Product details
Overview
LT1787HVHS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a precision high-side current sense amplifier designed for bidirectional sensing in high-voltage systems. It features 8× fixed gain, ±40 µV max input offset voltage (25°C), 60 V total supply operation, 12-bit dynamic range, and operates from –40°C to 125°C. It enables accurate battery charge/discharge monitoring in portable test equipment and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LT1787HVHS8#PBF datasheet, LT1787HVHS8#PBF pinout, LT1787HVHS8#PBF application, or LT1787HVHS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include high-side sensing capability up to 60 V, ultralow offset stability over temperature, unidirectional/bidirectional output configuration flexibility, and compatibility with Kelvin-connected shunt resistors in high-current systems.
Technical Context
The LT1787HVHS8#PBF uses matched internal 1.25 kΩ gain-setting resistors and a precision current-mirror architecture to deliver fixed 8 V/V gain with >120 dB supply rejection. Its FIL+ and FIL– pins provide differential input filtering via external capacitor, enabling suppression of high-frequency noise without common-mode mismatch errors.
It supports three output configurations: split-supply bipolar swing (VBIAS = GND), single-supply shifted bias (e.g., VBIAS = 1.25 V), and unidirectional mode (VBIAS = GND, VOUT ≥ 30 mV). Output is developed across a 20 kΩ internal ROUT resistor, with VOUT referenced to VBIAS and limited to VS+ – 0.75 V maximum and ≥30 mV above VEE minimum.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.5 V to 60 V total (VS+ to VEE); supports high-side sensing in 48 V industrial and telecom systems. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±40 µV (max, 25°C); enables accurate measurement of sub-10 mA currents with 100 mΩ shunt. |
| Gain Accuracy | ±3% (±100 mV input); fixed 8 V/V gain set by laser-trimmed internal resistors-no external gain components needed. |
| PSRR | ≥120 dB (2.5 V–60 V supply range); rejects supply ripple critical in noisy DC/DC converter outputs. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C (H-grade); qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial motor control environments. |
| Quiescent Current | 60 µA (typ); enables always-on current monitoring in battery-backed systems without significant drain. |
| Dynamic Range | 12-bit (≥4096:1); achieves full-scale resolution down to ±128 mV sense voltage with <0.1% error. |
Pinout & Package
LT1787HVHS8#PBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SO (Small Outline) package with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint (5.0 mm × 6.2 mm, 1.27 mm pitch). Thermal resistance θJA = 190°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FIL+ | Differential input filter terminal | Connected to midpoint of RG2A; used with FIL– to add RC low-pass filter (f–3dB = 1/(2π × 1.25 kΩ × C)) for noise rejection. |
| VS+ | Positive sense input | Connects to high-side of shunt; sourcing current through RSENSE yields VOUT > VBIAS. |
| VBIAS | Output reference bias | Sets zero-current output level; tied to external reference (e.g., LT1634-1.25) for bidirectional single-supply operation. |
| VOUT | Current/voltage output | Delivers IOUT = 8 × ISENSE × RSENSE/ROUT; voltage output = VBIAS ± 1.024 V (for ±128 mV sense). |
| FIL– | Differential input filter terminal | Connected to midpoint of RG1A; forms differential filter pair with FIL+-common-mode filtering prohibited. |
| VS– | Negative sense input | Connects to low-side of shunt; sinking current through RSENSE yields VOUT < VBIAS. |
| DNC | Do Not Connect | Internally connected; no external connection permitted-floating or grounded causes undefined behavior. |
| VEE | Negative supply / GND | Reference for internal circuitry; may be ground (single supply) or negative rail (split supply) up to –15 V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional high-side sensing | Measures current flow direction and magnitude without ground-referenced shunt-enables true load-side monitoring in floating bus systems. |
