I'm trying to simulate high side shunt resistor current measurement using LT6015 op amp, but the simulation doesn't work I'm always having the same output even if I change the current. Can somebody tell me why?

schematic

lt6015 datasheet

  • \$\begingroup\$ Yes, you are correct. It looked like the voltage shown on the schematic on the other side of the shunt was 0.00000002 V, but it's actually 8.80000002, which I saw more clearly when I enlarged the image. I'll delete my comment. \$\endgroup\$

You have two problems. As Spehro notes, the 3.3V power supply is connected backwards. You will also clip the output with a 0.2V input. Either change the gain, the current sense resistor, or the 3.3V power supply to 5V.

If you simulate your circuit with a sine wave input, you can see the part saturating.

You've reversed the power supply connections on the LT6015. You've burned out the chip. Delete it and download a new one.
