The MAX4372 low-cost, precision, high-side current-sense amplifier is available in a tiny, space-saving SOT23 5-pin package. Offered in three gain versions (T = 20V/V, F = 50V/V, and H = 100V/V), this device operates from a single 2.7V to 28V supply and consumes only 30µA. It features a voltage output that eliminates the need for gain-setting resistors and is ideal for today's notebook computers, cell phones, and other systems where battery/DC current monitoring is critical.

High-side current monitoring is especially useful in battery-powered systems since it does not interfere with the ground path of the battery charger. The input common-mode range of 0 to 28V is independent of the supply voltage and ensures that the current-sense feedback remains viable even when connected to a 2-cell battery pack in deep discharge.

The user can set the full-scale current reading by choosing the device (T, F, or H) with the desired voltage gain and selecting the appropriate external sense resistor. This capability offers a high level of integration and flexibility, resulting in a simple and compact current-sense solution. For higher bandwidth applications, refer to the MAX4173T/F/H data sheet.

Applications

  • Cell Phones
  • General-System/Board-Level Current Monitoring

Product Detail

The MAX9928 evaluation kit (EV kit) provides a proven design to evaluate the MAX9928 uni-/bidirectional, high-side, current-sense amplifier, which offers precision accuracy specifications of VOS < 400µV and gain error < 1.0%. This EV kit demonstrates the MAX9928F in an ultra-small, 1mm x 1.5mm x 0.6mm, 6-bump UCSP™ package. The MAX9928 is also available in an 8-pin µMAX®, but that package is not compatible with this EV kit.

The MAX9928 EV kit PCB comes with a MAX9928FABT+ installed, which is the 5µA/mV gain version. The MAX9928 EV kit can also be used to evaluate the MAX9929F (50V/V). This EV kit can also evaluate the MAX4372 in a footprint-compatible UCSP package. Contact the factory for free samples of the pin-compatible MAX9929FABT+ device.
