I tried to simulate a highside current sense using LMP7711. Because it doesn't worked, I tried a simple test circuit, see attached file.
Selecting "Calculate nodal voltages" gives VF=49.7V and VM1=1.7V .
I think it's not correct.
Best regards
Stefan

Stefan,
In your circuit, you have connected a +48V to the VEE pin. Is that intentional? What were you hoping to see with this circuit?
I am attaching a simple transient circuit to test the device. (Analysis-->Transient... and click on OK)
The device appears to function normally in this circuit.
Hi Britt,
my intention was to simulate a highside current sense, see the attached file. R1 is the shunt resistor, the OPA-supply is centered around the 48V.
I've seen this circuit in many application notes, it should work.
Stefan,
I am a modeling engineer in the WEBENCH Signal Chain Modeling team.
The LMP7711 model uses a lot of internal nodes connected to ground ('0' node).
Sometimes this causes the model to work fine on a balanced, split supply, but not so well on higher-voltage single-ended supply like yours.
I did a quick search-and-replace that replaced the model's '0' nodes with a floating ground.
The revised model seems to give the expected DC solution and a quick transient sim in the attached circuit looked okay.
Please give it a try and let me know...
This is an older model. If these quick revs don't work, it will take a while to generate a new model.
