Overview

The AD8479BRZ is a precision difference amplifier designed to measure small differential voltages in the presence of very high common-mode voltages up to plus or minus 600V. It features a unique architecture that provides high CMRR and a rail-to-rail output while operating on a standard supply range of 2.5V to 18V. This makes it an ideal solution for high-side current sensing and battery stack monitoring where isolation-like performance is required without the complexity of an isolated amplifier.

Why Choose This Part

The device offers a superior common-mode voltage range of plus or minus 600V with a high 130 kHz bandwidth and an 8V/us slew rate for fast transient response. Its low supply current of 550uA and rail-to-rail output simplify power management in dense industrial sensor nodes.

Applications

High-Voltage Current Sensing
Monitoring shunt resistors in high-voltage DC power rails or industrial motor drives.
Battery Cell Monitor
Measuring individual cell voltages within high-voltage battery stacks for EVs or energy storage systems.
Power Supply Monitoring
High-side current and voltage sensing in telecommunications power equipment.
Motor Control
Phase current sensing in industrial three-phase inverters where high common-mode transients are present.
