GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8218 is a high voltage, high resolution current shunt
amplifier. It features a set gain of 20 V/V, with a maximum
±0.35% gain error over the entire temperature range. The
buffered output voltage directly interfaces with any typical
converter. The AD8218 offers excellent input common-mode
rejection from 4 V to 80 V. The AD8218 performs bidirectional
current measurements across a shunt resistor in a variety of
industrial and telecom applications, including motor control,
battery management, and base station power amplifier bias
control.

The AD8218 offers breakthrough performance throughout the
−40°C to +125°C temperature range. It features a zero-drift core,
which leads to a typical offset drift of ±100 nV/°C throughout
the operating temperature range and the common-mode voltage
range. Special attention is devoted to output linearity being
maintained throughout the input differential voltage range of
0 mV to ~250 mV. The AD8218 also includes an internal 80 mV
reference that can be enabled for optimal dynamic range in
unidirectional current sense applications. The typical input
offset voltage is ±50 µV.
The AD8218 is offered in an 8-lead MSOP package.
