Product details
Overview
LT1787HVCMS8#PBF from Analog Devices (acquired Linear Technology) is a precision high-side current sense amplifier optimized for bidirectional sensing in industrial and automotive power systems. It features 8× fixed gain, ±100µV max input offset voltage over –40°C to 125°C, 60V supply operation, 12-bit dynamic range, and 60µA quiescent current - enabling accurate battery charge/discharge monitoring in 48V telecom or EV auxiliary supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LT1787HVCMS8#PBF datasheet, LT1787HVCMS8#PBF pinout, LT1787HVCMS8#PBF application, or LT1787HVCMS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include high-voltage common-mode rejection (120dB PSRR), MSOP-8 thermal performance (θJA = 250°C/W), unidirectional/bidirectional output flexibility, and Kelvin-sense compatibility for sub-2mA resolution at low currents.
Technical Context
The LT1787HVCMS8#PBF employs a matched resistor-based current mirror architecture with internal 1.25kΩ gain-setting resistors (RG1A/RG2A) and 20kΩ output resistor (ROUT), delivering precise 8× VSENSE amplification independent of supply voltage. Its differential FIL+/FIL– pins enable user-configurable RC filtering (f–3dB = 1/(2π·1.25kΩ·C)) to suppress high-frequency noise above 300kHz bandwidth.
Operation supports both split-supply (VEE referenced) and single-supply (VBIAS-shifted) configurations: VOUT = 8·VSENSE + VBIAS + VOUT(O), with output swing limited to 30mV above VEE and VS+ – 0.75V. Input bias currents (IS+ = 10–25µA, IS– = 50–115µA) are specified across –40°C to 125°C for robust high-temp design.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.5V to 60V total supply - enables direct monitoring of 48V bus or battery stacks without level-shifting. |
| Input Offset Voltage (Max) | ±100µV over –40°C to 125°C - ensures ≤2mA error at 20mΩ sense resistor, critical for low-current battery state-of-charge accuracy. |
| Fixed Gain | 8× (7.76–8.24 V/V) - eliminates external gain-setting components and reduces layout sensitivity to parasitic capacitance. |
| Quiescent Current | 60µA - allows continuous monitoring in always-on systems (e.g., EV BMS sleep mode) with negligible battery drain. |
| PSRR | 120dB (2.5V–60V range) - rejects supply ripple in noisy DC/DC converter outputs, preserving measurement integrity. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to 125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial motor drive environments. |
| Package | 8-Lead MSOP - compact footprint (3mm × 3mm) with 250°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance for high-power density layouts. |
Pinout & Package
LT1787HVCMS8#PBF uses an 8-lead MSOP package (JEDEC MO-187AA) with exposed pad for thermal enhancement. Pin 3 (DNC) is internally connected and must remain unconnected per datasheet.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FIL+ / FIL– (1, 8) | Differential input filter nodes | Internally tied to RG1/RG2 midpoints; capacitor between them sets low-pass cutoff (e.g., 0.01µF → 12.7kHz) to reject switching noise. |
| VS– (2) | Negative sense input | Connects to low-side of sense resistor; sources bias current (10–25µA) that may be included in monitored current path. |
| DNC (3) | Do Not Connect | Internally bonded; external connection risks parametric shift or damage - leave floating. |
| VEE (4) | Negative supply / ground reference | For split-supply operation: connect to negative rail; for single-supply: tie to system ground. |
| VOUT (5) | Current/voltage output | Sinks/sourcing current proportional to |ISENSE|; develops output voltage across ROUT (20kΩ) with VBIAS as level-shift reference. |
| VBIAS (6) | Output bias reference | Set to midpoint voltage (e.g., 1.25V) for bidirectional single-supply operation; defines zero-current output level. |
| VS+ (7) | Positive sense input | Connects to high-side of sense resistor; sinks bias current (50–115µA); polarity determines VOUT direction relative to VBIAS. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional high-side sensing | Enables charge/discharge current monitoring in battery management without ground-referenced shunt placement. |
| User-selectable external sense resistor | Supports RSENSE optimization from 1mΩ (high-current) to 100mΩ (low-power), with ±500mV full-scale input headroom. |
| Input noise filtering via FIL+/FIL– | Eliminates aliasing errors from PWM switching frequencies (e.g., 100kHz–1MHz) using simple external capacitor. |
| 12-bit dynamic range | Delivers >4096:1 current ratio resolution - sufficient for detecting 1A fault current within 4000A traction inverter stack. |
| –40°C to 125°C guaranteed operation | Validated performance across full automotive temperature range without derating, reducing thermal margin uncertainty. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side current sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA240A1QDGKRQ1 | 500kHz bandwidth vs LT1787's 300kHz; 2.5µV/°C VOS TC vs 0.5–4µV/°C; AEC-Q100 qualified. | Better suited for high-speed motor control loops; requires external gain resistors for non-standard gains. | Select for automotive ASIL-B systems needing qualification; avoid if fixed 8× gain and ultra-low tempco are mandatory. |
| MAX4080TASA+ | Single-ended output only; 2.7V–76V supply; 125µV max VOS at 125°C; no FIL+/FIL– filtering pins. | Lower cost for unidirectional monitoring; lacks bidirectional output flexibility and integrated noise filtering. | Choose for cost-sensitive 48V power supplies where bidirectional sensing and EMI filtering are not required. |

FAQ
What is the maximum common-mode voltage the LT1787HVCMS8#PBF can handle?
The LT1787HVCMS8#PBF supports up to 60V total supply voltage (VS+ to VEE), enabling operation with common-mode voltages up to 60V above ground when configured in high-side sensing. Absolute maximum differential sense voltage is ±10V, and absolute maximum total supply is 65V - exceeding typical 48V industrial and automotive bus requirements.
Does the LT1787HVCMS8#PBF require external gain-setting resistors?
No, the LT1787HVCMS8#PBF has onboard precision 1.25kΩ gain-setting resistors (RG1A/RG2A) that fix the gain at 8×. This eliminates external resistor matching errors and layout sensitivity, ensuring consistent 7.76–8.24 V/V gain across temperature and process variation - a key differentiator versus programmable current sense amplifiers.
How does the FIL+ and FIL– functionality improve noise immunity in the LT1787HVCMS8#PBF?
The FIL+ and FIL– pins on the LT1787HVCMS8#PBF connect internally to the midpoints of RG1 and RG2, allowing a single capacitor between them to form a differential low-pass filter. With R = 1.25kΩ, a 0.01µF capacitor sets f–3dB = 12.7kHz - effectively attenuating high-frequency switching noise from DC/DC converters or motor drives before it reaches the core amplifier.
Can the LT1787HVCMS8#PBF operate in bidirectional mode with a single 5V supply?
Yes, the LT1787HVCMS8#PBF supports bidirectional sensing with single-supply operation by biasing the VBIAS pin to a midpoint voltage (e.g., 2.5V using a resistor divider or LT1634 reference). In this configuration, VOUT swings symmetrically around VBIAS - positive for VS+ > VS–, negative for VS+ < VS– - enabling full-range current direction detection without dual rails.
What is the thermal performance of the LT1787HVCMS8#PBF in its MSOP-8 package?
The LT1787HVCMS8#PBF in MSOP-8 has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 250°C/W. At 60µA quiescent current and typical 8× gain operation, power dissipation remains below 3mW - resulting in negligible self-heating (<0.8°C rise) even in sealed enclosures, preserving offset stability and long-term calibration integrity.
