DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 1698A features the LT1999, a high
voltage, bi-directional current sense amplifi er.
The demo board amplifi es the voltage drop across an on
board current sense resistor. The output voltage is a bi-
directional signal that is centered on the V
is proportional to the current through the sense resistor.
The output is scaled by one of three fi xed gain options. The
gain options are: 10V/V (DC1698A-A), 20V/V (DC1698A-B)

OPERATING PRINCIPLES
The LT1999 operates by amplifying the voltage drop
across a user selected sense resistor. The voltage across
the resistor is amplifi ed by a fi xed gain of 10V/V, 20V/V
or 50V/V(LT1999-10,LT1999-20,LT1999-50) and is level

and 50V/V (DC1698A-C). The input voltage range is from
–5V to 80V (independent of the device supply voltage)
allowing the part to be used for high or low side current
sensing. The LT1999 requires a separate 5V supply voltage.
