  • ±1μV (typ) Input Offset Voltage for REF1 = REF2 = VDD/2
  • ±5μV (typ) Input Offset Voltage for REF1 = VDD and REF2 = GND at Gain = 20V/V
  • ±0.01% (typ) Gain Error
  • -5V to +70V Input Voltage Range
  • -6V to +80V Protective Immunity
  • 70kHz, -3dB Bandwidth at Gain = 20V/V
  • 145dB DC CMRR
  • Rail-to-Rail Output
  • 3mm x 3mm, TDFN-10 Package
  • -40°C to +125°C Temperature Range

The MAX49918 is a high-precision current-sense amplifier (CSA) with an I2C programmable gain option from 10V/V to 200V/V in 8 steps. The multiple programmable gain options offer maximum flexibility for the user to change gain on-the-fly.

The IC operating input common-mode range from -5V to +70V, with protections that extend down to -6V and up to +80V, thus providing protection against reverse-battery and high-voltage spikes.

The low input offset of ±1μV (typ) and low gain error of ±0.01% (typ) make this device best-suited for high-precision current measurements.

The IC operates from a supply voltage of +2.7V to +5.5V with a typical quiescent supply at 0.7mA. The device operates over the full -40°C to +125°C temperature range. The IC features bidirectional current sensing and is offered in a 3mm x 3mm, 10-pin TDFN package.

APPLICATIONS

  • Monitoring Distinct Current Levels
  • Using the Same Current-Sense Resistors Across Multiple System Variants
  • Requires a Non-Typical Gain Value Due to Sense Resistor Constraints
  • H-Bridge Motor and Solenoid Current Sensing
  • Battery Current Monitoring
  • High- and Low-Side Precision Current Sensing

Product Details

The MAX49918 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully tested and assembled circuit that demonstrates the capabilities of the MAX49918, a high-precision, wide measurement range, programmable gain, bidirectional current-sense amplifier that monitors two distinct current levels.

The gain of MAX49918 is programmed by I2C communication.

The MAX49918 EV kit operates over the automotive temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

The EV kit reserves a PCB footprint so that a MAX32625PICO board can be soldered on it. With the MAX32625PICO board, users can control the gain conveniently with the GUI software.
