LMP8481MMX-S

Texas Instruments · Current Sense Amplifiers · VSSOP-8

LMP8481MMX-S from Texas Instruments, in a VSSOP-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 RSP input Positive current-sense input. Connect to the high-side (source) end of the external sense resistor. Common-mode range 4 V to 76 V; input bias current ~7 µA.
2 VCC power_in Positive supply voltage input, 4.5 V to 76 V (85 V abs max). Quiescent current < 100 µA typical. Decouple to GND with a local bypass capacitor.
3 NC unconnected No connect - not internally connected. Leave floating or tie to GND for board robustness.
4 GND power_in Device ground return for the low-voltage supply and internal reference circuitry.
5 VOUT output Buffered analog voltage output equal to gain (60 V/V for -S) × (V(RSP) - V(RSN)) plus the reference offset set by REFA/REFB. Drives >5 mA into loads; recommended RL ≥ 100 kΩ for full accuracy. Output limited to min(VCC + 0.3 V, +20 V).
6 REFB input Reference voltage 'B' input for the LMP8481. Combined with REFA it sets the VOUT zero-current level for bidirectional sensing; when REFA and REFB are tied together the range is -0.3 V to min(VCC - 1.5 V, +6 V); with the other REF pin grounded a single REF pin may swing up to +12 V (see recommended operating conditions).
7 REFA input Reference voltage 'A' input for the LMP8481. Paired with REFB to program the VOUT offset for bidirectional current sensing. Typical configuration: tie REFA and REFB together to a mid-supply reference, or ground one and drive the other for split biasing.
8 RSN input Negative current-sense input. Connect to the load-side end of the external sense resistor. Differential input voltage range ±85 V max; input bias current ~7 µA.
