Product details
Overview
LT1787HVIS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a precision high-side current sense amplifier designed for bidirectional sensing in industrial and battery-powered systems. It features 8× fixed gain, ±40 µV max input offset voltage (25°C), 12-bit dynamic range, 60 µA supply current, and operates from 2.5V to 60V total supply voltage across –40°C to 125°C. It enables accurate monitoring of load currents up to ±128 mV sense voltage in portable test equipment and battery-operated power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LT1787HVIS8#PBF datasheet, LT1787HVIS8#PBF pinout, LT1787HVIS8#PBF application, or LT1787HVIS8#PBF equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, package mapping to 8-lead SO, functional pin definitions, real-world use cases in bidirectional battery monitoring, and two validated alternative parts with documented technical differences.
Technical Context
The LT1787HVIS8#PBF implements a matched resistor-based current mirror architecture with internal RG1A/RG2A (1.25 kΩ) and ROUT (20 kΩ) to achieve precise 8× gain. Its differential FIL+/FIL– pins support external RC filtering (f–3dB = 1/(2π·1.25kΩ·C)) for high-frequency noise rejection up to 300 kHz bandwidth.
It supports three output configurations: split-supply bipolar swing (VBIAS = GND), single-supply unidirectional (VBIAS = GND), and single-supply bidirectional (VBIAS externally biased). Output voltage range is constrained by VEE (min 30 mV above VEE) and VS+ (max VS+ – 0.75 V), with guaranteed operation up to 35 V output swing.

Pinout & Package
LT1787HVIS8#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+ | Positive input filter terminal | Internally connected to midpoint of RG2A; used with FIL– to add RC low-pass filter (f–3dB = 1/(2π·1.25kΩ·C)) |
| VS+ | Positive sense input | Connects to high-side of RSENSE; sourcing current flows into VS+ when ILOAD > 0 |
| VBIAS | Output bias reference | Sets zero-current output level; tied to GND for unidirectional mode, to external ref (e.g., 1.25 V) for bidirectional |
| VOUT | Voltage/current output | Delivers VOUT = 8·VSENSE + VOUT(O) + VBIAS; drives ADC inputs or op-amp buffers directly |
| FIL– | Negative input filter terminal | Internally connected to midpoint of RG1A; forms differential filter pair with FIL+ |
| VS– | Negative sense input | Connects to low-side of RSENSE; sinking current flows out of VS– when ILOAD < 0 |
| DNC | Do Not Connect | Internally connected; must remain floating-no external connection permitted |
| VEE | Negative supply / GND | Reference for internal circuitry; tied to GND in single-supply mode; may be negative in split-supply configs |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA240A1DR | 20 V/V fixed gain; 50 µV max offset (–40°C to 125°C); 2.7 V to 80 V supply; integrated EMI filter | Higher gain simplifies small-signal detection but requires lower RSENSE values; wider supply supports 48 V+ systems | Preferred when higher gain and superior EMI immunity are needed, especially in automotive CAN bus environments |
| MAX4080TASA+ | 100 V/V gain; 100 µV max offset (–40°C to 125°C); 4.5 V to 76 V supply; unidirectional only | Lacks bidirectional capability; optimized for high-side overcurrent protection rather than precision measurement | Select when unidirectional fault detection dominates design-e.g., fuseless short-circuit protection in server PSUs |
Compared with LT1787HVIS8#PBF, INA240A1DR offers better EMI robustness and wider supply range but requires PCB layout changes due to different pinout and gain scaling; MAX4080TASA+ provides higher sensitivity for protection thresholds but cannot replace bidirectional monitoring functions without system-level redesign.

FAQ
What is the maximum sense voltage range supported by the LT1787HVIS8#PBF?
The LT1787HVIS8#PBF supports a differential input sense voltage (VS+ – VS–) of ±128 mV for full-scale linear operation, with absolute maximum ratings of ±10 V. At 25°C, its 40 µV typical input offset voltage enables accurate measurement down to ±10 µV sense signals-corresponding to ~0.5 mA with a 20 mΩ shunt resistor. The device maintains linearity across its specified operating temperature range of –40°C to 125°C.
How does the LT1787HVIS8#PBF achieve bidirectional current sensing?
The LT1787HVIS8#PBF achieves bidirectional sensing by producing an output voltage VOUT = 8·VSENSE + VOUT(O) + VBIAS, where VSENSE = VS+ – VS–. When VSENSE > 0 (current flowing from VS+ to VS–), VOUT rises above VBIAS; when VSENSE < 0, VOUT falls below VBIAS. This requires VBIAS to be externally biased (e.g., to 1.25 V) in single-supply systems. The internal current mirror architecture ensures symmetric positive/negative gain and matched offset behavior across temperature.
Can the LT1787HVIS8#PBF be used with a single 3.3 V supply?
Yes, the LT1787HVIS8#PBF operates from a minimum total supply voltage of 2.5 V, making it compatible with 3.3 V single-supply systems. In this configuration, VEE is tied to GND, VBIAS is set to a mid-rail voltage (e.g., 1.25 V via LT1634), and VOUT swings ±1.024 V around VBIAS. The output can reach as low as 30 mV above VEE and as high as VS+ – 0.75 V-ensuring usable headroom even at 3.3 V. Verified operation is documented in Figure 4 of the datasheet.
What is the purpose of the FIL+ and FIL– pins on the LT1787HVIS8#PBF?
The FIL+ and FIL– pins on the LT1787HVIS8#PBF provide access to internal resistor midpoints (RG1A and RG2A) to implement a differential RC low-pass filter. Connecting a capacitor between FIL+ and FIL– creates a single-pole filter with f–3dB = 1/(2π·1.25 kΩ·C). A 0.01 µF capacitor yields ~12.7 kHz cutoff-ideal for attenuating PWM switching noise from motor drives or DC-DC converters while preserving signal integrity for current measurement.
Is the LT1787HVIS8#PBF pin-compatible with other variants in the LT1787 family?
Yes, the LT1787HVIS8#PBF shares identical 8-lead SO packaging and pinout with all LT1787/LT1787HV variants (e.g., LT1787CS8, LT1787HVCS8), including LT1787HVIS8#PBF's H-grade temperature rating (–40°C to 125°C) and HV voltage range (2.5 V to 60 V). This allows drop-in replacement in existing designs when upgrading to higher temperature or voltage capability-no PCB changes required.
