80 V common-mode — where it sits in the system
The AD8417WBRMZ-10RL is a bidirectional current-sense amplifier from Analog Devices that handles an 80 V common-mode voltage range on the input pins, which means it can sit directly on a high-side shunt resistor in a 48 V or 60 V bus without a level-shifting front end. That 80 V rating is the headline spec that decides whether this part fits your BOM or you need a different topology.
Package and mounting
The -3 dB bandwidth is 250 kHz, and the slew rate is 1 V/µs. For a current-sense amplifier, that combination tells you the part can track PWM switching edges in a motor drive or a buck converter running at a few hundred kilohertz, but it won't faithfully reproduce a sub-microsecond current spike from a short-circuit event. If your application needs to capture fast overcurrent transients for a comparator trip, you'll want a faster amplifier. The 130 µA input bias current is typical for this class — it's the price you pay for the wide common-mode range.
Package and supply rails
The supply span is tight — you can't run it off a 12 V rail directly. The input offset voltage is 200 µV, which sets the floor for your measurement accuracy at low shunt voltages. For a 10 mΩ shunt, 200 µV of offset corresponds to 20 mA of reading error before you even account for gain error or noise.
Lifecycle and compliance
It's ROHS3 compliant, so it clears the EU RoHS exemption list without any lead or restricted-substance concerns.
