Product details
Overview
LT1999CS8-20#PBF from Analog Devices is a high-voltage, bidirectional current sense amplifier with 20V/V fixed gain, –5V to 80V input common mode range, 2MHz bandwidth, and ±0.5% gain accuracy. It senses current via external shunt resistor and outputs a voltage referenced to mid-supply or external REF, enabling precise bidirectional monitoring in H-bridge motor control and battery charge/discharge systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT1999CS8-20#PBF datasheet, LT1999CS8-20#PBF pinout, LT1999CS8-20#PBF application, or LT1999CS8-20#PBF equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, SO-8 package terminal mapping, automotive-grade AEC-Q100 qualification status, FMEA-compatible alternatives, and design-critical performance boundaries including CMRR >80dB at 100kHz and shutdown current <10µA.
Technical Context
The LT1999CS8-20#PBF employs a transconductance-based sensing architecture with matched on-chip 4kΩ input resistors and an internal 80kΩ gain-setting resistor (RG), delivering exact 20V/V gain without external components. Its dual-path biasing-using diode D1 for sub-supply common mode operation and transconductor GIN for high-side operation-ensures smooth, continuous performance across the full –5V to 80V range.
It features a dedicated REF pin that sets output common-mode level, supports external reference override, and maintains ±3mV input-referred offset over temperature. The SHDN pin enables fast 1µs turn-on/turn-off with <10µA shutdown current, while the output drives ≥200pF loads directly and provides ±31mA sourcing/sinking capability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain | 20V/V fixed - eliminates external gain-setting components and ensures ±0.5% accuracy over temperature and common mode range. |
| Common Mode Range | –5V to 80V - enables direct high-side sensing in 48V industrial systems and low-side sensing down to negative rail without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Bandwidth | 2MHz - supports accurate current measurement in PWM-controlled switching power supplies operating up to 500kHz switching frequency. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±1.5mV max - ensures ≤75µA error in 50mΩ shunt applications at room temperature, critical for precision battery SOC estimation. |
| Supply Current | 1.55mA active / <10µA shutdown - reduces system power budget in always-on monitoring nodes and enables energy-efficient duty-cycled sensing. |
| CMRR @ 100kHz | >80dB - rejects high-frequency noise from adjacent power switches, preserving signal integrity in noisy motor drive environments. |
| Operating Temp | 0°C to 70°C - validated for commercial industrial control modules where ambient temperature remains within standard enclosure limits. |
Pinout & Package
LT1999CS8-20#PBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SO (narrow) package (S8), RoHS-compliant, with 1.27mm lead pitch and JEDEC MS-012AC footprint. Pin 1 is marked with dot; device orientation follows standard SO-8 top view with Pin 1 at bottom-left corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| V+ (Pins 1, 4) | Power supply input | Internally tied pins accepting 4.5V–5.5V; dual-pin layout improves PSRR and reduces supply impedance for stable gain accuracy. |
| +IN (Pin 2) | Positive sense input | High-impedance node (≥5MΩ) connected to shunt's high-side; accepts common mode down to –5V without clamping. |
| –IN (Pin 3) | Negative sense input | Matched to +IN; differential input impedance 8kΩ ensures minimal shunt loading error in precision applications. |
| GND (Pin 5) | Analog ground reference | Return path for REF divider and output stage; must be star-connected to shunt ground to avoid measurement errors. |
| REF (Pin 6) | Output common-mode reference | Sets VOUT midpoint; open-circuit default = 2.5V (mid-supply); externally driven to shift output range for ADC interface compatibility. |
| OUT (Pin 7) | Amplified output | Low-impedance (0.15Ω) rail-to-rail capable output; drives 1kΩ loads to within 125mV of rails and sustains ±31mA sink/source. |