| User-selectable external shunt | Supports RSENSE from 0.5 mΩ to 100 mΩ; full-scale sense voltage adjustable from ±10 mV to ±500 mV for optimal power/accuracy trade-off. |
| Integrated input filtering | FIL+/FIL– pins allow simple capacitor-based anti-aliasing at amplifier input-eliminates need for external op-amp filters in high-ripple environments. |
| Fixed-gain precision architecture | Laser-trimmed 1.25 kΩ resistors ensure stable 8× gain across temperature and supply-removes calibration burden in production test. |
| Wide temperature grade | H-grade qualification (–40°C to +125°C) ensures performance in engine control units, solar inverters, and industrial PLCs without derating. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA240A1QDRQ1 | 500 kHz bandwidth vs. LT1787HV's 300 kHz; ±10 µV offset (typ) but only rated to 85°C ambient. | Automotive AEC-Q100 Grade 1; optimized for motor phase current sensing-not ideal for low-bandwidth precision DC monitoring. | Select when higher speed and automotive qualification are required; avoid if extended temperature operation (>85°C) or ultralow drift is mandatory. |
| MAX4080TASA+ | Fixed 20× gain (vs. 8×); 76 V supply rating; ±200 µV offset (max) at 125°C-higher than LT1787HV's ±400 µV (max). | Designed for high-gain, wide-VCM applications like solar MPPT; lacks FIL+/FIL– filtering pins. | Choose for higher gain and wider common-mode range; not recommended when input filtering or lowest offset at temperature is critical. |
Compared with INA240A1QDRQ1 and MAX4080TASA+, the LT1787HVHS8#PBF delivers superior offset stability over –40°C to +125°C and integrated differential input filtering-making it preferred for precision DC monitoring in harsh thermal environments where signal integrity outweighs raw bandwidth needs.

FAQ
What is the maximum common-mode voltage the LT1787HVHS8#PBF can handle?
The LT1787HVHS8#PBF supports up to 60 V total supply voltage (VS+ to VEE), enabling operation with common-mode voltages up to 60 V above ground when VEE = GND. Its absolute maximum differential sense voltage is ±10 V, and it maintains accuracy across the full 2.5 V–60 V supply range with ≥120 dB PSRR. This makes LT1787HVHS8#PBF suitable for 48 V industrial buses and automotive 24 V systems.
Can the LT1787HVHS8#PBF be used for unidirectional current sensing only?
Yes, the LT1787HVHS8#PBF supports unidirectional operation by connecting VBIAS to GND and interpreting only positive VOUT excursions. In this mode, VOUT swings from ≥30 mV to VS+ – 0.75 V, providing a rail-to-rail compatible output for microcontrollers or comparators. The LT1787HVHS8#PBF retains its 8× gain and ultralow offset-ideal for overcurrent protection where directionality is irrelevant.
How does the FIL+ and FIL– filtering work on the LT1787HVHS8#PBF?
The FIL+ and FIL– pins connect internally to the midpoints of the 1.25 kΩ gain-setting resistors RG1A and RG2A. Placing a capacitor between them creates a differential-mode low-pass filter with f–3dB = 1/(2π × 1.25 kΩ × C). For example, a 0.01 µF capacitor sets a 12.7 kHz corner-effective against switch-node noise while avoiding common-mode errors. This feature is unique to LT1787HVHS8#PBF among precision high-side amplifiers.
What is the purpose of the DNC pin on the LT1787HVHS8#PBF?
Pin 3 (DNC) on the LT1787HVHS8#PBF is "Do Not Connect"-it is internally bonded and electrically active but not intended for external use. Connecting any trace, capacitor, or pull-up/pull-down resistor to this pin may disrupt internal biasing or cause unpredictable gain/offset behavior. The LT1787HVHS8#PBF datasheet explicitly prohibits external connection, and proper layout requires leaving this pad floating and unmasked in solder paste.
Does the LT1787HVHS8#PBF require external gain-setting resistors?
No, the LT1787HVHS8#PBF uses laser-trimmed internal 1.25 kΩ resistors to set its fixed 8 V/V gain-no external resistors are needed. This eliminates gain error sources from component tolerance, temperature drift, and layout parasitics. The gain remains stable across supply (2.5 V–60 V) and temperature (–40°C to +125°C), making LT1787HVHS8#PBF ideal for calibration-free designs where consistent scaling is essential.
