Product details
Overview
LT1787HVIMS8#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 60V total supply operation, 75µV max input offset voltage, fixed 8× gain, 12-bit dynamic range, and operates from –40°C to 125°C - enabling accurate battery monitoring and power management in automotive and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LT1787HVIMS8#PBF datasheet, LT1787HVIMS8#PBF pinout, LT1787HVIMS8#PBF application, or LT1787HVIMS8#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its ±10V differential sense voltage rating, MSOP-8 package with DNC pin, unidirectional/bidirectional output configuration, VBIAS-referenced output swing, and compatibility with low-noise Kelvin-sense layouts.
Technical Context
The LT1787HVIMS8#PBF uses matched internal 1.25kΩ gain-setting resistors (RG1A/RG2A) and a transconductance architecture to deliver fixed 8× gain with >120dB PSRR across 2.5V–60V supply. Its FIL+/FIL– pins enable external RC filtering at f–3dB = 1/(2π × 1.25kΩ × C), supporting noise rejection in high-ripple environments.
It supports three output configurations: split-supply bipolar (VBIAS = GND), single-supply bidirectional (VBIAS externally biased), and unidirectional (VBIAS = GND). Output voltage swing is limited to VEE + 30mV (min) and VS+ – 0.75V (max), with ROUT = 20kΩ defining output impedance and gain accuracy.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Total Supply Voltage | 2.5V to 60V - enables direct sensing in 48V telecom, EV auxiliary systems, and industrial DC buses without level-shifting. |
| Input Offset Voltage (Max) | ±75 µV at 25°C - ensures ≤0.15% error at 500mV full-scale sense voltage, critical for low-current resolution. |
| Gain Accuracy | ±3% over temperature - fixed 8× gain set by laser-trimmed on-die resistors eliminates external gain-setting components. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial motor control applications. |
| Differential Sense Range | ±10V - supports high-side sensing across wide common-mode voltages, including battery stack monitoring. |
| Supply Current | 60 µA - ultra-low quiescent current extends runtime in portable and always-on power monitors. |
| PSRR | >120 dB - rejects supply ripple up to 60V, maintaining accuracy in noisy switching power supply environments. |
Pinout & Package
LT1787HVIMS8#PBF is housed in an 8-lead MSOP package (3mm × 3mm, 0.65mm pitch) with exposed pad for thermal performance. Pin 3 (DNC) must remain unconnected per datasheet.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FIL+ / FIL– (1, 8) | Differential input filter terminals | Internally connected to midpoints of RG1/RG2; capacitor between them forms anti-aliasing low-pass filter (f–3dB = 1/(2π × 1.25kΩ × C)). |
| VS– (2) | Negative sense input | Connects to low-side of sense resistor; supplies bias current to internal amplifier - included in measured current if polarity chosen accordingly. |
| DNC (3) | Do Not Connect | Internally connected; external connection violates absolute maximum ratings and invalidates performance specs. |
| VEE (4) | Negative supply / ground reference | Serves as return for negative supply or ground in single-supply mode; defines lower output swing limit (VEE + 30mV). |
| VOUT (5) | Current/voltage output node | Summed output of current mirror across ROUT = 20kΩ; delivers VOUT = 8 × VSENSE + VBIAS + VOUT(O) in bidirectional mode. |
| VBIAS (6) | Output bias reference | Set externally (e.g., LT1634-1.25) to establish zero-current output level; enables rail-to-rail bidirectional swing in single-supply systems. |
| VS+ (7) | Positive sense input | Connects to high-side of sense resistor; used to monitor supply current when load is connected between VS+ and VS–. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional high-side sensing | Supports both charge/discharge current monitoring in battery systems via VBIAS-referenced output polarity reversal. |
| User-selectable external RSENSE | Enables full-scale sense voltage tuning from ±10mV to ±500mV - balances resolution vs. I²R loss in 10A–100A applications. |
| Integrated input filtering (FIL+/FIL–) | Eliminates need for external op-amp-based filters; 12.7kHz cutoff with 0.01µF capacitor suppresses PWM switching noise. |
| 12-bit dynamic range | Combines 75µV offset and 500mV full-scale input to resolve <2mA at 100A full-scale - sufficient for BMS cell balancing control. |
| –40°C to +125°C guaranteed operation | Validated performance across full automotive under-hood and industrial ambient ranges 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4080TASA+ | Single-ended output only; 2.7V–76V supply; 100µV max VOS; no FIL+/FIL– filtering pins. | Lacks bidirectional capability and integrated input filtering - requires external op-amp for bipolar output. | Choose for cost-sensitive unidirectional 76V systems where filtering is handled upstream. |
| INA240A1QDRQ1 | Automotive-grade (AEC-Q100); 80V supply; 10µV max VOS; 120dB CMRR; no VBIAS pin or bidirectional output mode. | Fixed unidirectional output; superior offset but no native VBIAS-referenced swing - needs external level-shifting for bidirectional use. | Choose for ASIL-B automotive applications requiring lowest offset and highest CMRR, accepting added external circuitry. |
Compared with MAX4080TASA+ and INA240A1QDRQ1, the LT1787HVIMS8#PBF uniquely integrates bidirectional output configuration, on-chip gain-setting resistors, and dedicated FIL+/FIL– filtering - reducing BOM count and layout complexity in space-constrained battery and power supply designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum differential sense voltage supported by the LT1787HVIMS8#PBF?
The LT1787HVIMS8#PBF supports a maximum differential sense voltage of ±10V, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This allows direct high-side sensing across wide common-mode voltage rails - for example, monitoring current in a 48V battery string where VS+ may sit at 48V and VS– at 47.9V, yielding a 100mV differential signal within safe operating limits.
Can the LT1787HVIMS8#PBF operate in bidirectional mode with a single 5V supply?
Yes, the LT1787HVIMS8#PBF can operate in bidirectional mode with a single 5V supply by biasing the VBIAS pin to a mid-rail voltage (e.g., 2.5V) using a precision reference like the LT6655. In this configuration, VOUT swings above and below VBIAS to indicate direction - enabling full ±128mV sense range while maintaining linearity and avoiding saturation.
What is the purpose of the DNC pin (Pin 3) on the LT1787HVIMS8#PBF?
Pin 3 of the LT1787HVIMS8#PBF is designated DNC (Do Not Connect) and is internally connected. Connecting any external trace, capacitor, or pull-up/pull-down resistor to this pin violates the Absolute Maximum Ratings and may degrade PSRR, offset voltage, or cause functional failure. The datasheet explicitly prohibits external connection to ensure guaranteed performance across temperature and supply conditions.
How does the LT1787HVIMS8#PBF achieve 12-bit dynamic range despite a 75µV input offset?
The LT1787HVIMS8#PBF achieves >12-bit dynamic range by combining a low 75µV max input offset voltage with a ±500mV full-scale input range (at VBIAS = 5V). This yields a theoretical resolution of ~122nV/LSB, enabling detection of sub-mA currents with 1mΩ shunts - verified in typical applications using the LTC1286 ADC as shown in the datasheet's front-page reference design.
Is the LT1787HVIMS8#PBF pin-compatible with the standard LT1787IMS8#PBF?
Yes, the LT1787HVIMS8#PBF is pin-compatible with the LT1787IMS8#PBF - both use identical MSOP-8 footprints and share identical pin functions, including FIL+, VS+, VBIAS, VOUT, FIL–, VS–, DNC, and VEE. The only functional difference is the extended 60V supply rating (vs. 36V) and wider temperature specification (–40°C to 125°C) of the HV variant - allowing drop-in replacement in higher-voltage designs without layout changes.
