Current Sense Amplifier

Introduction:

High side current sense amplifier. Bi-direction. Attaches directly to Deltec MKA shunt or similar. Amplifies shunt voltage by 20 times and adds a 2.5 volt offset. Also provides a voltage sense wire. All wires are fused with 0.125 amp fuses. Amplifier comes standard with 5 foot shielded 24 AWG 300V wire. Can be ordered with no wire or custom length wire. Conformal coating is available as an option. Shunt not included — see accessories below.

Wire color codes and functions:

  • Red: +5 volts
  • White: Volt sense (connected to + on shunt)
  • Green: Current sense
  • Black: Ground

Transfer Function:

There are two parameters you need to calculate the transfer function between voltage output of current sense amplifier and current flowing through the shunt:
  1. vdrop or rated voltage drop across shunt.
  2. irated or rated current of the shunt.
Using those values, calculate:
m = irated / ( vdrop * 20 )
b = m * -2.5
m and b are used in the equation:
i = m * vsensor + b
Example with sensor outputting 3.75 volts with a 100 amp / 100mV shunt:
m = ( 100 / ( 0.100 * 20 ) ) = 50
b = 50 * -2.5 = -125
i = 50 * 3.75 + -125 = 62.5 amps

This product is based around an Analog Devices ADR8210.
