LOW SIDE CURRENT SENSING APPLICATION WITH

NEGATIVE COMMON MODE TRANSIENTS

Figure 10 illustrates the application of the LMP8602/

LMP8603 in a high side sensing application. This application

is similar to the low side sensing discussed above, except in

this application the common mode voltage on the shunt drops

below ground when the driver is switched off. Because the

common mode voltage range of the LMP8602/LMP8603 ex-

tends below the negative rail, the LMP8602/LMP8603 is also

very well suited for this application.
