MAX9938 Datasheet Precision Current-Sense Amplifier

Manufacturer: Maxim Integrated (now Analog Devices)

General Description

The MAX9938 high-side current-sense amplifier offers precision accuracy specifications of V OS less than 500μV (max) and gain error less than 0.5% (max).

Quiescent supply current is an ultra-low 1μA.

The MAX9938 fits in a tiny, 1mm x 1mm UCSP™ package size or a 5-pin SOT23 package, making the part ideal for applications in notebook computers, cell phones, PDAs, www.DataSheet4U.com and all battery-operated portable devices where accuracy, low quiescent current, and small size are critical.

Overview

19-4110; Rev 0; 4/08 1µA, 4-Bump UCSP/SOT23, Precision Current-Sense.

Key Features

  • an input common-mode voltage range from 1.6V to 28V. These current-sense amplifiers have a voltage output and are offered in three gain versions: 25V/V (MAX9938T), 50V/V (MAX9938F), and 100V/V (MAX9938H). The three gain selections offer flexibility in the choice of the external current-sense resistor. The very low 500μV (max) input offset voltage allows small 25mV to 50mV full-scale VSENSE voltage for very low voltage drop at full-current measurement. The MAX9938 is offered in tiny 4-bump, UCSP.
