Current sense amplifier for phase current and high common mode voltage 400V - Single Supply non isolated

Hi,

I am looking for a current sense amplifier for the phase current sensing application for a 3 phase PMSM motor. I have shunt in each motor phase, my DC link voltage can be 400V. I could not find high common mode voltage amplifier with single supply.  I want to use non-isolated solution. I found AD8479 but it is dual supply. My current is AC so bi directional, I need to be able lift the ref pin to the half of my ADC voltage (SAR Single Ended). Will that work for AD8479 in single supply configuration? is there any other chip that can do in single supply configuration? 

Thanks

  • Hi ChaitanyaB,

    I apologize for the late reply.

    AD8479 can actually operate with a single-supply. You can view the details on page 13 of the datasheet.
    The major difference of single-supply operation with the dual-supply operation is that the input common-mode voltage range is reduced.
    The input common-mode voltage can be calculated as follows:

    VCM(±) = 61 × (VX or VY(±)) − (60 × VREF)

    From calculation, I think we can get above +/-400V input common-mode voltage range by using at least 8V reference voltage and 16V supply voltage. Please let us know if it works with your ADC.

    For other chips that can do single-supply configuration, I will check and get back to you.

    Best Regards,
    Sham

  • Hi again ChaitanyaB,

    For now, only AD8479 can accommodate +/- 400V on single-supply.
    Other chips can only accommodate less than  +/-300V (single-supply also).
