Product details
Overview
LMP8640MKE-T/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision high-side current sense amplifier with fixed 20 V/V gain, operating from 2.7 V to 12 V supply and supporting −2 V to +42 V common-mode input voltage. It delivers 900 µV max input offset voltage, 0.25% max gain error, and 103 dB CMRR (2.1 V–42 V), enabling accurate DC/AC current monitoring in battery-powered industrial power supplies and motor control feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the LMP8640MKE-T/NOPB datasheet, LMP8640MKE-T/NOPB pinout, LMP8640MKE-T/NOPB application, or LMP8640MKE-T/NOPB equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed gain accuracy over temperature, real-world application constraints for high-common-mode sensing, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The LMP8640MKE-T/NOPB implements a precision current-sense topology using matched internal resistors (RIN = 5 kΩ) and a low-input-bias-current error amplifier to reject high common-mode voltages while amplifying small differential sense signals. Its fixed-gain architecture eliminates external resistor matching errors and ensures stable 20 V/V transfer function across −40°C to +125°C.
It features buffered rail-to-rail output drive capability, 450 kHz bandwidth at 20 V/V gain, and 1.4–1.8 V/µs slew rate depending on supply voltage - optimized for fast transient response in overcurrent protection circuits without requiring external compensation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain | Fixed 20 V/V - eliminates gain-setting resistor tolerance errors and simplifies PCB layout for production-grade current measurement. |
| Common-Mode Input Range | −2 V to +42 V - supports high-side sensing in 12 V, 24 V, and 36 V industrial bus systems, including negative rail fault detection. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±900 µV max at 25°C - enables accurate sub-100 mV sense voltage detection (e.g., 5 mΩ shunt @ 20 A = 100 mV) with <1% total error contribution. |
| Gain Error | ±0.25% max - ensures calibrated current readout remains within ±0.5% full-scale error across temperature without system-level recalibration. |
| CMRR | 103 dB (2.1 V–42 V) - suppresses common-mode noise from switching regulators or noisy power rails, preserving signal integrity in EMI-prone environments. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 12 V - compatible with single-supply microcontrollers and low-voltage logic interfaces while maintaining full common-mode range. |
| Bandwidth | 950 kHz at 20 V/V gain (VS = 2.7 V) - supports fast overcurrent response for motor phase current limiting and DC-DC converter cycle-by-cycle protection. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-pin Thin SOT-23 (2.9 mm × 1.6 mm), surface-mount, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VOUT | Amplified output voltage | Buffered rail-to-rail output capable of driving 1 MΩ load; requires ≤30 pF capacitive load for stability. |
| 2 - V− | Negative supply reference | Connect directly to system ground or negative rail; serves as output swing reference and bias return path. |
| 3 - +IN | Positive differential input | High-impedance node connected to high-side of sense resistor; accepts up to +42 V common-mode voltage. |
| 4 - −IN | Negative differential input | High-impedance node connected to low-side of sense resistor; maintains matched input impedance with +IN. |
| 5 - NC | No internal connection | Unbonded die pad; must be left floating or grounded per layout guidelines - no electrical function. |
| 6 - V+ | Positive supply voltage | Accepts 2.7 V–12 V; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF) required close to pin for PSRR optimization. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side current sense amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA240A1IDR | 20 V/V gain, −5 V to +80 V common-mode, 120 kHz bandwidth, 50 µV offset | Better offset and wider common-mode range but lower bandwidth limits use in fast-switching SMPS | Select for ultra-low-offset precision in 48 V telecom systems where bandwidth <200 kHz suffices |
| MAX4080TASA+ | 20 V/V gain, −0.1 V to +76 V common-mode, 250 kHz bandwidth, 120 µV offset | Lower offset and higher common-mode rating, but requires dual supply or charge pump for negative rail support | Prefer for battery-powered portable equipment needing sub-100 µV offset and operation down to −0.1 V common-mode |
Compared with INA240A1IDR and MAX4080TASA+, the LMP8640MKE-T/NOPB offers superior bandwidth (950 kHz vs. ≤250 kHz) and true single-supply operation down to −2 V common-mode, making it optimal for high-speed industrial motor control and cost-sensitive 24 V/36 V power systems where moderate offset is acceptable.

FAQ
What is the maximum common-mode voltage supported by the LMP8640MKE-T/NOPB?
The LMP8640MKE-T/NOPB supports a common-mode input voltage range of −2 V to +42 V. This specification is validated per TI's SNOSB28G datasheet and enables reliable high-side sensing in 36 V battery systems and industrial 24 V/48 V rails, including fault conditions such as negative transients during load dump.
Does the LMP8640MKE-T/NOPB require external gain-setting resistors?
No. The LMP8640MKE-T/NOPB has a factory-trimmed fixed gain of 20 V/V. Its internal RIN resistors (5 kΩ each) and RG = 2×RIN configuration eliminate the need for external gain components, reducing PCB area, component count, and gain drift due to resistor temperature coefficients - a key advantage over programmable current sense amplifiers.
Can the LMP8640MKE-T/NOPB operate from a 3.3 V supply?
Yes. The LMP8640MKE-T/NOPB operates from 2.7 V to 12 V supply voltage. At 3.3 V, it maintains full −2 V to +42 V common-mode range and delivers 950 kHz bandwidth with 1.4 V/µs slew rate, making it compatible with 3.3 V microcontrollers and low-voltage logic interfaces without level shifters.
What is the purpose of the NC pin (Pin 5) on the LMP8640MKE-T/NOPB?
Pin 5 is Not Connected (NC) - it has no internal bond wire or die connection. Per TI's datasheet, it must be left unconnected or tied to ground for mechanical stability; routing traces or vias to this pin may cause parasitic coupling or solder wicking issues that degrade high-frequency CMRR performance.
How does the LMP8640MKE-T/NOPB handle output capacitive loading?
The LMP8640MKE-T/NOPB is stable with up to 30 pF output capacitance. Exceeding this value risks peaking or oscillation due to phase margin reduction. For driving longer traces or ADC input filters, TI recommends using a series resistor (e.g., 10–50 Ω) between VOUT and the load to isolate capacitance - a practice confirmed in the SNOSB28G layout guidelines.
