplied in a RoHS-compliant, AEC-Q100 qualified 10-lead MSOP package (3.0 mm × 3.0 mm × 1.0 mm) engineered for FMEA compliance, featuring NC pins inserted between critical signal pairs to mitigate PCB short-fault risks.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (−IN) | Negative Input | Connects to shunt resistor low-side node; withstands −2 V to +70 V common-mode voltage. |
| 2, 5, 9 (NC) | No Connect | FMEA-isolation pins - prevent catastrophic failure if adjacent traces short on PCB. |
| 3 (GND) | Analog Ground | Reference return for internal amplifiers; must be tied to low-impedance system ground plane. |
| 4 (VREF2) | Reference Input 2 | Configures output offset: tie to GND, VS, or external reference to set bias point (ratiometric or absolute). |
| 6 (OUT) | Analog Output | Buffered 20× amplified shunt voltage; drives 25 kΩ load with rail-to-rail swing (0.032 V to VS − 0.032 V). |
| 7 (VS) | Positive Supply | Accepts 2.7 V–5.5 V single supply; powers internal amplifiers and EMI filters. |
| 8 (VREF1) | Reference Input 1 | Paired with VREF2 to define output offset; identical function and electrical behavior to VREF2. |
| 10 (+IN) | Positive Input | Connects to shunt resistor high-side node; matches −IN in voltage rating and EMI immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualification | Rated for −40°C to +150°C operation - validated for engine bay and transmission control unit deployment. |
| FMEA-tolerant 10-lead MSOP pinout | NC pins isolate −IN/GND and +IN/VREF1 - prevents latch-up or output saturation during adjacent trace shorts. |
| EMI-filtered inputs | Integrated RC filters suppress RF interference from ignition systems and power converters without external components. |
| Bidirectional current sensing | VREF1/VREF2 configuration enables true bipolar output (e.g., 2.5 V ±1 V for ±50 A) without external op amps. |
| PWM common-mode rejection | Stable operation with >1 V/ns dV/dt common-mode transients - eliminates measurement corruption during gate drive switching. |
| Ratiometric output offset | Tying VREF1 to VS and VREF2 to GND sets mid-scale output (VS/2) that tracks supply variations - simplifies ADC reference alignment. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current sense amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD8417ARWZ-R7 | 60 V/V gain, ±150 μV max offset, same 10-lead MSOP package and −40°C to +150°C rating. | Better resolution for low-current (<±10 A) sensing; requires lower shunt resistance (e.g., 10 mΩ) to avoid saturation. | Select AD8417ARWZ-R7 when higher gain is needed to maximize ADC dynamic range with smaller shunts. |
| INA240A1QDRQ1 | 80 V/V gain, −4 V to +80 V common-mode, 120 dB CMRR, SOIC-8 package (no FMEA pinout). | Superior common-mode range and CMRR for 48 V systems; lacks integrated EMI filters and FMEA layout support. | Choose INA240A1QDRQ1 for ultra-high-noise environments requiring extended common-mode tolerance, accepting trade-offs in package robustness. |
Compared with AD8418AWHRZ-RL, AD8417ARWZ-R7 offers higher gain for precision low-current measurement but reduced headroom at high shunt voltages, while INA240A1QDRQ1 provides wider common-mode range and better CMRR at the expense of FMEA-ready packaging and integrated EMI filtering.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range specified for AD8418AWHRZ-RL?
AD8418AWHRZ-RL is rated for −40°C to +150°C operation, meeting AEC-Q100 Grade 0 requirements. This extended range enables reliable deployment in engine compartments, transmission control units, and other under-hood locations where ambient temperatures exceed 125°C.
Does AD8418AWHRZ-RL support bidirectional current sensing out of the box?
Yes, AD8418AWHRZ-RL natively supports bidirectional operation. By configuring VREF1 and VREF2 - for example, tying VREF1 to VS and VREF2 to GND - the output centers at VS/2, enabling symmetric positive/negative current measurement across the shunt resistor without external circuitry.
How does the FMEA-tolerant pinout of AD8418AWHRZ-RL improve system reliability?
The 10-lead MSOP pinout of AD8418AWHRZ-RL inserts NC pins between −IN/GND and +IN/VREF1. This physical isolation prevents single-point PCB trace shorts from causing output saturation or latch-up, satisfying ISO 26262 ASIL-B fault-tolerance requirements in automotive safety-critical designs.
Can AD8418AWHRZ-RL reject fast PWM common-mode transients commonly found in motor drives?
Yes, AD8418AWHRZ-RL incorporates patented circuitry and integrated EMI filters to maintain accuracy with common-mode dV/dt rates exceeding 1 V/ns. This allows stable current measurement during rapid MOSFET/IGBT switching in H-bridge and 3-phase inverter topologies without signal corruption.
What is the maximum continuous common-mode input voltage for AD8418AWHRZ-RL?
AD8418AWHRZ-RL supports −2 V to +70 V continuous common-mode input voltage. It also survives −3 V to +80 V for transient conditions, making it suitable for 12 V, 24 V, and 48 V automotive battery systems with load-dump and jump-start voltage spikes.
