Product details
Overview
LMP8603QMAX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision bidirectional current-sense amplifier with fixed 100× gain, –22V to +60V input common-mode voltage range at 5V supply, 90dB minimum CMRR, ±1mV max input offset voltage, and in-line filter capability via A1/A2 pins for signal conditioning in high-noise power systems.
For engineers reviewing the LMP8603QMAX/NOPB datasheet, LMP8603QMAX/NOPB pinout, LMP8603QMAX/NOPB application, or LMP8603QMAX/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its rail-to-rail output swing, ±10μV/°C TCVOS, 60kHz bandwidth, single-supply operation, and dual-stage gain architecture enabling external filtering or gain adjustment between preamplifier (A1) and buffer (A2) stages.
Technical Context
The LMP8603QMAX/NOPB implements a two-stage signal path: a chopping-based level-shift preamplifier with precise 10× gain and trimmed 100kΩ output impedance resistor (RF-INT), followed by a buffered output stage with 10× gain - yielding total 100× fixed gain. The A1 and A2 pins expose the inter-stage node to support external RC filtering or gain modification without affecting input stage performance.
Its proprietary input stage uses level-shift resistors to withstand large differential fault voltages while maintaining low offset (±1mV), low drift (±10μV/°C), and high CMRR (≥90dB at 5V supply, –20V to +60V VCM), making it suitable for accurate shunt-based current monitoring in industrial and server power rails where ground-referenced sensing is impractical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Total Gain | 100× (99.5–100.5 V/V) - drives 12-bit+ ADCs to full scale with ±0.5% gain error |
| Common-Mode Range | –22V to +60V at 5V supply - enables direct sensing on negative rails or high-side 48V/60V bus |
| CMRR | ≥90dB (min) - rejects noise from switching regulators and motor drives |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±1mV (max) - supports <10mΩ shunt resolution at 1A full-scale |
| TCVOS | ±10μV/°C (max) - ensures stable accuracy across –40°C to +125°C ambient |
| Bandwidth | 60kHz - captures fast transients in DC/DC converters and motor control loops |
| Supply Current | 0.45–1.5mA - low quiescent power for always-on monitoring in energy-sensitive systems |
Pinout & Package
The LMP8603QMAX/NOPB is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D package), 4.90mm × 6.00mm body size, with gull-wing leads and standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: –IN | Negative input | Differential input terminal for shunt resistor low-side connection; accepts –22V to +60V common-mode |
| 2: +IN | Positive input | Differential input terminal for shunt resistor high-side connection; matched to –IN for CMRR |
| 3: VS | Positive supply | Single 3.3V or 5V rail; powers both preamp and buffer stages |
| 4: OUT | Output | Single-ended, rail-to-rail output (0–5V at 5V supply); drives ADC or comparator directly |
| 5: –GND | Power ground | Analog ground reference; separate from system power ground to minimize noise coupling |
| 6: OFFSET | DC offset control | Adjusts output mid-scale (e.g., 2.5V at 5V supply) to enable bidirectional current measurement |
| 7: A1 | Preamplifier output | 10×-gained intermediate node; connects to external RC filter or gain network before A2 |
| 8: A2 | Buffer input | Input to 10× output stage; receives filtered/modified signal from A1 for final amplification |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| In-line filter capability | A1 and A2 pins provide access to internal gain node for adding external RC filters without degrading input stage CMRR or offset |
| Chopping-based level-shift input | Enables ultra-low offset (±1mV) and drift (±10μV/°C) while surviving >80V differential fault conditions |
| Bidirectional single-supply operation | OFFSET pin sets output zero-current point (e.g., 2.5V @ 5V), enabling true ± current measurement from 0V supply |
| High common-mode rejection | ≥90dB CMRR over –20V to +60V VCM ensures accuracy in noisy 48V telecom or server VRM environments |
| Rail-to-rail output swing | Swings within 2mV of GND and 10mV of VS (at 5V), maximizing dynamic range for 12-bit ADC interfacing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current-sense amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA240A1QDRQ1 | 500kHz bandwidth, 20V/V gain, integrated EMI filter, ±4V to +80V VCM | Better suited for high-frequency motor control; lacks A1/A2 filter node flexibility | Select when higher bandwidth and automotive AEC-Q100 qualification are required over programmable filtering |

FAQ
What is the maximum common-mode voltage supported by the LMP8603QMAX/NOPB?
The LMP8603QMAX/NOPB supports a maximum input common-mode voltage of +60V and a minimum of –22V when operating from a 5V supply, enabling direct high-side or negative-rail current sensing in 48V systems and industrial power supplies without level-shifting circuitry.
How does the A1 and A2 pin interface enable signal conditioning in the LMP8603QMAX/NOPB?
The LMP8603QMAX/NOPB exposes the internal preamplifier output at A1 and the buffer input at A2, allowing engineers to insert external RC networks between them for low-pass filtering, notch filtering, or gain adjustment - preserving the high-CMRR input stage while tailoring frequency response for specific noise environments.
Is the LMP8603QMAX/NOPB suitable for bidirectional current measurement?
Yes, the LMP8603QMAX/NOPB supports true bidirectional current measurement via its dedicated OFFSET pin, which sets the output mid-scale voltage (e.g., 2.5V at 5V supply), enabling positive and negative shunt voltage detection - essential for regenerative braking, H-bridge motor control, and 4–20mA loop diagnostics.
What is the typical gain error and drift behavior of the LMP8603QMAX/NOPB over temperature?
The LMP8603QMAX/NOPB exhibits ±0.5% maximum gain error at room temperature and ±2.8 ppm/°C gain error drift over –40°C to +125°C, ensuring stable scaling across wide ambient ranges - critical for uncalibrated systems like field transmitters and server telemetry where factory calibration is impractical.
Does the LMP8603QMAX/NOPB require external components for basic operation?
No, the LMP8603QMAX/NOPB operates fully functional with only VS, GND, OFFSET (tied to mid-supply for bidirectional use), and load - though external decoupling capacitors (0.1μF ceramic near VS/GND) are recommended; A1/A2 filtering components are optional and only needed when custom frequency shaping is required.
