Additional Details

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 Detail

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.
