Analog Devices recently introduced LT1999 Bidirectional Current Sense Amplifier. This new device was designed to keep a check on bidirectional current across a wide range of common-mode. Users can avail the LT1999 Bidirectional Current Sense Amplifier in three gain alternatives — 50, 20, and 10V/V.

Analog Devices’ LT1999 bidirectional current sense amplifier.
This amplifier is capable of sensing current through an external resistive shunt and produces an output voltage. This indicates both the direction and magnitude of the sensed current.
The resulting voltage gets referenced halfway somewhere between the ground, external or supply voltage It also comes with a 2MHz bandwidth along with a common-mode input range from -5V to 80V.
The LT1999 is ideal for keeping a check on currents in H-Bridge motor controls, solenoid currents, battery charge currents, and switching power supplies from full charge to depletion.
