N2  - A high-voltage replica based current sensor is presented, along with challenges and design techniques which are rarely discussed in literature so far. The performance is evaluated by detailed small signal and large signal analysis. By dedicated placing of high-voltage cascode devices, while keeping as many low-voltage devices as possible, a high gain-bandwidth product is achieved. A decoupling and biasing circuit is introduced which improves the response time of the current sensor at on/off transitions by a factor of five. The current sensor is implemented in a 180nm HV BiCMOS technology. The sensor achieves a DC loop gain of 83 dB and a gain-bandwidth product of 7 MHz. With the proposed techniques, the gain-bandwidth product is increased by a factor of six. The measurable current range is between 60mA and 1.5 A. The performance is demonstrated in a 500 kHz buck converter at an input voltage of 40V. The overall circuit concept is suitable for 100V and beyond, enabling high performance power management designs including switched mode power supplies and motor applications.
