SGM8198 High-side Current Shunt Monitor
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SGM8198 is a single, high-side, high speed, current shunt monitor that operates from 2.7V to 36V single supply, consuming only 65µA quiescent current. The device also features a wide common mode voltage range from 2.7V to 36V. Therefore, either side of the shunt current can be connected to the power supply, and the error is minimized.
The SGM8198 is designed to set any gain from 1 to 100 or more with one external resistor. Differential input voltage can be converted into output current, and the output current is converted back to voltage through load resistance. The device is very suitable for applications in many circuits requiring current shunt measurement or level shifting.