| SHDN (Pin 8) | Shutdown control | Active-low logic input; internal 2µA pull-up keeps device active when floating; <0.5V assertion reduces supply current to <10µA. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional current sensing | Outputs positive/negative voltage relative to REF to unambiguously indicate current direction-essential for regenerative braking and battery charging/discharging state detection. |
| FMEA-optimized pinout option | Available in MSOP-FMEA variant (e.g., LT1999IMS8-20F#PBF) with NC on Pin 3 to prevent misconnection-induced failure in safety-critical automotive subsystems. |
| High common-mode transient immunity | 0.8µs recovery from ±50V common-mode step ensures stable output during fast-switching events in IGBT/MOSFET gate drivers and inverter legs. |
| AEC-Q100 qualified | H-grade variants (e.g., LT1999HMS8-20#PBF) meet automotive stress testing requirements for under-hood motor control and ADAS power management. |
| ESD robustness | 4kV HBM / 1kV CDM tolerance protects against assembly handling damage and field electrostatic discharge in industrial equipment. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current sense amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4080TASA+ | 20V/V gain, 0.5% gain error, but only –0.1V to 65V common mode range and no internal REF divider. | Limited to lower-voltage systems; requires external REF biasing and cannot replace LT1999CS8-20#PBF in 80V bus monitoring. | Select MAX4080TASA+ only when operating below 65V and external REF control is acceptable. |
| INA240A1DR | 20V/V gain, –4V to 80V common mode, but 400kHz bandwidth and higher 100µV offset. | Suitable for slower control loops (e.g., thermal management), but insufficient for high-frequency PWM current sampling. | Choose INA240A1DR for cost-sensitive, non-time-critical industrial monitoring where bandwidth <500kHz is acceptable. |
Compared with MAX4080TASA+ and INA240A1DR, the LT1999CS8-20#PBF uniquely combines 80V common mode, 2MHz bandwidth, and integrated mid-supply REF-making it the only option for high-speed, high-voltage bidirectional sensing in compact SO-8 form factor without external support components.

FAQ
What is the maximum common mode voltage supported by the LT1999CS8-20#PBF?
The LT1999CS8-20#PBF supports a guaranteed input common mode voltage range of –5V to 80V across its full operating temperature range (0°C to 70°C). This allows direct high-side sensing in 48V and 60V industrial buses without external level-shifting circuitry. Operation beyond these limits risks ESD clamp activation or degraded accuracy.
Does the LT1999CS8-20#PBF require external resistors to set gain?
No, the LT1999CS8-20#PBF has a fixed 20V/V gain implemented using precision on-chip resistors (4kΩ input + 80kΩ RG). Unlike programmable amplifiers, it requires no external gain-setting components-reducing BOM count, layout area, and calibration drift over temperature and time.
How does the REF pin function in the LT1999CS8-20#PBF?
The REF pin in the LT1999CS8-20#PBF sets the output common-mode voltage. Internally biased to mid-supply (2.5V at 5V V+) via 160kΩ resistive divider, it can be overdriven by an external source to shift VOUT range-for example, aligning with a 3.3V ADC's input span. Its specified input range is 1.125V to (V+ – 1.125V) to maintain ±3mV offset accuracy.
Can the LT1999CS8-20#PBF be used in automotive applications?
The LT1999CS8-20#PBF itself is rated for 0°C to 70°C and is not AEC-Q100 qualified. However, pin-compatible automotive-grade variants exist-including LT1999HMS8-20#PBF (–40°C to 125°C, AEC-Q100) and LT1999HMS8-20F#WPBF (FMEA-optimized, automotive qualified). These should be selected for under-hood or safety-critical vehicle systems.
What is the typical supply current and shutdown behavior of the LT1999CS8-20#PBF?
The LT1999CS8-20#PBF draws 1.55mA typical supply current during active operation. When the SHDN pin is pulled below 0.5V, it enters ultra-low-power shutdown mode drawing <10µA. Turn-on and turn-off times are both ≤1µs, enabling rapid duty-cycled sensing to minimize average power in battery-powered applications.
