Product details
Overview
LT1999CS8-50#PBF from Analog Devices is a high-voltage, bidirectional current sense amplifier with fixed 50V/V gain, –5V to 80V input common mode range, 1.2MHz small-signal bandwidth, ±0.5% gain accuracy, and 8-lead SO package. It senses shunt voltage to generate polarity-aware output referenced to mid-supply or external REF, enabling precise H-bridge motor current monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the LT1999CS8-50#PBF datasheet, LT1999CS8-50#PBF pinout, LT1999CS8-50#PBF application, or LT1999CS8-50#PBF equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, FMEA-compatible SO package details, automotive-grade temperature support (0°C to 70°C), and real-world use cases in PWM control loops and battery charge/discharge monitoring.
Technical Context
The LT1999CS8-50#PBF employs a transconductance-based sensing architecture with matched on-chip 4kΩ input resistors and a 200kΩ internal gain-setting resistor (RG), delivering exact 50V/V gain. Its dual-path biasing-via internal 160kΩ divider for VCM > V+ and integrated diode D1 for VCM < V+-ensures smooth, continuous operation across the full –5V to 80V common mode range without gain or offset discontinuity.
It features an active REF pin that sets output common-mode level, supports external reference override within 1.125V to (V+ – 1.125V), and provides 62dB REF rejection. Shutdown mode reduces supply current to <10µA while maintaining 1µs turn-on/turn-off timing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain | 50V/V fixed - enables direct conversion of ±20mV shunt voltage to ±1V output for ADC interfacing. |
| Common Mode Range | –5V to 80V - supports high-side sensing in 48V industrial systems and low-side sensing down to negative rail. |
| Bandwidth | 1.2MHz - captures fast current transients in PWM switching power supplies operating up to 200kHz. |
| Gain Accuracy | ±0.5% max - ensures ≤10mV error at ±1V full-scale output, critical for closed-loop motor torque control. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±1.5mV max - contributes ≤75µV error referred to input, preserving resolution for sub-amp current measurement. |
| Supply Current | 1.55mA typical at VCM > 5.5V - enables low-power operation in always-on battery monitoring circuits. |
| Shutdown Current | <10µA - allows system-level power gating during idle states without compromising wake-up latency. |
Pinout & Package
LT1999CS8-50#PBF uses an 8-lead plastic SO (narrow) package (S8), JEDEC MS-012AC compliant, with 1.27mm lead pitch and 5.0mm × 6.2mm body size. Thermal resistance θJA = 190°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| V+ (Pins 1, 4) | Power supply input | Internally tied pins accept 4.5V–5.5V; supports single 5V rail; lower voltages possible but uncharacterized. |
| +IN (Pin 2) | Positive sense input | Connects to high-side of shunt; differential pair input with 6.4–9.6kΩ impedance matching –IN. |
| –IN (Pin 3) | Negative sense input | Connects to low-side of shunt; matched to +IN for CMRR >96dB over full common mode range. |
| GND (Pin 5) | Analog ground reference | Return path for REF divider and internal bias; must be star-connected to minimize noise coupling. |
| REF (Pin 6) | Output common-mode reference | Defaults to V+/2 via internal 160kΩ dividers; externally overdrivable to set custom output center point. |
| OUT (Pin 7) | Amplified output | Low-impedance (0.15Ω) rail-to-rail capable output; drives ≥200pF directly; requires series R for larger capacitive loads. |
| SHDN (Pin 8) | Active-low shutdown control | Pulled to GND ≤0.5V to enter shutdown; floating or pulled high enables operation via internal 2µA pull-up. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

| Bidirectional current sensing | Output polarity indicates current direction - essential for regenerative braking and battery charge/discharge state detection. |
| FMEA-optimized pinout option | Available in dedicated MSOP-FMEA variant (LT1999CS8-50F#PBF); SO version uses standard pinout but shares same functional reliability. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current sense amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA240A1DR | 50V/V gain, –4V to 80V CM range, 1.1MHz bandwidth, 10ppm/°C gain drift vs. LT1999's 5μV/°C offset drift | Requires external REF decoupling; no internal mid-supply divider - adds BOM cost and layout complexity | Preferred for ultra-low drift systems where offset stability dominates over REF convenience |
| MAX4080TASA+ | 50V/V gain, –5V to 76V CM range, 250kHz bandwidth, 1.5µV/°C offset drift, SO-8 package | Lower bandwidth limits use in >100kHz PWM systems; lacks SHDN pin - no low-power sleep mode | Selected when cost sensitivity outweighs bandwidth needs and shutdown functionality is unnecessary |
Compared with INA240A1DR and MAX4080TASA+, the LT1999CS8-50#PBF uniquely integrates a factory-trimmed mid-supply REF divider, 1.2MHz bandwidth for high-frequency switching, and sub-10µA shutdown - making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-aware motor and power systems requiring zero-additional-component operation.

FAQ
What is the maximum common mode voltage the LT1999CS8-50#PBF can handle?
The LT1999CS8-50#PBF supports an input common mode voltage range of –5V to 80V. This allows safe operation in high-side configurations of 48V industrial systems and negative-rail sensing in specialized power architectures. Absolute maximum ratings extend to –5.25V and 88V for short-duration transients, but sustained operation should remain within the specified range to ensure guaranteed performance and reliability.
Does the LT1999CS8-50#PBF require external resistors to set gain?
No, the LT1999CS8-50#PBF has a fixed 50V/V gain implemented using laser-trimmed on-chip resistors - no external components are needed. The internal RG resistor is nominally 200kΩ, paired with 4kΩ input resistors to achieve exact 50× amplification. This eliminates gain-setting errors and PCB area associated with discrete resistor networks.
Can the LT1999CS8-50#PBF operate from a 3.3V supply?
No - the LT1999CS8-50#PBF is specified for 4.5V to 5.5V operation. While functional behavior may occur down to ~4V, Analog Devices does not characterize, guarantee, or recommend operation below 4.5V. Using 3.3V violates the absolute maximum rating for total supply voltage and risks degraded CMRR, bandwidth, output swing, and thermal instability.
How does the REF pin function in the LT1999CS8-50#PBF?
The REF pin in the LT1999CS8-50#PBF sets the output common-mode voltage. Internally biased to V+/2 by matched 160kΩ resistors, it defaults to 2.5V with a 5V supply. It can be overdriven by an external source within 1.125V to (V+ – 1.125V) to shift the output baseline - enabling compatibility with ADC reference voltages other than mid-supply, such as 1.25V or 3.3V systems.
Is the LT1999CS8-50#PBF pin-compatible with other gain versions like LT1999CS8-10#PBF?
Yes - all LT1999 SO-8 variants (LT1999CS8-10#PBF, LT1999CS8-20#PBF, LT1999CS8-50#PBF) share identical pinout, package, and footprint. Only the internal gain-setting resistor differs. This allows design reuse across current-sensing ranges: ±350mV full-scale for -10, ±200mV for -20, and ±80mV for -50 - simplifying schematic and layout revisions.
