The ESD structure of CA-IS1200 supports the absolute maximum analog input voltage (with respect to GND1) to range from
GND1 – 6 V to VDD1 + 0.5 V. To guarantee the long-term reliability and device performance, the differential analog input voltage
and the input common-mode voltage of CA-IS1200 must be kept within the specific range.

As shown in Figure 9-4 and Figure 9-5, the fail-safe output is a more negative differential output voltage which can be
distinguished from the negative clipping output voltage. This function contributes to fault diagnostics and system safety.

The typical application for current sensing is shown in Figure 10-1. The CA-IS1200 device is used to amplify the voltage across
the shunt resistor (Rshunt) and transmit it to the low-voltage side for control circuit to process. The differential input and the high
CMTI of CA-IS1200 ensure the reliable and accurate measurement in the high-noise and high-power switching applications such
as industrial motor drives. The voltage of Rshunt with respect to PGND varies from 0 V to the high voltage bus when switching,
thus isolation is required. The CA-IS1200 devices support up to 3750-VRMS (CA-IS1200U) or 5000-VRMS (CA-IS1200G) galvanic
isolation, making them suitable for these high-voltage industrial applications.
In a three-phase motor drive application, this circuit could be repeated three times and one for each phase in order to measure
each phase current.
Consider the following restrictions to choose proper value of the shunt resistor Rshunt:
• The voltage drop across Rshunt caused by the nominal measured current is within the linear differential input voltage range
VFSR;
• The voltage drop across Rshunt caused by the maximum allowed current must not exceed the maximum input voltage
before clipping output |VClipping|.
For best performance, place the shunt resistor close to the inputs of CA-IS1200 and keep the layout of both connections
symmetrical. This ensures that any noises occurring at high side are coupled equally to the inputs and would be rejected as a
Similarly, a 0.1-μF decoupling capacitor (C4) followed by an additional capacitor (C5) from 2.2 μF to 10 μF should be placed as
close as to the VDD2 pin of CA-IS1200 to filter the low-side power supply path.

In CA-IS1200, resistors R41 and R51 (or R42 and R52) are used to set the gain of front-end amplifier. The typical values are R41 = R42
= 12.5 kΩ and R51 = R52 = 50 kΩ. Resistors R61 and R62 are used to sense the common-mode voltage of the input in CA-IS1200.
The typical values are R61 = R62 = 100 kΩ.
First, consider the situation in which R32 is not used. Additional gain error and offset would arise in these applications for CA-
IS1200. On the one hand, the limited input impedance of CA-IS1200 is parallel with the external sensing resistor R31, resulting in
impedance change and thus additional gain error. On the other hand, the output common-mode voltage VCM of the front-end
differential amplifier in CA-IS1200 is biased to 1.875 V, which would generate bias current IINP and IINN flowing through the front-
end resistor network. The bias current IINP also flows through R31 while IINN flows directly to PGND in the case of omitting R32,
which results in unbalance and thus additional offset.
To eliminate the effect of the bias current, resistor R32 equal to sensing resistor R31 is recommended to be added between VINN
and PGND. The resistor R31 would bring in additional gain error EGA and could be calculated as Eq. 1 describes.
To reduce the effect of this gain error, the value of R31 should be chosen much smaller compared to R41. And this gain error could
also be minimized by the system-level gain calibration.
10.1.7 Caution
Do not leave the inputs of CA-IS1200 floating. If the VINP and VINN are left floating, the input common-mode voltage would be
pulled to a high level by internal bias, which could activate the fail-safe mode under certain power supply and may lead to
system-level abnormal reaction (refer to Fail-Safe Output for detailed information).
