MP8110
Precision High-Side
Current-Sense Amplifier
The Future of Analog IC Technology
DESCRIPTION
The MP8110 is a low-cost, precision, high-side
current-sense amplifier. This device operates
from a single 2.5V to 40V supply and typically
consumes 12µA. It is ideal for today’s notebook
computers, cell phones and other systems
where battery/DC current monitoring is critical.
High-side current monitoring is especially useful
in battery-powered systems since it does not
interfere with the ground path of the battery
charger. The input common-mode range of
1.4V to 40V is independent of the supply
voltage and ensures that the current-sense
feedback remains viable even when connected
to a 2-cell battery pack in deep discharge.
This device is available in 8-pin SOIC and
MSOP packages.

MP8110 – PRECISION HIGH-SIDE CURRENT-SENSE AMPLIFIER
OPERATION
The MP8110 is a current-sense amplifier with a
wide operating input voltage range of 2.5V to
40V.It has 1.4V to 40V Common-Mode range.
This feature allows the monitoring of current
flow out of a battery in deep discharge, and also
enables high-side current sensing up to the
supply voltage, V
CC
. Current flows through the
sense resistor, R
S
, which generates a sense
voltage V
RS
. The high precision sense amplifier
built into the MP8110 monitors the differential
voltage across R
S
and dynamically adjusts the
gate voltage of the internal P-channel MOSFET
to maintain a equal passing current as I
RG1
. The
current amplifier gain is therefore set as: R
GS
/
R
G1
.
Choosing Sensing Resistor
Given the gain and maximum load current,
select R
S
such that V
RS
does not exceed
+0.25V and V
OUT1
does not exceed 5V. To
measure lower currents more accurately, use a
high value for Rs. A higher value develops a
higher sense voltage, which overcomes offset
voltage errors of the internal current amplifier.
In applications of monitoring very high current,
ensure R
S
is able to dissipate its own I
2
R
losses. If the resistor rating power is exceeded,
its value may drift or it may fail altogether,
causing a differential voltage across the
terminals in excess of the absolute maximum
range (0.25V).
