General Description
The HV7802 high side current monitor IC contains a
transconductance amplifier which translates a high side
current measurement voltage into an output current with
resistor programmable transconductance gain. An optional
second resistor transforms this output current into an output
voltage with an overall voltage gain set by the ratio of the two
resistors.
The measurement voltage typically originates at a current
sense resistor, which is located in a “high side” circuit, for
example a circuit not directly associated with ground.
This monitor IC features a very wide input voltage range,
configurable gain, small size, low component count, low power
consumption, ease of use, and low cost. Offline applications,
battery, and portable applications can be served equally well
due to the wide input voltage range and the low quiescent
current.

►
The current to be measured does not flow in a circuit
associated with ground.
►
The measurement at ground level can lead to ambiguity
due to changes in the grounding arrangement during
field use.
►
The introduction of a sense resistor in the system ground
is undesirable due to issues with safety, EMI, or signal
degradation caused by common impedance coupling.

Principle of Operation
Bias
Circuits
The operational amplifier forces the voltage across R

to
track V
SENSE
, therefore, V
RA
= V

. Transconductance gain
is equal to (1/R
A
).
I
RA
flows from the OUT pin to low side circuitry. Current to
voltage conversion can be accomplished by a resistor, R
B
,
as shown in the block diagram, with a transimpedance gain
equal to R
B
.
Typically we would like to exploit the full current capability of
the transimpedance amplifier. A R
A
of 5kΩ will provide this
current, assuming a full scale sense voltage of 500mV and a
full scale sense current of 100µA.
In a voltage output application, the output resistor R
B
is
determined by the desired overall voltage gain of (R
B
/ R
A
).
For example, a R
B
of 10kΩ results in a voltage gain of two.

Application Information
General
The HV7802 high side current monitor IC features accurate
current sensing, small size, low component count, low power
consumption, exceptional input voltage range, ease of use
and low cost.
Typical use is measurement of line and load current for
purpose of overcurrent protection, metering and current
regulation.
High side current sensing, as opposed to ground referenced
or low side current sensing, is desirable or required when:
OUT Pin Loading Effects
Note that the output is not buffered having an output
impedance equal to R
B
. Loading of the output causes voltage
gain to drop and rise and fall times to increase.
For example, assume a gain of one, using R
A
= R
B
= 5kΩ. In
this case the load resistance should exceed 5MΩ in order to
limit the gain drop to 1 part in 1000.
Assuming an output resistance of 5kΩ, a capacitive load of
20pF results in a load pole with a time constant of 100ns,
not enough to materially affect the output rise and fall time
(about 700ns).

Sense Resistor Considerations
Limit the sense resistor voltage to 500mV during normal
operating conditions. Limit the power dissipation in the sense
resistor to suit the application; a high sense voltage benefits
accuracy, but may result in high power dissipation as well.
Consider the use of Kelvin connections for applications where
considerable voltage drops may occur in the PCB traces.
A layout pattern, which minimizes voltage drops across the
sense lines is shown below.
+ V
SENSE
Transient Protection
Add a protection resistor (R
P
) in series with the LOAD pin if
V
SENSE
can exceed 5V in positive sense or 600mV in negative
sense, whether in steady state or in transient conditions.
A large V
SENSE
may occur during system startup or shutdown
when charging and discharging large capacitors. V
SENSE
may
be large due to fault conditions, such as short circuit or a
broken or missing sense resistor.
An internal 5V Zener diode with a current rating of 10mA
protects the sense amplifier inputs. The block diagram
shows the orientation of this diode. The Zener diode provides
clamping at 5V for a positive V
SENSE
and at 600mV for a
negative V
SENSE
.
Limit the Zener current to 10mA under worst case conditions.
A 100kΩ resistor limits the maximum Zener diode current to
4.5mA when V
SENSE
is 450V, whether positive or negative.
Note that the protection resistor may affect bandwidth.
The resistor forms a RC network with the trace and pin
capacitance at the LOAD pin. For example, capacitance of
5pF results in a time constant of 500ns.
The protection resistor may cause an offset voltage due to
bias current at the LOAD input. A 100kΩ protection resistor
could cause an offset of 100µV, or 0.2% of full scale, under
worst case bias current. Note that bias current is nominally
zero since LOAD is a high impedance CMOS input, resulting
in zero bias current induced offset voltage.

R
SENSE
IN
LOAD
Choose a low inductance type sense resistor if preservation
of bandwidth is important. Kelvin connections help by
minimizing the inductive voltage drops as well. The inductive
voltage drop may be substantial when operating at high
frequency. A trace or component inductance of just 10nH
contributes an impedance of 6.2mΩ at 100kHz, which
constitutes a 6% error when using a 100mΩ sense resistor.
